Product Related Safety Precautions

The Series HMT360 Transmitter delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as shipped from the factory. Note the following precautions:
WARNING
Ground the product, and verify outdoor installation grounding periodically to minimize shock hazard.
CAUTION
Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product or lead to malfunction.

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 this is not possible, ground yourself with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. When neither of the above is possible, at least touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching the boards.

INSTALLATION
This chapter provides you with information that is intended to help you install this product.

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 GΩ) and make sure that it can not come loose in any operation situation.
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 19
Page 22
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
WARNING
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.

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.
0507-024
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.
20 __________________________________________________________________ M010056EN-G
Page 23
Chapter 3 _____________________________________________________ __________ Installation
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.
0507-022
Figure 4 Vertical Mounting of Probe
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 25.
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 short-term 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.
0507-036
Figure 5 Measurement Error at 100 %RH

Mounting the Transmitter Housing

WARNING
NOTE
The serial interface MUST NOT be used in hazardous areas.
Use the serial interface for calibration and testing purposes in safe areas only. Always use the serial interface cable (optional accessory, Vaisala order code: 25905ZZ). Connect one end of the cable to the serial port of your computer and the other to the connector marked "RS232C" on the electronics unit of the transmitter (see Figure 7 on page 24).
With serial communication the current consumption increases approximately to 7 mA and the transmitter is not able to operate with 4 mA. Therefore, it is recommended to use serial communication only temporarily for changing settings or for calibrating the transmitter in a safe area. With serial port, the minimum supply voltage is 15 VDC.
NOTE
50 __________________________________________________________________ M010056EN-G
The transmitter incorporates a serial interface detector. However, not all terminals or PC serial ports (for example, optoisolated or ports not meeting RS232C standards) recognize this standard. If the communication is not possible via a serial interface, use a forced activation by pressing simultaneously buttons Up and E on the transmitter cover. To deactivate the forced activation, press these buttons again or reset the transmitter. If the transmitter does not receive any commands for half an hour, it automatically closes the serial communication.

Chapter 5 __________________________________________________ Measuring at Overpressure
CHAPTER 5
MEASURING AT OVERPRESSURE
This chapter provides you with important information concerning measurement in conditions with pressure higher than the normal atmospheric pressure.
The probes HMP364 and HMP368 are designed for humidity measurement at overpressure. The maximum measurement pressures depend on the probe as follows:
HMP364: 0 ... 100 bar (10 MPa), for pressurized rooms and
processes, probe is provided with a nut, fitting screw and sealing washer
HMP368: 0 ... 40 bar (4 MPa), for pressurized pipelines, ball
valve set available
The accuracy of the dewpoint measurement is affected by pressure in the measurement chamber. The actual pressure in the sampling cell is required to be set to the transmitter by using the serial line command PRES (see section PRES Setting Ambient Pressure for Calculations on
page 56 or by using the keypad commands, see section Setting the Pressure for Calculations on page 46).
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 59
Page 62
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________

Pressure Regulator Recommended

When sampling pressurized processes exceeding the maximum measurement pressure of the probe, the pressure in the measurement chamber must be regulated to the acceptable level or below. It is recommended to use pressure regulator before the measurement chamber to prevent remarkable pressure variations.
