ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against
ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product
by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or
inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench. When this is not possible, ground yourself
to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. Ground yourself
with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord. When neither of the
above is possible, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis
with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.

Transmitters with LAN or WLAN Interface
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Transmitters with WLAN Interface
This equipment has been designed to operate with a 2 dBi half-wave
antenna. Antennas with a gain greater than 2 dBi are prohibited for use
with this device. The antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
This Class [B] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Chapter 2 ___________________________________________________________ Product Overview
Warmed Probe HMT337
Temperature difference between the probe and external environment can
cause a risk of condensation on the sensor. A wet probe cannot observe
the actual humidity in the ambient air. If the condensed water is
contaminated, the life span of the probe may shorten and calibration may
change.
HMT337 probe shall be used in applications where condensation can
occur due to high humidity and rapid humidity changes. The warmed
probe is heated continuously so that its temperature is always higher than
in environment. This prevents condensation on the probe. The power
consumption of the warmed probe is slightly higher than other probes.
Filter Options
There are several filter types for HMT330. All filters are 12 mm in
diameter with a female thread, and are compatible with all HMT330
probe models. The filters recommended for a probe type can be selected
on the corresponding HMT330 order form.
Fore more information, see section Spare Parts and Accessories on page
178
Catalytic VHP Filter
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) is a gaseous form of hydrogen
peroxide that is commonly used in decontamination and sterilization.
Hydrogen peroxide has relatively low saturation pressure which increases
the possibility of saturation when used in humid conditions. When
saturation conditions occur, liquid hydrogen peroxide will form on
surfaces in the decontaminated space.
Vaisala HUMICAP® sensor is compatible with direct VHP exposure
even at high concentrations and hundreds of VHP cycles up to saturation.
The long term performance is very good at concentrations higher than
typically used for sterilization. However, for the applications where full
saturation is possible, Vaisala recommends using the catalytic VHP filter
to protect the sensor and extend the calibration interval.
The catalytic filter is based on a generally known method where the H2O2
is split to H2O and O2. This reaction is produced by the catalyst layer that
has been applied to the filter. As the filter prevents the VHP from
reaching the humidity sensor, the sensor responds to humidity only. The
catalytic filter affects the reading approximately +1 %RH at 300 pmm
VHP, or +3 %RH at 900 ppm VHP (at 23 °C / 73.4 °F).
