1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The HMP230 series transmitters are microprocessor based instruments for the
measurement of relative humidity and temperature; from these variables they
can calculate dewpoint temperature, absolute humidity, mixing ratio, wet bulb
temperature and enthalpy. The transmitters have two analogue outputs and
they can be connected to a serial bus via the RS 232C interface or through an
RS 485/422 serial module or a current loop module. At dewpoint temperatures
below 0 °C, the user can select whether the transmitter calculates dewpoint or
frostpoint reading; as default, the transmitter calculates dewpoint.
The series consists of four types of transmitters:
• HMP231, wall installation
• HMP233, ifor tight places; temperatures up to +80 or +120 °C
• HMP234, forpressure or vacuum chambers
• HMP235, for high temperatures of +180 °C
• HMP237, leak proof small size probe for pressures up to 10 bar
• HMP238, for pressurized processes
The transmitters can be configured in many ways. They can have either a
blank cover or a cover with a local display and keypad with which the user can
operate the transmitter. The power supply voltage can be selected from three
alternatives. Two analogue output signals are selected from the measured and
calculated quantities; the signals can be scaled and the measurement ranges
changed within certain limits. The HMP233, HMP234, HMP235, HMP237
and HMP238 probes can be supplied with two, five or ten metre sensor head
cable.
The humidity measuring range is 0...100 %RH. The temperature is measured
with a Pt 100 sensor. Temperature measurement range depends on the model;
the HMP234, HMP235, HMP237 and HMP238 have the widest range, -
40...+180 °C. The analogue temperature output can be scaled quite freely, for
example-20...+60 °C can be set to correspond to 0...10 V. The dewpoint
temperature, absolute humidity, mixing ratio, wet bulb temperature and
enthalpy ranges are also scalable.
In some applications the sensor gain may gradually decrease because of an
interference caused by some chemical present in the ambient. These changes
can be recovered with an optional re-gaining function. Transmitters including
this function are equipped with a composite humidity and temperature sensor.
The HMP230 series units incorporate the HUMICAP® sensor, which uses an
operating principle based on changes in the capacitance of the sensor as its
thin polymer film absorbs water molecules.

2. TO BE NOTED WHEN MEASURING HUMIDITY
In the measurement of humidity and especially in calibration it is essential that
temperature equilibrium is reached. Even a small difference in temperature
between the measured object and the sensor causes an error. If the temperature
is +20 °C (+68 °F) and the relative humidity 50 %RH, a difference of ±1 °C
between the measured object and the sensor causes an error of ±3 %RH. When
the humidity is 90 %RH, the corresponding error is ±5.4 %RH.
The error is at its greatest when the sensor is colder or warmer than the surroundings and the humidity is high. A temperature difference of a few degrees
can cause water to condense on the sensor surface. In an unventilated space
evaporation may take hours; good ventilation accelerates evaporation. The
HUMICAP sensor starts to function normally as soon as the water has evaporated. If the condensed water is contaminated, the life span of the sensor may
shorten and calibration may change.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Selecting the place of installation
Choose a place which gives a true picture of the environment or process, and
is as clean as possible. Air should circulate freely around the sensor. A rapid
air flow is recommended; it ensures that the sensor head and the ambient air
are at the same temperature.
Install the transmitter in a place where no cold or hot spot can develop. When
the sensor head is installed in a duct or process channel where the temperature
is different from the ambient temperature, insulate the point of entry; this is
particularly important if the transmitter is installed with the sensor head
pointing downwards. Installing the sensor head of the HMP233, HMP234 and
HMP235 vertically is not recommended. An uninsulated installation could
lead to condensation in the sensor head and even when no condensation occurs, the resultant air flow may change the temperature near the sensor and
distort the readings.
Install the sensor head in the process wherever possible; avoid sample flows
where the gas temperature can drop below dewpoint temperature. Install the
sensor head transversely against the direction of the process flow.
In duct or channel installations drill a hole ready for a reference meter. Plug
the reference hole tightly.
Install the electronics housing away from possible steams escaping from the
process.
NOTE
To ensure an IP 65 class protection:
1. Always mount the transmitter housing with the cable
bushings pointing downwards.
2. Make sure that the connection cable has the right
thickness (∅ 7...10 mm) and that the cable bushing
is carefully tightened.
3. Pay always special attention to closing the
transmitter cover carefully and remember to tighten
all four screws.

3.2. Mounting
3.2.1. Mounting the HMP231
The best position for mounting the HMP231 is with the probe head pointing
downwards. Due to internal heat transfer, the transmitter should not be
mounted with the probe pointing upwards.

104
Ø 6.5
Figure 2 Mounting holes in the HMP230 transmitter housing.
3.2.2. Installing the HMP233, HMP234 and HMP235
It is recommended that the cable models HMP233, HMP234 and HMP235 be
mounted with the sensor head horizontally; this way, any water condensing on
the tube cannot flow onto the sensors. When there is no alternative but to
install the sensor head in the process vertically, the point of entry must be
carefully insulated. The cable must also be allowed to hang loosely as in
Figure 6; this prevents any condensed water from running onto the sensor head
along the cable.
If the process temperature is much higher than that of the environment, the
whole sensor head and preferably a piece of the cable must be inside the process.
When mounted on the side of a duct or channel, the sensor head must be inserted from the side (see Figure 8). If this is not possible and the sensor head
must be inserted from the top, the point of entry must be carefully insulated.

HMP230 SERIES
User's Guide M210225en-B
NOTE
During installation the sensor head must not be unsoldered from and again resoldered to the main printed
board of the transmitter. This procedure may damage
the humidity calibration of the transmitter.
3.2.3. HMP233 transmitter
The HMP233 can be installed in ducts and channels with the help of the installation kit available; the kit consists of a flange, a supporting bar for the
sensor head cable and screws for attaching the flange to the wall of a duct.
With the help of the installation kit the distance between the sensor head and
the channel wall can be easily adjusted. The range of adjustment is 100...320
mm; the distance is measured from the tip of the sensor head to the flange.

The sensor head can also be installed vertically.
When a bushing is used, its
size is selected according to
the diameter of the sensor
head; the diameter of the
cable is increased by using
e.g. tape at the bushing

3.2.4. HMP234 transmitter
The atmospheric pressure has an effect on mixing ratio, wet bulb temperature
and enthalpy. Therefore, accurate calculations can be achieved only when the
ambient pressure is taken into consideration. The pressure is used for pressure
compensation of the HUMICAP sensor in order to ensure the best possible
measurement accuracy. If the process pressure differs from normal
ambient pressure, the value has to be entered in the transmitter memory
when using the transmitters HMP234 or HMP238. The pressure to be
entered is the absolute pressure in hPa or mbar (for pressure unit conversion,
see Appendix 10).
The HMP234 is supplied with a nut, a fitting body and a sealing washer. During handling the fitting body and the nut should remain in place on the body of
the sensor head to prevent damage to the highly polished surface.
To achieve a leak-tight assembly:
1. Remove the fitting body from the nut and the sensor head.
2. Fasten the fitting body to the chamber wall. Tighten the fitting body
into the threaded sleeve with a torque spanner. The tightening torque
is 150 ±10 Nm.
3. Insert the body of the sensor head into the fitting body and screw the
nut manually to the fitting body until the connection feels tight.

Figure 8 Mounting the sensor head on a duct or channel.
When the sensor head is installed in a duct or channel, the temperature difference between the air in the duct and outside it must be small as the sensor
head conducts heat.
3.2.6. HMP237 transmitter
HMP237 has a small size probe made of stainless steel. The sensor head
withstands temperatures -40...180 ºC (-40...356 ºF) and pressure up to 10 bar
(1MPa, 145 psi). The probe is suitable for applications where a mechanically
very durable leak proof probe is needed. The sensor head of the HMP237 can
be installed in a channel with the help of flange and supporting bar (see Figure
3). Duct and cable installations are shown in Figures 9 and 10.

3. Thread the probe through the AGRO-fitting
body and nut (without the cut rubber).
4. Set the cut rubber sealing through the cable
between the fitting body and the nut.
5. Turn the fitting body to the hole, push the
rubber sealing into the fitting body and tighten
the nut.
3.2.7. HMP238 transmitter
The atmospheric pressure has an effect on mixing ratio, wet bulb temperature
and enthalpy. Therefore, accurate calculations can be achieved only when the
ambient pressure is taken into consideration. The pressure is used for pressure
compensation of the HUMICAP sensor in order to ensure the best possible
measurement accuracy. If the process pressure differs from normal
ambient pressure, the value has to be entered in the transmitter memory
when using the transmitters HMP234 or HMP238. The pressure to be
entered is the absolute pressure in hPa or mbar (for pressure unit conversion,
see Appendix 10).
It is recommended that the sensor head is installed directly in the process
through the ball valve assembly. When the ball valve set is used, the chamber
or the duct does not have to be emptied or shut down for installation or
removal of the probe. Install the sensor head transversely against the direction
of the process flow.
However, if direct installation is not possible for some reason, the probe can
be installed in a "leak-through" position provided that there is a slight
overpressure in the process. In this installation, the probe is mounted behind
the ball valve assembly. The flow passes through the sensor head and leaks
out through a vent hole in the fitting body. However, make sure that the
temperature at the measurement point is equal to that of the process.

When the probe is installed directly on the process wall or pipe, note that a
closing valve may be needed on both sides of the installed probe so that the
sensor head can be removed from the process for calibration and maintenance.
If the sensor head is installed in a pressurized chamber, always make sure that
the pressure of the chamber is equalized with the ambient pressure prior to
removing the probe.

3.2.7.2. Installing the probe through the ball valve assembly
The best way to install the sensor head is through the ball valve assembly. Use
a 1/2” ball valve assembly with a ball hole of ∅14 mm or more. In this kind of
installation, it is not necessary to empty or shut down the process for installing
or removing the sensor head. If the sensor head is installed in a process pipe,
please note that the nominal size of the pipe must be at least 1 inch. See pages
16 - 19 for detailed instructions.

NOTE
The probe can be installed in the process through the
ball valve assembly provided that the process pressure
is less than 10 bars. This way, the process does not have
to be shut down when installing or removing the probe.
However, if the process is shut down before removing
the probe, the process pressure can be max. 40 bars.

For by-pass measurements, the probe is mounted behind the ball valve
assembly and non-leaking screw A on the fitting body is replaced with leaking
screw B and O-ring is placed on the groove of the sintered filter. Screw B has
a small (0.08 mm) laser-made hole in the middle; the gas or air to be measured
passes through the sintered filter and by the sensor, and leaks out through the
screw. The process pressure reduces in the hole of the screw B. This
installation is recommended if the process flow rate is >20 m/s and there is an
over-pressure in the process.

When pushing the probe head through the ball valve assembly, be careful not
to break the sintered filter. Open and close the ball valve assembly with the
marking groove always in sight. In by-pass measurements, the clasp nut is
tightened manually prior to pressing the probe through the valve. When the
probe has been pressed through and the valve is open, the nut is tightened
50...60° with a fork spanner (hexagon 27 mm).
3.3. Grounding
A single electrical cable with a screen and three to ten wires is recommended
for power and analogue output/serial bus connections. The cable diameter
should be 7...10 mm.
The screen of the electrical cable must be grounded properly to achieve best
possible EMC performance. Recommended cable shield is done in the cable
gland as shown below.

NOTE
When the cable is grounded as above, the metallic parts
of the sensor head, the shield of its cable, the transmitter housing and the shield of the signal cable to external
system are all connected to each other. After this the
whole system can be grounded from one point only. If
the grounding is made via several points (sensor head,
transmitter housing, signal cable), make sure that the
different groundings are made to the same grounding
potential. Otherwise harmful grounding currents may be
generated. If you do the grounding via the transmitter
housing, use one serrated lock washer between a mounting screw and the housing; the lock washer breaks the
paint on the housing.
When mains power supply is in use, the housing must be grounded by protective ground wire using a grounding screw at the right-hand side of the power
supply module (see Appendix 2).

3.4.1. Connection to a 24 VAC supply
The HMP230 transmitters can also be connected to a 24 VAC supply without
an external rectifier. However, when more than one transmitter is connected to
one 24 VAC transformer, a common loop is formed and there is an increased
risk of a short-circuit. To avoid this, always use separate floating supply for
each transmitter (see Figure 21 A). However, if several transmitters have to
share one transformer, the phase (∼) must always be connected to + connector
in each transmitter (see Figure 21 B).

4. COMMISSIONING
When HMP230 transmitters leave the factory, their measurement ranges and
output signals have already been scaled according to the order form completed
by the customer. Units are calibrated at the factory and ready to operate when
the power is turned on. If you take into use active current, voltage or serial bus
outputs, make these connections first; Appendix 9 describes them in detail.
NOTE
Make sure that the power is not turned on until cables
have been connected to screw terminals!
In transmitters with display, the software version appears for a few seconds
when the power is turned on. After this, measurement results appear
automatically. Should an error message appear on the display, consult
Appendix 5.
If your transmitter has a blank cover and the LED indicator inside the housing
lights up, consult Appendix 5 for further information.
Appendix 7 contains information on how to determine the ranges for alarm
outputs and alarm controls when an alarm output unit is used.
4.1. Changing the parameters
If necessary, the user can subsequently change the measurement units between
metric and non-metric and select and scale the output signals with software
functions. This is done through commands, either utilizing the menus on the
local display or giving commands through the serial interface (see
Appendices). Most often the commands are used to change the settings of the
two analogue channels.
4.2. Security lock jumper
Before the settings can be changed, the user must first remove the security
lock jumper in connector X15 (see Figure 22). The security lock jumper makes
it impossible to change the transmitter settings by mistake.
