2. Product overview
2.1 Introduction to HMT370EX series
Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series HMT370EX is the ideal
solution for measuring humidity in hazardous areas. Intrinsically safe and robust, HMT370EX
operates safely and reliably even in the most hazardous areas, such as Zone 0. The nextgeneration HMT370EX transmitter can be used as a replacement for the long-running HMT360
transmitter series in all HMT360 applications.
HMT370EX can be installed directly in explosive areas. It can withstand continuous exposure to
potentially explosive environments that contain flammable gases or dust, and requires no
additional protective enclosures for operation in either gas or dust environments.
HMT370EX oers several probe options for dierent applications. Thanks to the detachable
probe module, probes can be easily replaced and removed for calibration outside the
hazardous area without removing the entire transmitter.
The transmitter has 2 analog current output channels (4 – 20 mA) for connection via safety
barriers. For easy-to-use access to configuration, diagnostics, and calibration and adjustment
functionalities, the probe and transmitter body can be connected to Vaisala Insight PC
software for configuration either together as one unit or separately.

Filtering factor
If the measuring environment produces occasional exceptionally high or low readings that
need to be averaged out in the output, you can apply a filtering factor to the measurement
output. The filtering factor defines the speed at which the latest measurement is integrated
into the transmitter's output. For example, setting the filtering factor to 0.500 means that the
displayed output is a 50%+50% combination of the previous measurement and the most
recent measurement. To show the latest measurement directly in the output, set the filtering
factor to 1.000 (no filtering).
HMT370EX has 2 alternative filtering factor options: either a default filtering factor that uses a
13 second moving average (T90), or a custom filtering factor defined by the user.
The filtering factor can be configured using the local display interface or Vaisala Insight PC
software.
