Introduction to the HMT140

The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Transmitter HMT140 measures relative humidity and temperature using the connected probe and analog signals – RTD, Voltage, Current Loops and Boolean Contacts. It is powered with three 3.6 volt DC batteries (or an optional 930VDC power supply), outputs data via wireless transmitter and comes with or without an optional LCD display.

The HMT140 transmitter supports several different signal measurements (channels), which are monitored in viewLinc:

• Relative Humidity (RH)

• Temperature (T)

•Switch Contact

• Voltage and Current. Channel types are set at the factory during time of order.

Other wireless parameters can be changed at a later date using an HMT140 Configuration Cable and HMT140 Utility software.

Models

The following HMT140 models and options are available:

• HMT141: Vaisala Humicap Humidity and Temp Probe

(RH/T)

• HMT143: Dual RTD Temperature Inputs w/5M Probes

(-90C to 90C)

• HMT144: Voltage Inputs (0-5 VDC)

• HMT145: Voltage inputs (0-10 VDC)

• HMT146: Current Inputs (0-20 mA)

• HMT147: Boolean Inputs

• HMT148: RTD Temperature Input w/5M Probe &

Fixed or Remote Probe

The HMT140 is available either with a fixed probe directly attached to the transmitter housing or a remote probe with different (3/5/10 m) cable lengths. Extension cables can be easily cascaded in order to obtain longer reach, to a maximum length of 10 m.

Interchangeable Probe

The HMP110 HUMICAP® relative humidity probe used in the HMT140 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).

M211488EN-C 9

Introduction to the HMT140

Note:

Only probes that have a compatible digital output (VDIGI mode) can be used with the HMT140 transmitter. Compatible probes have the letter "V" as the first letter in their order code. The order code is written on the probe.

Optional Display

The HMT140 is also available with an optional graphical 128x64 pixel 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 simultaneously as two separate rows on the display.

Transmitter Components

Figure 1 illustrates the main features of the HMT140. 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.

CHAPTER 3

INSTALLATION

This chapter provides the information you need to:

• Mount the HMT140 on a wall or duct

•Connect the HMT140 to your network

• Review optional mounting accessories

M21488EN-C 13

Mounting

Depending on your installation requirements, you may wish to complete the network configuration and setup prior to mounting (see, Chapter 4 Setup and Operation). Note that you can complete the configuration and setup procedures after mounting with a portable PC.

Note: To connect the HMT140 to your network

Wall Mounting

To mount the HMT140 on a wall:

Note: If mounting against a metal surface, be sure to

Open the HMT140 cover. Use your thumb to press and

hold the release tab located between the two glands (see Figure 9 on page 19), then pull the cover out and up with your other hand.

2 Make sure that the HMT140 is correctly aligned and

attach it directly to the wall with up to four screws (not included in the package).

and view HMT140 data using viewLinc, you require HMT140 Utility software and an HMT140 Configuration Cable (shipped with viewLinc).

keep a minimum of 2 mm between the metal and the back of the device to ensure an uninterrupted radio signal.

• Select the size and type of the fastening screws according to the wall material (for example, wood or stone). The diameter of the fastening screws is typically between 3.5 and 4 mm.

Mounting

Figure 2: Mounting Diagram

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use all four

screws; however, the HMT140 enclosure fastening holes are initially covered with a thin plastic membrane, so less than four screws could be also be used without sacrificing the ingress protection (IP) class of the enclosure.

Duct Installation

The duct installation kit includes a plastic pipe with a flange (Vaisala part#: 215619).

To install the HMP110 probe with the duct installation kit, drill a hole into 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.
