ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench.
- When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.
- If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching ESD sensitive components.
- Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the component contacts.

INSTALLATION

General Installation Instructions

Mounting the Probe Cable in Gas Group IIC Spaces

NOTE
The following applies only to installation within the EU! The following instructions shall be followed to fulfil the specifications of
the EN50284 for nonconductive layer of the probe cable:
- Never mount or handle the probe cable when hazardous gases are present.
- For achieving a conductive shield, cover the probe cable with conductive material like metal or conductive tape or mount the probe cable in a metal conduit.
- Assure that the conductive shield fulfils requirements of the standard EN50284 (resistance less than 1 G) and make sure that it can not come loose in any operation situation.
WARNING
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 19
During the installation work of the probes in gas group IIC areas (requiring category I devices), it has to be guaranteed that even in fault cases sparks generated by impacts or friction on the surface of the housing can never occur.
User’s Guide______________________________________________________________________

Selecting Location

Select a place with stable conditions for mounting the transmitter. Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight or rain. A rain shield is available and it is recommended for direct outdoor installations. When mounting the probe, select a place representing the process conditions.

General Instructions for Probes with Cable

Mount the probes with a cable horizontally; this way, any water condensing on the tube cannot flow onto the sensor.

Figure 3 Horizontal Mounting of Probe
The following numbers refer to Figure 3 on page 20: 1 = To be sealed 2 = To be insulated 3 = Insulate the cable 4 = Let the cable hang loosely. This prevents condensed water
running to the sensor along the cable.
When there is no alternative but to install the probe in the process vertically, the point of entry must be carefully insulated. The cable must also be allowed to hang loosely as this prevents any condensed water from running onto the probe along the cable.

The following numbers refer to Figure 4 on page 21: 1 = To be sealed 2 = Insulate the cable 3 = To be insulated 4 = Let the cable hang loosely. This prevents condensed water
running to the sensor along the cable
If the process temperature is much higher than that of the environment, the whole probe and preferably plenty of cable must be inside the process. This prevents measuring inaccuracy caused by heat conduction along the cable.
When mounted on the side of a duct or channel, the probe must be inserted from the side of the duct. If this is not possible and the probe must be inserted from the top, the point of entry must be carefully insulated.
For Vaisala probe installation kits and some installation examples see section Probe Mounting on page 24.
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 21
User’s Guide______________________________________________________________________

Checking the Temperature Reading

The actual temperature of the process can be measured with a reference instrument to be compared with the transmitter reading. The heat transfer is less evident if you remove the protective filter of the sensor for a short­term test. However, never use the sensor long periods without the filter as this may cause a faster contamination of the sensor. The transmitter fulfils the specified EMC regulations with the protective filter on the probe.
In humidity measurement and especially in calibration and adjustment it is essential that temperature of the probe and measuring environment is the same. Even a small difference in temperature between the environment and the probe causes an error. As the curve below shows, if the temperature is +20 °C and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a difference of ±1 °C between the environment and the probe causes an error of ±6 %RH.
The graph below illustrates the measurement error at 100 %RH when the difference between the ambient and sensor temperature is 1 °C.

Mounting the Transmitter Housing

1. Attach the mounting plate to the wall with 4 screws.
2. Press down the transmitter so that it slides along the rails of the
mounting plate.
3. Fasten the transmitter to the mounting plate with the Allen screw
(3 mm Allen key provided).
The probe can be detached and replaced when needed by simply unfastening the two Allen screws.

Probe Mounting

CAUTION
Do not unsolder and then resolder the probe cable from and to the printed board during installation.
Do not shorten or lengthen the probe cable. These procedures may alter the humidity calibration of the transmitter.

HMP363 for Confined Spaces

The HMP363 is a small size (ø = 12mm) general-purpose probe suitable for ducts and channels with the installation kit available from Vaisala.
The HMP363 provides for two measuring range options. The first probe version is equipped with a flexible cable and can be used when measuring in environments up to 80 ºC. The second version is suitable for measuring in environments up to 120 ºC.
Section HMP363/365/367 Duct Installation Kit on page 25 shows mounting of HMP363/367 with the optional duct installation kit.

HMP364 for High-Pressure Applications

The probe is provided with a nut, a fitting screw and a sealing washer. Keep the fitting screw and the nut in place on the body of the probe during handling to prevent damage to the highly polished surface of the probe. Follow the instructions below to achieve a leak-tight assembly.
CAUTION
NOTE
In pressurized processes it is essential to tighten the supporting nuts and screws very carefully to prevent loosening of the probe by the action of pressure.
1. Remove the fitting screw from the nut and the probe.
2. Fasten the fitting screw to the chamber wall with a sealing washer.
Tighten the fitting screw into the threaded sleeve with a torque spanner. The tightening torque is 150 ± 10 Nm (110 ± 7 ft-lbs).
3. Insert the body of the probe into the fitting screw and tighten the nut
manually to the fitting screw.
4. Mark both the fitting screw and the nut hex.
5. Tighten the nut a further 30º (1/12) turn or if you have a torque
spanner tighten it with a torque of 80 ± 10 Nm (60 ± 7 ft-lbs).
6. Clean and grease the tightening cone of the fitting screw after every
tenth detachment. Change the sealing washer every time the fitting screw is detached. Use high-vacuum grease, for example Dow Corning, or a similar grease.
When retightening the nut after detachment the nut must be tightened without increased effort.
