This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and the product
nomenclature of the Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature
Transmitter Series HMT330.
Introduction to HMT330
The HMT330 transmitter provides reliable humidity measurement in a
wide range of applications. Analog outputs can be chosen between
current and voltage signals. Alternatively, digital outputs RS-232
(standard) or RS-422/485 (optional) can be selected.
The quantities measured and calculated by HMT330 are presented in
Table 3 below. The quantities available as an option are presented in
Table 4 below.
The HMT331 is intended for demanding wall-mounted applications. The
standard version has a fixed probe.
1102-025
Figure 3 HMT331 Fixed Pro be
The HMT331 short cable probe is a special version for use with the
WLAN module and when LAN module and power supply module are
simultaneously installed. It has the HMT333 probe on a short cable
(21 cm), and a mounting plate with a probe holder.
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).

6. Mount the lower part (item 5) on the housing.
7. Push the seal with the contact socket of the gland (item 2+3)
into the lower part (item 5).
8. Attach the domed cap nut (item 1) onto the lower part (item 5).
Grounding the Transmitter Housing
In case you need to ground the transmitter housing, the grounding
connector is found inside the housing; see Figure 2 on page 22. Note that
the probe is connected to the same potential as the housing. Make sure
that different groundings are made to the same potential. Otherwise
harmful ground currents may be generated.
If it is needed to have galvanic isolation of the power supply line from
the output signals, the HMT330 can be ordered with an optional galvanic
isolation module. This module prevents harmful grounding loops.
When connecting the transmitter with 8-pin connector, see section

In humidity measurement and especially in calibration it is essential that
temperature of the probe and measuring environment is the same. Even a
small difference in temperature between the environment and the probe
causes an error. As the curve below shows, if the temperature is +20 °C
and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a difference of ±1 °C between the
environment and the probe causes an error of ±6 %RH.
The graph below illustrates the measurement error at 100 %RH when the
difference between the ambient and sensor temperature is 1 °C.
4 = Let the cable hang loosely. This prevents condensed water
running to the sensor along the cable.
Please do not attach a heated probe (HMT337) to metal structures to
avoid condensation problems caused by heat conduction along the metal.
When there is no alternative but to install the probe in the process
vertically, the point of entry must be carefully insulated. The cable must
also be allowed to hang loosely as this prevents any condensed water
from running onto the probe along the cable.
0507-022
NOTE
Figure 24 Vertical Mounting of Probe
If the process temperature is much higher than that of the environment,
the whole probe and preferably plenty of cable must be inside the
process. This prevents measuring inaccuracy caused by heat conduction
along the cable.
When mounted on the side of a duct or channel, the probe must be
inserted from the side of the duct. If this is not possible and the probe
must be inserted from the top, the point of entry must be carefully
insulated.
For Vaisala probe installation kits and some installation examples, see
Appendix A on page 185.
The HMT333 is a small size (ø = 12mm) general-purpose probe suitable
for ducts and channels with the installation kit available from Vaisala.
The HMT333 provides for two measuring range options. The first probe
version is equipped with a flexible cable and can be used when
measuring in environments up to 80 ºC. The second version is suitable
for measuring in environments up to 120 ºC.
See Appendix A on page 185 for the following probe installation kits for
HMT333 and installation examples.
- Duct mounting kit
- Cable gland
HMT334 for High Pressure and Vacuum
Applications
The HMT334 probe is for the dewpoint measurements in pressurized
rooms and industrial processes. The probe is provided with a nut, a fitting
screw and a sealing washer. Keep the fitting screw and the nut in place
on the body of the probe during handling to prevent damage to the highly
polished surface of the probe. Follow the instructions below to achieve a
leak-tight assembly:
1. Remove the fitting screw from the nut and the probe.
2. Attach the fitting screw to the chamber wall with a sealing washer.
Tighten the fitting screw into the threaded sleeve with a torque
wrench. The tightening torque is 150 ± 10 Nm (110 ± 7 ft-lbs).
3. Insert the body of the probe into the fitting screw and attach the nut
manually to the fitting screw so that the connection feels tight.
5. Tighten the nut a further 30º (1/12) turn or if you have a torque
wrench tighten it with a torque of 80 ± 10 Nm (60 ± 7 ft-lbs).
0503-034

HMT335 for High Temperatures
HMT335 is installed similarly as the HMT333 probe but without the
supporting bar. Refer to Appendix A on page 185 for more information
on the duct installation kit for HMT335.
To avoid incorrect humidity readings, the temperature differences
between inside and outside of the duct must not be remarkable.
The HMT337 is designed for environments where relative humidity is
very high, near saturation. The warmed probe prevents the saturation of
the sensor. An additional temperature probe is also available.
See Appendix A on page 185 for a presentation of the following probe
installation kits for HMT337 with installation examples:
- Duct mounting kit
- Cable gland
- Pressure tight Swagelok connector
- Vaisala's Meteorological Installation Kit
The installation kits are available for both humidity and temperature
probe.
Temperature Probe (Opti ona l)
An additional temperature probe is available to measure the ambient
temperature when the HMT337 (with probe warming) is used. The
additional temperature probe allows you to measure other humidity
quantities apart from dewpoint and mixing ratio. The temperature probe
must be connected to the transmitter at the factory. Do not cut and reconnect the cable yourself.
You must install the additional temperature probe in the same
measurement environment as the HMT337 probe. Make sure that heat
does not transfer from the warmed probe to the temperature probe. For an
example installation, refer to section Example of Installation Through
Roof on page 191.
HMT338 for Pressuri zed Pipelines
Due to the sliding fit the HMT338 is easy to install into and remove from
the pressurized process. The probe is especially suitable for the
measurements in pipelines. See section Ball Valve Installation Kit for
HMT338 on page 192.
Take care not to damage the probe body. A damaged body makes the
probe less tight and may prevent it from going through the clasp nut.
In pressurized processes it is essential to tighten the supporting nuts and
screws very carefully to
pressure.
Take care not to over tighten the clasp nut to avoid difficulties when
opening it.
Tightening the Clasp Nut
1. Adjust the probe to a suitable depth according to the type of
installation.
2. Tighten the clasp nut first manually.
3. Mark the fitting screw and the clasp nut.
4. Tighten the nut a further 50 -60º (ca. 1/6 turn) with a wrench. If
you have suitable torque wrench, tighten the nut to max 45 ± 5 Nm
(33 ± 4 ft-lbs).

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).
NOTE
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.

LAN Interface
The optional LAN interface enables an Ethernet connection to the
transmitter. The user can establish a virtual terminal session using a
Telnet client program such as PuTTY or by using Modbus TCP protocol.
When the LAN interface is in use, serial communication using the RS232 User Port is disabled.
The LAN interface module must be installed at the factory (when
ordering the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Once installed,
the module is automatically used by the transmitter. The physical
connection to the network is made to the RJ45 connector on the LAN
interface module, using a standard twisted pair Ethernet cable
(10/100Base-T). Transmitters with the optional LAN interface are
delivered pre-installed with a suitable cable and cable gland.
The LAN interface can use both static and dynamic network settings. If
the interface is configured to use dynamic settings, the network where the
LAN interface is connected must have a DHCP server that provides the
settings.
CAUTION
The network configuration can be done using the optional display and
keypad, or by using the service port. For instructions, see section LAN
Communication on page 82. The LAN interface also provides a web
configuration interf ace , whi ch you can acc ess b y entering the IP address
of the LAN interface in the address field of a web browser. See section
Web Configuration for LAN and WLAN on page 89.
The LAN interface is designed to be used in trusted network
environments (trusted corporate LAN or VPN-based connection over
internet). Avoid connecting the transmitter directly to a public network
because the device can be attacked by a malicious user through the
network.

WLAN Interface
The optional WLAN interface enables a wireless Ethernet connection
(IEEE 802.11b) to the transmitter. The user can establish a virtual
terminal session using a Telnet client program such as PuTTY or by
using Modbus TCP protocol. When the WLAN interface is in use, serial
communication using the RS-232 User Port is disabled.
The interface supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA, WPA2). For WEP, 64 and 128 bit encryption is
supported, with open system or shared key authentication. WPA is used
in the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode, with either TKIP or CCMP (also
known as AES) encryption.
Similarly to the LAN interface, the WLAN interface can use both static
and dynamic network settings. If the interface is configured to use
dynamic settings, the network where the WLAN interface is connected
must have a DHCP server that provides the settings.
The WLAN interface also provides a web configuration interface, which
you can access by entering the IP address of the WLAN interface in the
address field of a web browser. See section Web Configuration for LAN
and WLAN on page 89.

Attaching the WLAN Antenna
The WLAN interface module must be installed at the factory (when
ordering the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Before taking
the transmitter into use, you must attach the antenna of the WLAN
interface into the RP-SMA connector on the transmitter cover. The
location of the antenna is shown in Figure 83 on page 181.
Data Logger Module
The optional data logger module extends the data storage for the
measurement data. When the data logger is present, this storage is
automatically used by the transmitter. The stored data can be browsed
using the optional display module, and accessed through the serial
connections. See sections Graphic History on page 68 and Data
Recording on page 116.
The data logger module contains non-volatile flash memory providing
4years and 5 months of storage for 4 parameters at a 10-second sampling
interval. When the memory is full, the data recording will not stop.
Instead, the oldest data is overwritten. For each parameter and
observation period, the module stores the minimum and maximum values
during the interval, as well a data trend value that is averaged from
samples taken during the interval (see Table 9 on page 64).
Table 9 Observation Periods and Resolution
The quantities that are logged are the same that have been selected for
measurement using the display/keypad or the serial line. When taking the
transmitter into use, verify that the desired quantities are selected. If you
change the quantities later, the transmitter will start logging the new
quantities, and stop logging the quantities that are no longer selected.
Changing the quantities does not delete any measurement data that is
already in memory. However, the data of any removed quantity cannot be
accessed unless the quantity is re-activated first.
The data logger module has a real time clock with a battery back-up. The
clock has been set to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) at the
factory, and its time cannot be set by the user. The data that is stored in
the logger's memory is timestamped using the logger's clock.
When date and time are set on the transmitter, they are stored to the
transmitter's memory as an offset from the time on the logger's clock.
When browsing the stored data, the time offset is applied to the
timestamps shown in the graphical history, and data outputted from the
serial port. The timestamps in the data logger's memory remain as they
were originally stored.
You can compensate for the clock drift (less than ±2 min/year) by setting
the time on the transmitter. This updates the time offset used on the
display and the serial port. You can set the time by using the
keypad/display or the serial commands.

Figure 41 Data Logger Module
After a reset or a power up, it will usually take at least 10 seconds before
the data logger module is initialized. The instrument will not start up
before the data logger module is ready.
The indicator LED on the module will blink green during normal
operation. If the LED is lit in red color, there is a problem with the
module. The transmitter will also indicate the problem by activating the
"Internal error on add-on module" error. If the module is not operating
correctly, the transmitter must be sent to Vaisala for maintenance.
The data logger module must be installed at the factory (when ordering
the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Once installed, the
module is automatically used by the transmitter. When the module
requires a new battery, the transmitter must be sent to Vaisala for
maintenance.
This chapter contains information that is needed to operate this product.
Getting Started
Within a few seconds after power-up the LED on the cover of the
transmitter is lit continuously indicating normal operation. If the data

Configuring Display Alarms
The Display Alarm feature provides two independently configurable
alarms for transmitters with the display/keypad option. Each alarm tracks
a selected quantity, with freely configurable limit values. Each alarm also
has a configurable hysteresis value to prevent unnecessary triggering
when the measurement fluctuates around an alarm limit. The alarms can
be configured for any quantity supported by the transmitter. The
configuration of the Display Alarms can only be done using the
display/keypad option.
You can have the alarm activate inside or outside the specified range by
setting the limits correctly:
- To have the alarm activate when the measured quantity is outside the
specified range, set the Act. above limit higher than the Act. below
limit.
- To have the alarm activate when the measured quantity is inside the
range, set the Act. above limit lower than the Act. below limit.
The alarm limits are shown on the graph display as thicker dotted lines.
When a display alarm is activated, the automatic scaling of the graph
display always keeps the limits in view.
When an alarm is activated, an alarm note is displayed on the display,
and the lights of the display will blink. If the data logger module is
installed, the alarm note includes the time and date of the alarm.

MI70 Link Program for Data Handling
MI70 Link is a support program that enables you to handle the
measurement data of your Vaisala transmitter using a Windows PC.
Using the MI70 Link you can, for example:
- Monitor the transmitter’s measurement readings directly using the
real-time window function.
- Transfer recorded data from the main transmitter memory in numeric
or graphical format, for further use in a spreadsheet program (such as
Microsoft Excel) or virtually any other application. Note that the
maximum amount of data points that can be downloaded in one
transfer is 65000.
To use the MI70 Link program, you must connect your Windows PC to
the service port of the transmitter with a serial or USB cable. The MI70
Link program, and the optional connection cables, are available from
Vaisala. See section Spare Parts and Accessories on page 178.

The LAN and WLAN interfaces both have a web configuration page that
is accessible using a browser. If you have not disabled the page from the
network settings, you can access it with a web browser at the IP address
of the interface. You can check the currently assigned IP address of the
interface from the device information screens (see Device Information on
page 108), or from the serial line by issuing the net ? command.
When accessing the web configuration page, you must first log in.
Username: user
Password: vaisala
The web configuration page provides similar network configuration
options as the serial line and the display/keypad. It also has additional
options for advanced users. For example, there are more options for
securing the wireless network.
If these additional options are used, they will appear as custom
configurations when viewed from the serial line or the display/keypad.
The instructions below describe how to connect to the HMT330 using the
PuTTY terminal application for Windows. Perform the necessary cabling
and configuration of the transmitter before following the instructions.
PuTTY is available for download at www.vaisala.com.
PuTTY cannot be used to access the transmitter through the User Port if
the transmitter is configured to use the Modbus protocol. However, you
can always use PuTTY to access the transmitter through the Service Port.
Opening a Serial/USB connection
1. Power up the HMT330 and start the PuTTY application.
2. Select the Serial & USB settings category, and check that the
correct COM port is selected in the Serial or USB line to connect to field. Change the port if necessary.
If you are using a Vaisala USB cable, you can check the port that it
uses by clicking the USB Finder... button. This opens the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed along with
the USB drivers.
3. Check that the other serial/USB line settings are correct for your
connection, and change if necessary. The default settings (shown in
Figure 59 on page 91) are used by the Service Port of the HMT330.
The instructions below assume that the LAN/WLAN interface on the
transmitter is correctly configured and the network connection is already
done.

4. Click the Open button to open the connection window and start
using the serial line.
If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you selected, it will show
you an error message instead. If this happens, restart PuTTY and
check the settings.
Opening a Telnet session (LAN/WLAN)
1. Power up the instrument and start the PuTTY application. If your
transmitter acquires a network address using DHCP, wait for a
minute for this to complete, then verify the address from the
transmitter.
2. In the Session window, select the Telnet connection type.
3. Enter the IP address of your transmitter in the Host Name (or IP
4. Click the Open button to open the connection window and start
using the Telnet session.
If PuTTY is unable to connect the IP address you entered, it will
show you an error message instead. If this happens, check the
IP address and the connections, restart PuTTY, and try again.

List of Serial Commands
All commands can be issued either in uppercase or lowercase. In the
command examples, the keyboard input by the user is in bold type.
The notation <cr> refers to pressing the carriage return (Enter) key on
your computer keyboard. Enter a <cr> to clear the command buffer
before starting to enter commands.
In the tables below, the bold text in the brackets is the default setting.
Set the value for pressure compensations,
temporarily
Table 26 Other Commands
Getting Measurement Message from Serial Line
Starting Continuous Out put t ing
Use the R command to start the continuous output of measurements.
R<cr>
The default output format depends on the quantities your transmitter
supports. You can change the output message format and interval with
the FORM and INTV commands. See sections FORM on page 101 and
INTV on page 115.
If a value is too long to fit to the allocated space in the output, or if there
is an error in outputting the quantity, the value is displayed with stars ‘*’.
Use the S command to end the RUN mode. After this command all other
commands can be used. You can also press the Esc button or reset the
transmitter to stop the outputting.
S<cr>
See command SMODE to change the default (power-up) operation
mode.
Outputting Reading Once
Use the SEND command to output the reading once in STOP mode.
SEND<cr>
The total execution time of the
of the serial
amount of time for devices with large address number to
delay will be the same even if there are no other devices at all.

Outputting Reading Once Fr om All Trans m it t e rs
Use the DSEND command to output the reading once from all connected
transmitters that are in STOP or POLL modes. In order to avoid data
collisions, the transmitters will send their response after a suitable delay.
The response includes the transmitters’s address, followed by their
measurement message.

Example (transmitters with addresses 3 and 25 responding):
When all transmitters on the RS-485 bus are in POLL mode the OPEN
command sets one transmitter temporarily to STOP mode so that other
commands can be entered.

CLOSE
The CLOSE command switches the transmitter back to the POLL mode.
Example:
>OPEN 2 (opens the line to transmitter 2, other
transmitters stay in POLL mode)
>CRH (for example, calibration performed)

>CLOSE (line closed)
Instead of using the FTIME, FDATE and FST commands described in
this section, you can use the FORM command with modifiers TIME,
DATE, and STAT. See section FORM on page 101.
FTIME and FDATE
FTIME and FDATE commands will enable/disable output of time and
date to the serial line. To add time to R and SEND outputs enter:
