HMW60U/Y Transmitters
U302en-1.1 Operating Manual
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The HMW60 transmitters are wall mounted truly two-wire transmitters for the
measurement of humidity (HMW60U) and for the measurement of humidity
and temperature (HMW60Y).
The HMW60U/Y transmitters can be mounted directly on the wall. Thye are
easy to install and maintain. One point calibration is easily performed with the
HMI41 indicator and the calibration cable 19116ZZ.
Both transmitter types incorporate the HUMICAP®180 humidity sensor which
uses an operating principle based on changes in the capacitance of a thin
polymer film as it absorbs water molecules. The HMW60Y transmitters
mesure temperature with the reliable Pt 1000 sensor.
