Introduction to HMW90 Series
The HMW90 series transmitters are wall-mount transmitters for building
automation applications. Transmitter models in the series share the
following common features:
- Detachable mounting base for easy installation and wiring.
- Display (visible or hidden behind the cover).
- Sliding cover for accessing maintenance functions.
- Adjustment trimmers.
- DIP switches for most common configuration tasks.
- RS-485 line for temporary service use with hand-held MI70 indicator
or PC.
- User exchangeable measurement module available as a spare part.
Table 3 below lists the most important differences between the HMW90
series transmitter models. For technical specifications, see Chapter 7,

This chapter provides you with information that is intended to help you
install the HMW90 series transmitters.
Configuration Before Installation
If you need to change the settings of the transmitter, it is best to do this
before it has been installed. Available configuration options are different
for analog output models (such as HMW93) and digital output models
(for example, HMW95).
Configuration of Analog Output Models
You can configure analog output models of HMW90 series transmitters
in two ways:
- Using the DIP switches (and rotary switch on the HMW93 and
TMW93) on the component board. See the following sections for
instuctions:
- DIP Switches of Analog Output Models on page 22
- Relay Configuration in DIP Mode on page 23
- Configuring the settings in software through the service port. See
connection instructions and serial line commands in Chapter 4,
Operation, on page 35.
These two configuration methods are mutually exclusive. If the DIP
switch configuration is used, software settings have no effect on settings
that are controlled by the DIP switches. DIP switch number 8 is the
master switch that controls which configuration method is used.

NOTE
DIP switch 2 does nothing on TMW92 and TMW93.
NOTE
If DIP switch 8 is set to Custom, the transmitter ignores all other DIP
switch settings. In custom mode the transmitter uses settings that are
configured in software using the service port.
The rotary switch only has 10 positions. Do not turn the switch so that it
is between two positions.
If you change the position of DIP switch 8, note the following:
- When changing from Custom to DIP: Current custom settings are
overwritten by the settings from the DIP switches at next power up.
Settings that do not have DIP switches remain unchanged, except for
display layout (DSEL command) that is set to default.
- When changing from DIP to Custom: The DIP settings that were
used when the power was last on are carried over to the custom
settings at next power up.
Relay Configuration in DIP Mode
NOTE
and TMW93 transmitters only.
When the transmitter is configured using DIP switches, the functioning
of the relay is configured by DIP switch 5 and the rotary switch on the
component board:
- DIP switch 5 determines if the relay is closed above or below the
setpoint.
- The position of the rotary switch determines the setpoint according to
the table below.

For examples of relay behavior in DIP mode, see Figure 7 and Figure 8
on page 24. Note also the following:
- Relay operation in DIP mode is linked to RH measurement on
HMW93, and to T measurement on TMW93.
- Relay contacts are open if the transmitter is in error state (an active
error is present).
- Relay contacts are open when transmitter is powered off.
If you need to configure the relay for some other parameter or need
additional configuration options, see section Relay Configuration in
Custom Mode on page 55.
There is a hysteresis around the setpoint
switching when the measured value moves around the setpoint. This
means that the relay will not close or open exactly at the setpoin

- On HMW93 the hysteresis is 2 %RH in both directions.
- On TMW93 the hysteresis is 1 °C (1.8 °F) in both directions.
Configuration of Digital Output Models
Digital output models of the HMW90 series have the following
configuration interfaces:
- DIP switches on the component board control operating protocol,
serial line settings, and transmitter MAC address. For instructions, see
DIP Switches of Digital Output Models on page 26.
- You can set a jumper for RS-485 line termination on the component
board (120 Ω resistor). For location of the jumper, see Figure 5 on
page 19.
- Other settings are configured in software. You can change most
configuration settings through the service port. For connection
instructions and serial line commands, see Chapter 4, Operation, on
page 35.
- Some configuration actions can be done using the BACnet and
Modbus protocols. See the following appendices for protocol
implementation details:

NOTE
If the serial line baud rate is set to Automatic, the transmitter attempts to
determine the baud rate of the traffic in the RS-485 network. The
transmitter cycles through all baud rate choices, listening for 10 seconds
at each rate. When it detects valid RS-485 traffic, it remains at the
detected baud rate until it is reset or power cycled.
Dip switches marked Address (Binary Weighting) set the MAC address
of the HMW90 series digital transmitter. The address is encoded in eight
bit binary form, with each numbered switch representing a single bit. For
example:
1209-009
Figure 10 Example of Transmitter Addressing
Addressing with BACnet Protocol
BACnet MS/TP MAC address range is 0 … 255. The transmitter is a
BACnet MS/TP master if address is below 128. Otherwise the transmitter
is a slave.
Addressing with Modbus Protocol
Transmitter is always a Modbus slave. MAC Address range for Modbus
slaves is 1 … 247.
The conditions at the location should represent well the area of interest.
Do not install the transmitter on the ceiling. Avoid placing the transmitter
near heat and moisture sources, close to the discharge of the supply air
ducts, and in direct sunlight.
CAUTION
1111-070
Figure 11 Selecting Transmitter Location
Use the mounting holes to attach the mounting base securely. Use at least
two screws (not included, max screw diameter 4 mm). Remember to
leave sufficient clearance below the transmitter to operate the slide. For
mounting dimensions, see section Dimensions in mm on page 86.
The arrow on the mounting base must point straight up after installation.
Proper orientation is important: air must flow through the vents on the
bottom and top.
When wiring the transmitter, make sure the electrical conduit or cable is
not supplying air from outside the room into the transmitter. Seal the
cable opening if necessary.

Wiring HMW92
You must connect the RH channel of the HMW92, even if you only want
to measure temperature. Connecting the T channel is optional.
Figure 12 Wiring HMW92
If you want to use a single power supply for the HMW92, you must
connect the positive terminals (+T and +RH) together.
Connecting a Common AC Power Supply
to Several Transmitters
If you are connecting a common 24 VAC power supply to several
transmitters, make sure to connect the same terminal to +Vs and –Vs on
all transmitters. This will avoid a short-circuit through the shared
common line at the controller; see Figure 19 below.
1112-026
Figure 19 Connecting a Common AC Power Supply (HMW93)
The RS-485 line of the transmitter is isolated from the power supply. A
separate ground reference terminal (GND) is provided for the RS-485
connection.
If you are using a shielded cable, you can use the Shld terminal to hold
the exposed part of the shield. Note that the Shld terminal is floating
(not electrically connected).

Connecting With an MI70 Indicator
When connecting using an MI70 indicator, use the connection cable for
HM70 hand-held meter (Vaisala order code 219980). The following
functionality is available when using the MI70:
- Standard MI70 functions such as viewing, logging, and graphs of
measurement results.
- Calibration and adjustment fuctions for the transmitter. For more
information, see section Adjustment Using an HM70 on page 70.
- Setting of the pressure compensation value for humidity measurement
(Environment menu in the MI70).
Connecting with a PC allows you to configure and troubleshoot your
transmitter using serial line commands. For a list of commands, see
section List of Serial Commands on page 41.
When connecting using a PC, use the Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order
code 219690) and a suitable terminal application:
- If you have not used the Vaisala USB cable before, install the driver
before attempting to use the cable. Refer to section Installing the
Driver for the USB Service Cable on page 38 for detailed instructions.
- For more information on using a terminal application, see section
Terminal Application Settings on page 39.
Installing the Driver for the USB Service Cable
Before taking the USB service cable into use, you must install the
provided USB driver on your PC. When installing the driver, you must
acknowledge any security prompts that may appear.
1. Check that the USB service cable is not connected. Disconnect the
cable if you have already connected it.
2. Insert the media that came with the cable, or download the latest
driver from www.vaisala.com.
3. Execute the USB driver installation program (setup.exe), and
accept the installation defaults. The installation of the driver may
take several minutes.
4. After the driver has been installed, connect the USB service cable
to a USB port on your PC. Windows will detect the new device,
and use the driver automatically.
5. The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Verify the
port number, and the status of the cable, using the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the
Windows Start menu.
Windows will recognize each individual cable as a different device, and
reserve a new COM port. Remember to use the correct port in the
settings of your terminal program.
There is no reason to uninstall the driver for normal use. However, if you
wish to remove the driver files and all Vaisala USB cable devices, you
can do so by uninstalling the entry for Vaisala USB Instrument Driver
from the Programs and Features menu in the Windows Control Panel.
In Windows XP and earlier Windows versions the menu is called Add or Remove Programs.
If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you select
an error message instead. If this happens, restart PuTTY and check the
settings.
Terminal Application Settings
The serial interface settings of the service port are presented in Table 6
below. The settings are fixed, and cannot be changed by the user.
Table 6 Serial Interface Settings
The steps below describe how to connect to the transmitter using the
PuTTY terminal application for Windows (available for download at
www.vaisala.com) and a USB serial interface cable:
1. Connect the USB serial interface cable between your PC and the
service port of the transmitter.
2. Start the PuTTY application.

Channel 2 now behaves like this:
- Clipping is now set to 10%, meaning the output is allowed to vary
between 0.6 ... 5.4 V. The channel will output the measurement for
-11 ... 61 °C, but range 1 ... 5 V remains scaled to show -5 ... 55 °C.
- Error limit is 20%, which means channel 2 will show the error state
(6 V) when the measured value is 20% outside the scaled output
range. With the settings above, this will happen if the measured
temperature is outside range -17 ... 67 °C.
- The output will never actually be between 5.4 and 6.0 V because of
clipping.

Serial Line Output Commands
Start Measurement Output
Use the R command to start the continuous outputting of measurement
values as an ASCII text string to the serial line. The format of the
measurement message is set with the FORM command.
R<cr>
Example (measurement message in default format):
>r
RH = 21.71 %RH T = 23.13 'C
RH = 21.72 %RH T = 23.12 'C
RH = 21.77 %RH T = 23.12 'C
RH = 21.77 %RH T = 23.12 'C
...
Outputting the results continues in intervals issued with the command
INTV. You can stop the output with the S command. Since the interface
is half-duplex, you must enter the commands when the transmitter is not
outputting.
Stop Measurement Output
You can stop the measurement output with the S command:
Use the SEND command to output a single measurement message.
SEND<cr>
Example:
>send
RH = 21.72 %RH T = 23.12 'C
Set Output Interval
Use the INTV command to change the output interval of the
automatically repeating measurement messages. The measurement
messages are repeated in the RUN mode, or after the R command has
been given.
INTV [n xxx]<cr>
The shortest output interval (with n = 0) outputs the measurement
messages as quickly as the transmitter produces them, without additional
delay.

Relay Configuration in Custom Mode
NOTE
Additional configuration options are available when relay functionality is
configured via software. The configuration is done using the RMODE
and RSEL commands. For examples, see section Relay Configuration
Examples on page 57.
Set Relay Mode
Use the RMODE command to show or set the relay activation mode.
The following sections describe the calibration and adjustment
commands of the HMW90 series. For general information on performing
calibration and adjustment on the serial line, see section Adjustment
Using a PC on page 71.
The 1-point humidity adjustment of the HMW90 series adjusts both
offset and gain, depending on the adjustment condition. In a dry
condition (for example, 11 %RH), offset is adjusted more than gain.
NOTE
NOTE
The 1-point humidity adjustment requires that the target condition is at
least 50% of the currently measured value. This prevents the user from
making excessive corrections that are very unlikely to be needed.
However, if you feel that you may have done an incorrect adjustment,
you can easily remove the adjustment using the CRH RESET command.
Adjust Humidity Measurement
Use the CRH command to perform a humidity adjustment of the relative
humidity (RH) measurement. You can do a 1-point or a 2-point
adjustment, or clear the adjustment information from the HTM10
module. Note that the factory adjustment will remain intact when user
adjustment is cleared.
The CRH command does nothing on the TMW92 and TMW93
transmitters.
x = The reference humidity condition (%RH) that the transmitter
should be showing.
where
LO = Adjustment point at the dry end (low RH).
HI = Adjustment point at the wet end (high RH). The difference
between the two points should be at least 30 %RH.
x = The reference humidity condition (%RH) that the transmitter
should be showing.
1-point Adjustment of RH Measurement
The 1-point adjustment adjusts both offset and gain depending on the
adjustment condition. The same type of adjustment is done when turning
the RH trimmer.
Place the transmitter in the reference condition and allow it to stabilize
before entering the adjustment.
CRH [ONE] [x]<cr>
Example:
>pass 9000
>crh one 11
OK
2-point Adjustment of RH Measurement
CRH [LO | HI] [x]<cr>
The 2-point correction is not applied immediately – you must use the
CRH SAVE command to store your adjustment to the HTM10 module.
If you have entered user adjustments using the CRH command but do not
wish to commit them, use the CRH CANCEL command.
CRH [SAVE | CANCEL]<cr>
Example (two point adjustment, low point 11 %RH and high point 75
%RH):
x = The reference temperature (in degrees Celsius) that the
transmitter should be showing.
Clear User Adjustment of RH Measurement
CRH [RESET]<cr>
Example:
>pass 9000

Adjust Temperature Measurement
Use the CT command to perform an adjustment of the temperature
measurement. You can do a 1-point adjustment or clear the adjustment
information from the HTM10 module. Note that the factory adjustment
will remain intact when user adjustment is cleared.
Show Current T Adjustment
CT<cr>
Example (showing default temperature offset):

1-point Adjustment of T Measurement
Place the transmitter in the reference condition and allow it to stabilize

Use the CTEXT command to store a text string that describes the
calibration and/or adjustment. To enter a text string with spaces, enclose
the string in quotation marks. Use the CDATE to store the date.

Testing Commands
Test Analog Outputs
Use the ATEST command to force the analog outputs to the given value.
Before using the ATEST command it is useful to give the AMODE
command to verify the output mode of the channels.
ATEST [channel value]<cr>
The value you set may not be achievable by the transmitter. Voltage
output can go as high as 12 V, and current output can go up to 25 mA.
Also, current output cannot go down to zero.
After testing the output, give the ATEST command with the channel
number to exit the test mode.

This chapter provides information that is needed in basic maintenance of
the HMW90 series.
Periodic Maintenance
Cleaning
The body of the transmitter can be cleaned by wiping with a moistened
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, or blow
pressurized air into the transmitter housing.
Do not attempt to clean contaminated HTM10 modules and HUMICAP®
sensors. Dirty modules should always be replaced with new calibrated
modules.
HMW90 series transmitters are fully calibrated as shipped from factory.
Calibration and adjustment services are available through Vaisala Service
Centers. For contact information, see www.vaisala.com/servicecenters.
HMW90 series transmitters have a display that makes it easy to compare
the measured readings against any portable calibration reference. Note
that depending on the ordered configuration, the display may be hidden
under the sliding cover.
For adjustment of the measurement, you have the following options:
- 1-point adjustment using the trimmers under the sliding cover. See
section Adjustment Using Display and Trimmers on page 69.
- 1-point or 2-point adjustment using the service port. See the following
sections:
- Adjustment Using an HM70 on page 70.
NOTE
- Adjustment Using a PC on page 71.
- Replacement of the Humidity and Temperature Module HTM10,
which can be ordered as a spare part. See section Replacing the
Measurement Module on page 72.
The adjustment of temperature measurement is always a simple 1-point
offset correction.
The 1-point humidity adjustment of the HMW90 series adjusts both
offset and gain, depending on the adjustment condition. In a dry
condition (for example, 11 %RH), offset is adjusted more than gain.
The 1-point humidity adjustment requires that the target condition is at
least 50% of the currently measured value. This prevents the user from
making excessive corrections that are very unlikely to be needed.
However, if you feel that you may have done an incorrect adjustment,
you can easily remove the adjustment using the HM70 or the
CRH RESET command on the serial line.
The trimmers only turn 135 degrees each way, less than half a rotation.
Do not force the trimmer past the stopping point.

Select:
- To same as reference: Adjusts the measurement of the HMW90
transmitter to the same reading as the reference that is connected
to the other port. When the parameter being adjusted is RH, both
offset and gain are adjusted, depending on the adjustment
condition (same as when turning the RH trimmer). This option is
not available if no reference is connected to the HM70.
- 1-point adjustment: Adjusts the measurement of the HMW90
to a reference value that you specify. When the parameter being
adjusted is RH, both offset and gain are adjusted, depending on
the adjustment condition (same as when turning the RH
trimmer). Follow the instructions from the HM70 when using
this option.
- 2-point adjustment: Adjusts the measurement of the HMW90
at two points to reference values that you specify. This option is
not available when adjusting temperature (T).
- Revert factory calib.: This option removes the currently
applied user adjustment from the HTM10 module. Only the
adjustment for the selected parameter is removed (RH or T).
8. Complete the selected adjustment by following the instructions
from the HM70.

Repair Maintenance
Replacing the Measurement Module
If you cannot restore the measurement accuracy of the transmitter by
calibration and adjustment, you can replace the measurement module
inside the transmitter. The measurement module is the small separate
component board that is connected to the bottom of the component
board; see Figure 4 on page 18.
NOTE
CAUTION
1203-034
Figure 30 HTM10 and TM10 Modules
Replace the module in your transmitter with the same type as used
originally. Replacing a TM10 module with a HTM10 module does not
turn a TMW transmitter (temperature only) into a HMW type (humidity
and temperature) transmitter.
User calibration settings (adjustment by trimmers or service port) are
stored in the module. If you replace the module, you do not need to undo
the previously applied correction.
Handle the HTM10 module carefully. When reinstalling the transmitter
body to the mounting base, avoid touching the module or the
HUMICAP® sensor.
1. Disconnect the transmitter body from the mounting base.
2. With your fingers, push apart the two plastic holders that hold the
module. Pull out the module. Keep the module straight while
pulling it out, otherwise the pins may twist in the connector and
damage it.
1112-028
Figure 31 Replacing the HTM10 Module (HMW93)
3. Take the new module and align the pins to the connector on the
transmitter’s component board.
4. Push down on the module so that the plastic holders clip into place.
Try not to tilt the module, so that the pins will meet the connector
straight on.
5. Reconnect the transmitter to the mounting base.
6. Verify that there are no errors when the transmitter starts up. If you
see the errors HTM10 01 or HTM10 02 on the screen, it is likely
that the module is not seated properly in the connector. In that case,
disconnect the transmitter body and try again.
module. Reconnect the module and check that it sits
firmly in place.
1. Check the module for damage.
2. Check if the humidity sensor is missing or loose. Note
that the humidity sensor is not included on TMW-type
transmitters since they only measure temperature.
3. Replace the module if unable to remove the problem.
1. Reset the transmitter.
2. Restore the factory settings using service port or DIP
switches if reset does not help.
Error Messages on the Serial Line
View Currently Active Errors
Use the ERRS command to view currently active errors on the serial
line:
Use the ERRT command to view the table of possible transmitter errors.
The table includes error ID, error count since last reset, level, current
state, and error text. Most of the errors can be seen also on the display
(see Table 12 on page 76) but there are some that can only be viewed on
the serial line.
module. Reconnect the module and check that it sits firmly in place.
1. Check for damage or missing humidity sensor. Note that the
humidity sensor is not included on TMW-type transmitters since
they only measure temperature.
2. Replace the module if unable to remove the problem.
1. Reset the transmitter.
2. Restore the factory settings using service port or DIP switches
if reset does not help.
If there are any active “critical” or “error” level errors active in the
transmitter, both analog outputs are set into a defined error level instead
of the measured result. The error level depends on the output type:
- For 0 ... 5 V output, the default error level is 5.5 V
- For 0 ... 10 V output, the default error level is 11 V
- For 4 ... 20 mA output, the default error level is 3.6 mA
If all “critical” and “error” level errors are turned off (by removing their
cause), transmitter resumes normal operation of analog outputs.
You can configure the error level using the AMODE command. See
section Set Analog Output Mode on page 47.
NOTE
You can also use the AOVER command to configure a channel to go to
the error level if the measured parameter is sufficiently far out of the
measured range. See section Set Output Clipping and Error Limit on
page 49.
