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 to the equipment chassis before touching the boards. Ground yourself with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord. When neither of the above is possible, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the component contacts.

CHAPTER 2

PRODUCT OVERVIE W

This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and the product nomenclature of the Vaisala Combined Pressure, Humidity, and Temperature Transmitter PTU300.

Introduction to PTU300

The PTU300 transmitter provides reliable pressure measurement in a wide range of applications. PTU300 series transmitters use a BAROCAP® silicon capacitive absolute sensor developed by Vaisala for barometric pressure measurement applications. The measurement principle of the PTU300 series digital transmitters is based on an advanced RC oscillator and three reference capacitors against which the capacitive pressure sensor is continuously measured. The microprocessor of the transmitter performs compensation for pressure linearity and temperature dependence.
The applications of the PTU300 range from calibration laboratory environmental condition monitoring to laser interferometer active wavelength compensation and GPS meterorological measurements.
The PTU300 transmitter combines three measurement parameters: pressure, temperature and humidity. The quantities measured and calculated by PTU300 are presented in Table 4 on page 22. The quantities available as an option are presented in Table 5 on page 22.
Analog outputs can be chosen between current and voltage signals. Alternatively, digital outputs RS-232 (standard) or RS-422/485 (optional) can be selected. A local display is also available.
The PTU300 transmitter is available with one or two pressure transducers. The PTU301, PTU303 and PTU307 probes are available for the PTU300 transmitter. A PTU30T model with only the temperature probe (no humidity measurement) is also available.
In outdoor applications it is recommended to use the HMT330MIK mounting kit with the PTU300 transmitters.

Warmed Probe PTU307

Temperature difference between the probe and external environment can cause a risk of condensation on the sensor. A wet probe cannot observe the actual humidity in the ambient air. If the condensed water is contaminated, the life span of the probe may shorten and calibration may change.
PTU307 probe shall be used in applications where condensation can occur due to high humidity and rapid humidity changes. The warmed probe is heated continuously so that its temperature is always higher than that of the environment. This prevents condensation on the probe. The power consumption of the warmed probe is slightly higher than that of the other probes.
