2. Product Overview
2.1 Introduction to HMM170
Vaisala HUMICAPâ Humidity and Temperature Module HMM170 is an open frame OEM module
for integration into demanding environmental chambers and harsh conditions. The module
provides a digital RS-485/Modbus RTU output and three freely configurable analog output
channels. The module provides relative humidity, temperature, dew point, and other calculated
parameters.
HMM170 probe covers the full temperature range -70 ... +180 °C (-94 ... +356 °F) used in
climate chambers and the whole humidity range up to condensation. The small probe and
compact component board oer easy and flexible installation. The probe cable options (2, 5,
or 10 m (6.5, 16.4, or 32.8 ft)) oer excellent cost optimization and flexibility to any OEM
application. By ordering HMM170 with the appropriate sensor, you can use the module in
environments that are frequently sterilized with vaporized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or to
measure humidity in oil medium, for example, for transformer and engine monitoring
applications.
The latest general purpose HUMICAPâ R2 sensor has an improved corrosion resistance. The
sensor can tolerate typical chemicals, such as cleaning agents used in climate chambers. The
automatic sensor chemical purge function keeps the sensor clean from typical chemical fumes
and the additional probe warming function prevents condensation. In case HMM170 gets in
contact with water, the automatic heating rapidly dries the sensor to enable fast and accurate
humidity measurement.
HMM170 is easy to install and convenient to use. It provides both digital and analog outputs for
multiple needs. An integrated service port enables a quick and simple way to configure, check,
and calibrate the module with the help of a USB cable and Vaisala Insight software.
2.2
Basic Features and Options
• Three humidity sensor types:
• Vaisala HUMICAPâ R2C (general use)
• Vaisala HUMICAPâ 180VC (for H2O2 use)
• Vaisala HUMICAPâ 180L2 (for moisture in oil)
• Sensor purge provides superior chemical resistance
• Probe and sensor warming functions minimize condensation on probe
• Optional USB cable for easy connection to Vaisala Insight software for configuration,
diagnostics, and temporary online monitoring
2.3 Sensor Types
HMM170 is available with three dierent sensor types.

medium. It has good tolerance against chemicals and moderate
humidity durability.
The HUMICAPâ 180L2 sensor measures moisture in oil in terms
of the water activity (aw) and temperature (T). Water activity
indicates directly whether there is a risk of free water formation.
The measurement is also independent of oil type and age. In
addition to water activity, the HMM170 can output ppm, the
average mass concentration of water in oil.
The HUMICAPâ 180L2 sensor does not support probe heating or
chemical purge.
applications where the sensor is exposed to H2O2 (hydrogen
peroxide).
Catalytic HUMICAPâ 180VC sensor is a good choice when you
want to measure RH between bio-decontamination cycles and
you are not interested in saturation level of the air mixture during
the bio-decontamination phase. Catalytic layer protects the
sensor during the bio-decontamination phase. Catalytic layer
catalyzes H2O2 into water vapor and oxygen. Therefore, the
sensing polymer detects only water vapor and shows correct
Relative Humidity value.

2.5 Probe Head
Figure 1 HMM170 Probe Head Dimensions
HMM170 is designed for applications that involve constant high humidity or rapid changes in
humidity, such as drying and test chambers, combustion air, and other humidifiers and
meteorological measurements, where measurement performance and chemical tolerance are
essential.
• Temperature measurement range −70 ... +180 °C (−94 ... +356 °F)
• Operating temperature range for probe −70 ... +180 °C (−94 ... +356 °F)
• Probe and sensor warming functions minimize condensation on probe
• Vapor and pressure proof construction
• Stainless steel mesh filter standard in delivery
Probe Heating
HMM170 supports probe heating. Probe heating heats up not only the sensor, but the entire
probe head. When probe temperature is heated above dew point temperature, condensation
on the probe can be avoided while measuring the dew point temperature of the process.
Probe heating is normally disabled. If you select to enable probe heating, output parameters
that are dependent on temperature measurement (such as relative humidity) are disabled,
unless the true temperature of the measured environment is updated to the temperature
compensation register of the probe from another measurement instrument. Output
parameters that can be measured or calculated without this external temperature information
(such as dew point temperature) are available even without the temperature input.
2.6
Chemical Purge
Chemical purge is a 4-minute process where the sensors are heated to remove possible
contamination. The purge is essential for the long-term performance and accuracy of the
probe. During the purge, measurements are not available.
Depending on the selected sensor, the purge is automatically performed:
• At probe start-up
• At probe start-up and after every 24 hours
10
Page 13
Chapter 2 – Product Overview
The HUMICAPâ 180L2 sensor does not support chemical purge.
You can trigger a purge manually at any time with Vaisala Insight software or Modbus, or by
closing the external purge trigger on the component board.

3.2 Installing Probe
In humidity measurement and especially in calibration it is essential that temperature of the
probe and measuring environment is the same. Even a small dierence in temperature
between the environment and the probe causes an error. For example, if the temperature is
+20 °C (68 °F) and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a dierence of ±1 °C (±1.8 °F) between the
environment and the probe causes an error of ±6 %RH.
Figure 3 HMM170 Probe Installation
1. Select the mounting location for the probe.
• The probe should be entirely in the measurement environment, with sucient
distance to the outer walls of the chamber or duct. Air should flow freely around the
probe.
• The probe location should represent well the environmental or process conditions,
and it should be as clean as possible.
2. Mount the probe head horizontally to prevent any water condensing on the probe head
from running to the sensors.
3. Let the cable hang loosely to prevent condensed water from running along the cable to
the probe head.
4. Seal the cable pass-through using the Vaisala installation accessories.
If the temperature of the measured environment diers greatly from ambient
temperature, the whole probe and preferably plenty of cable must be inside the
process. This prevents measurement inaccuracy caused by heat conduction along
the cable.

5.3 Calibration and Adjustment
The module is fully calibrated and adjusted as shipped from the factory. To maintain the
accuracy of the measurement, calibrate and adjust the module as needed. Typical calibration
interval is one year, but depending on the application it may be necessary to check the
accuracy more frequently.
When adjustment is necessary, you can have Vaisala calibrate and adjust the module. To order
calibration services from Vaisala, visit store.vaisala.com. You can also do the adjustment
yourself using the Insight software.
WARNING!
has not been exposed to dangerous contamination, and is safe to handle
without special precautions.
If you think the device is not measuring correctly, calibration and adjustment is
not the first thing to do. Check the following first:
• Make sure nothing is interfering with the measurement: heat sources,
temperature dierences, or condensation.
• Check that there is no moisture on the probe. If the sensor has become wet,
wait for it to dry.
• Always wait for the measurement to stabilize.
Calibration means comparing the measurement output of the device to a known
reference, such as a known environment in a calibration chamber or the output of
a reference instrument. Correcting the reading of the device so that it measures
accurately is referred to as adjustment.
When returning a product for calibration or repair, make sure it

5.3.1 Adjustment Points and Requirements
You can adjust the humidity measurement in 1 ... 5 points, and temperature measurement in 1 ...
2 points. Note the following:
• Humidity adjustment in more than two points is available when using Insight software in
Advanced Mode.
• If you are adjusting in more than one humidity point, make sure the first two points are at
least 10 %RH apart.
• The module will reject adjustments that are too large, that is, greater than 10 %RH for
humidity and 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) for temperature. If the module appears to need such a large
correction, perform a sensor purge and repeat the adjustment procedure. Make sure the
measurement has stabilized and the reference environment is reliable. If the required
adjustment is still too large, the module needs to be serviced by Vaisala.
When adjustment of humidity measurement is necessary, Vaisala recommends
adjusting in two points, 11 %RH and 75 %RH. These humidities can be produced
using the Vaisala HMK15 Humidity Calibrator.
Adjustment of temperature measurement is typically not necessary.
5.3.2 Adjusting Measurement with Insight Software
• Computer with Windows operating system and Vaisala Insight software
installed
• Vaisala USB cable 219690 for connecting the module
• Reference environment(s) for producing the desired humidity and/or
temperature
This procedure can be used to adjust the module's humidity or temperature measurement. If
you want to adjust both, repeat the procedure.
Because stabilization of temperature and humidity takes time, you should expect the
adjustment procedure to take at least 30 minutes for each adjustment point.
1. Connect the module to Insight. See Connecting to Insight Software (page 16).
2. If you intend to adjust humidity measurement, first select
chemical purge to condition the sensor. Wait a few minutes for purge to complete.
3. Select > Calibrate > Yes to switch the module to calibration mode.
In calibration mode, the device will not use functions that may interfere with calibration
and adjustment.
4. Select the type of adjustment to perform: RH adjustment or T adjustment.

• Connection cable for MI70 Measurement Indicator (Vaisala item 219980SP)
• Reference environments for the desired calibration points
You can calibrate and adjust the HMM170 module in 1 or 2 points using the MI70 indicator. For a
2-point calibration, you need two reference environments. Note that when performing a 2point RH calibration, the first point requires a < 50% RH humidity reference, and the second
point must be > 50% RH. The dierence between the two humidity references must be at least
30% RH.
Using the MI70 indicator, you can also do the 1-point calibration so that you compare the
reading of the module to any MI70-compatible Vaisala device that provides the same
measurement parameter.
1. Connect the HMM170 to port I of the MI70 indicator using the handheld connection cable.
2. If you want to calibrate by comparing to the reading of a reference probe, connect it to
port II of the MI70 indicator.
3. Turn on the MI70 indicator.
4. Start the adjustment sequence from Main menu > Functions > Adjustments. If you have
another device connected, make sure to start the adjustment sequence for device I.

5. MI70 notifies you that automatic power o is disabled during adjustment mode. Select
OK to acknowledge.
6. Select RH or T parameter for adjustment and select OK. This procedure assumes you are
adjusting relative humidity, but the same principles apply for temperature adjustment.
7. Insert the probe to be calibrated in the reference environment. If you are calibrating
relative humidity using two reference environments, use the dry reference first. If you have
a reference probe, insert that in the same environment. If you are comparing against the
reading of a reference probe, you can also use the ambient condition as the reference
environment, as long as its conditions are stable.
8. Wait for the measurement to stabilize. You can follow the stabilization from the GRAPH
display. Select ADJUST when the reading is stabilized in the reference.
9. To perform the adjustment using one reference environment (1-point adjustment),
perform these steps:
a. Select 1-point adjustment > SELECT > OK.
b. When the measurement is stable, select READY.
c. Give the reference RH value by using the arrow buttons and select OK.
d. To confirm the adjustment, select YES. If you select NO, you return to the adjustment
mode display and no changes are made.
e. Continue from step 12.
10. To perform the adjustment using two reference environments (two-point adjustment),
perform these steps:
a. Select 2-point adjustment > SELECT > OK.
b. When the measurement is stable, select READY.
c. Give the reference RH value by using the arrow buttons and select OK.
d. Insert the probe to be calibrated in the second reference environment.
e. When the measurement is stable, select READY.
f. Give the reference RH value by using the arrow buttons and select OK.
g. To confirm the adjustment, select YES. If you select NO, you return to the adjustment
mode display and no changes are made.
h. Continue from step 12.
11. To perform the adjustment using a reference probe, perform these steps:
a. Select To same as RH[II].
b. To confirm the adjustment, select YES. If you select NO, you return to the adjustment
mode display and no changes are made.
12. Calibration and adjustment is now completed. Select BACK to exit the adjustment mode
and EXIT to return to the basic display.
13. Disconnect the module from the MI70 indicator.

A.3 Data Encoding
In the data registers, the numeric values are available in one or two formats with separate
register addresses: 32-bit IEEE floating point format and/or 16-bit signed integer format.
33
Page 36
HMM170 User GuideM212259EN-A
A.3.1 32-Bit Floating Point or Integer Format
Least significant 16 bits of floating point or integer numbers are placed at the smaller Modbus
address as specified in Open Modbus TCP Specification, Release 1.0. This is also known as
"little-endian" or "Modicon" word order. Floating point values are represented in standard IEEE
32-bit floating point format.
Despite the specification, some Modbus masters may expect "big-endian" word
order (most significant word first). In such case, you must select "word-swapped"
floating point format in your Modbus master for the Modbus registers of the
device.
A "quiet NaN" value is returned for unavailable values. A quiet NaN is, for example,
7FC00000
; however, the master should understand any NaN value.
hex
A complete 32-bit floating point or integer value should be read and written in a
single Modbus transaction.
A.3.2 16-Bit Integer Format
Some 16-bit integer values in the data registers are scaled to include the necessary decimals.
The scaling factors for those values are shown in the register tables.

Some values may exceed the signed 16-bit range even in normal operation. To
access such values, use the floating point registers instead.
A.4 Modbus Registers
CAUTION!
addresses in actual Modbus messages (Modbus Protocol Data Unit (PDU) are in
hexadecimal and start from zero. Subtract 1 from the register number presented
in this manual to get the address used in the Modbus message (for example,
register number 1 corresponds to address 0
34
Registers are numbered in decimal, starting from 1. Register
in the actual Modbus message).

Appendix A – Modbus Reference
Accessing unavailable (temporarily missing) measurement data does not generate an
exception. “Unavailable” value (a quiet NaN for floating point data or 8000
for integer data)
hex
is returned instead. An exception is generated only for any access outside the applicable
register ranges.
