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 computer.
- 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,
Technical Data, on page 78.

Figure 3 Opening the Transmitter
To open, use a screwdriver to push down the tab that holds the
transmitter cover and mounting base together. Pull the mounting base
away from the cover, starting from the top.
To close, connect the bottom of the transmitter first, and tilt the top
forward to close the tab. Do not push on the display. Closing the
transmitter starts it up if power is supplied to the screw terminals.

Decorative Cover Option
The decorative cover is an installation accessory for HMW90 and
GMW90 series transmitters that can be used to hide the transmitter from
view. The cover material is transparent polycarbonate, but the idea is to
customize it to match the wall the transmitter is on. There are two easy
ways to change the cover’s appearance:
- Paint the cover to the same color as the wall.
- Insert a piece of wallpaper under the lid.
You can also use the cover as a holder for printed material, for example
an informational sign.
You must remove the sliding cover of the transmitter to install the
decorative cover. Installation instructions are included with the cover.
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 20
- Relay Configuration in DIP Mode on page 21
- Configuring the settings in software through the service port. See
connection instructions and serial line commands in Chapter 4,
Operation, on page 34.
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. Before changing the
position of this switch, see section Changing Between DIP and Custom
Configuration on page 23.
The rotary switch only has 10 positions. Do not turn the switch so that it
is between two positions.
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.
Table 5 Rotary Switch and Relay Setpoint
NOTE
For examples of relay behavior in DIP mode, see Figure 8 and Figure 9
on page 22. 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 54.
There is a hysteresis around the setpoint value to prevent rapid relay
switching when the measured value moves around the setpoint. This
means that the relay will not close or open exactly at the setpoint, but
slightly above and below.
- On HMW93 the hysteresis is 2 %RH in both directions.
- On TMW93 the hysteresis is 1 °C (1.8 °F) in both directions.
If you change the position of DIP switch 8, note the following:
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.
When changing from Custom to DIP: Current custom settings are
overwritten by the settings from the DIP switches at next power up.
Display layout and analog outputs are set to default settings:
- Channel 2 output parameter RH, scaling 0 ... 100 %RH
(if humidity measurement is present on the transmitter).
If you have a factory customized transmitter, this may lead to a situation
where the wiring label on the mounting base does not reflect the outputs
of the transmitter. To return the transmitter to its factory customized
settings, follow the instructions in section Reverting to Factory Settings
on page 75.
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 24.
- 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 17.
- 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 34.
- Some configuration actions can be done using the BACnet and
Modbus protocols. See the following appendices for protocol
implementation details:
Selects 8 data bits, parity even, one stop bit
(8E1) for Modbus protocol.
Parity None
Selects 8 data bits, parity none, and two stop
bits (8N2) for Modbus protocol.

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 11 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.
NOTE
1111-070
Figure 12 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 81.
When bringing a cable through the wall, note that the hole may also
supply air from outside the room into the transmitter. This may affect the
measurement readings. Seal the cable opening if necessary.
Use the mounting holes to attach the mounting base securely. Use at least
two screws (not included). 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.

WARNING

Figure 13 Installing the Mounting Base
Connect the wiring to the screw terminals on the mounting base. The
supply voltage and terminal assignments are model-specific. Max wire
size 2 mm2 (AWG14). You can bring the cable to the housing from
above or from behind (recommended).
After completing the wiring, connect the transmitter body over the
mounting base. Note that mounting bases are model-specific.
