Thank you for choosing the Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and
Temperature Transmitter Series HMT130. This chapter introduces you to
its features.

all the applications from ventilation to process control in demanding
conditions. For more information about other Vaisala relative humidity
instruments, please contact your Vaisala representative or visit
www.vaisala.com.
Introduction to the HMT130
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series
HMT130 measures relative humidity and temperature and outputs the
measurements to voltage outputs and RS-485. Other quantities, such as
dewpoint (Td) can be calculated from the basic RH and T values
according to the device configuration. HMT130 is powered with a
10 ... 35 VDC or a 24 VAC supply (15 ... 35 VDC or 24 VAC required
when using 0 ... 10 V output). It outputs two analog voltage signals with
nominal 0 ... 10 V range. HMT130 has also an RS-485 digital interface
and a relay.
HMT130 transmitter's output quantities are configurable. Available
quantities for outputs are limited to two at the time. These two quantities
can be used freely at any outputs (display, service port and voltage
outputs).
Available quantities are RH, T, Td, Td/f, a, x, h, Tw, pws and pw.
The default output quantities are set at the factory during order time.
These factory preset quantity selections can be changed afterwards via
the service port if necessary.
The HMT130T and HMT130H models are single-parameter transmitters.
The only output quantity of HMT130T is temperature. The output of the
HMT130H can be configured to be any one of the humidity-related
quantities (RH, Td, Td/f, a, x, h, Tw, pws and pw).
Only probes that have a compatible digital output (VDIGI mode) can be
used with HMT130 transmitter.
the first letter in their order code. The order code is written on the probe.
Accessories
The following accessories are optionally available:
- Duct installation kit
- Rain shield with installation kit
- Rain/solar radiation shield installation kit (for pole installation)
- Probe mounting flange
- Probe mounting clamp
- Constant output probe (HMP110REF, gives constant RH and T
values)
Fixed and Remote Probe Models
The HMT130 is available either with a fixed probe directly attached to
the transmitter housing or a remote probe with different (3/5/10/20 m)
cable lengths. All extension cables can be easily cascaded in order to
obtain longer reach; see Options and Accessories on page 81.
NOTE
Optional Display
The HMT130 is also available with an optional graphical 128*64
resolution LCD display. The display shows the measurement results of
selected parameters in selected units (defined at the time of ordering).
The parameters are displayed simultaeously at two separate rows on the
display.
Interchangeable Probe
The HMP110 relative humidity probe used in the HMT130 transmitter is
fully interchangeable. You can easily remove the probe and replace it
with a new one without having to adjust the transmitter. You have the
following options when purchasing a new probe from Vaisala:
- Order a new probe and keep your current one.
- Order a new probe and return the old one to Vaisala (replacement
probe).
The transmitter goes to the error state for a short time when the probe is
changed. This is normal.
Constant Output Probe
The constant output probe HMP110REF is a testing accessory that can
be used to check transmitter's functions and measurement signal transfer
chain all the way to the control system. The constant output probe does
not measure humidity and temperature; instead, it outputs constant
humidity and temperature readings.
The values output by the constant output probe are specified when
ordering. These values are written on an additional label on the probe
body.
The procedure for using the constant output probe is simply to replace
the original probe for the duration of the testing:
1. Disconnect the normal probe from transmitter.
2. Connect the constant output probe to the transmitter.
3. Check that all used outputs (analog, display, serial line) show the
correct measurement values.
NOTE
4. After checking the outputs, disconnect the constant output probe
and reconnect the original probe.
Figure 1 below illustrates the main features of HMT130. On the left is a
remote probe model without display, and on the right is a fixed probe
model with the optional display. The numbers and arrows indicate the
main components of the transmitters.

Duct Installation Kit
The duct installation kit includes a plastic pipe with a flange (Vaisala
order code: 215619). To install the HMP110 probe with the duct
installation kit, drill a hole to the duct wall, assemble the probe to the
duct installation kit, slide the probe head through the hole, and attach the
flange to the duct wall with four screws. See section Probe Assembly
with Duct Installation Kit on page 20 for details.
The coaxial silicone plug that is delivered with the flange is not
for use with the probe cable of the HMT130.
Drill the holes for the duct installation kit as follows:
1. Use a 24-mm drill bit to drill a hole to the duct wall for the
humidity probe.
2. Drill holes for the duct installation kit mounting screws around the
hole in a square arrangement, 42 mm apart from each other. Use a
3.2-mm drill bit to drill the holes for the mounting screws (four
ST4.2×16-C-Z DIN 7981 screws).
Probe Mounting Flange
The probe mounting flange (Vaisala order code: 226061) is a general
purpose mounting flange for 12 mm diameter probes. It can be used to
hold the HMP110 probe in a through-wall installation.

supplies and uncontrolled earth current loops could cause measurement
errors or even damage to the HMT130 transmitter
Probe Mounting Clamp
The optional mounting clamp makes it easy to install the probe on the
wall of the measurement environment. The probe can be detached for
calibration simply by loosening the lower screw. You can order a single
clamp (Vaisala order code 225501) or a set of 10 clamps (226067).
Installing the entire probe in the measurement environment prevents heat
conduction to the sensor, and is the recommended installation method.

NOTE
15 ... 35 VDC or 24 VAC is needed when using the 0 ... 10 V output.
Numbers 1 ... 6 in the first column of the wiring table refer to section (A)
and numbers 7 ... 11 to section (B) in Figure 12 on page 24.
There is an internal connection between numbers 1 and 5 on section (A)
and number 9 on section (B).
RS-485 Bus Termination
If you use RS-485 to connect just one HMT130 to a master computer,
enable the internal termination of HMT130 by switching switches 1 and
2 ON. Make sure that the master's end of the line is also terminated (by
using master's internal termination or with a separate terminator).
If you are connecting many transmitters to the same RS-485 bus, make
sure that switches 1 and 2 are OFF and terminate the bus with separate
terminators at both ends. This allows removing any transmitter without
blocking the bus operation.
