Chapter 2 – Product overview
2. Product overview
HMP series probes are humidity and temperature measurement probes with a digital output
(Modbus protocol). The probes are designed for demanding humidity and temperature
measurement applications. The probes have a two-part structure, with measurement
electronics contained in the probe body and sensor(s) in the probe head. The probe body and
the probe head are connected by a cable. Length options for this connecting cable depend on
the probe model.
The probes are compatible with Vaisala Indigo transmitters. They can also be connected to
Vaisala Insight software for configuration, calibration, adjustment, diagnostics, and temporary
online monitoring.

3. Installation
When you choose the installation location for the probe, consider the following:
• Verify the operating environment specification of the probe model. The probe head
typically has a much wider operating temperature range than the probe body.
• If the temperature of the measured environment diers greatly from ambient
temperature, the entire probe head and preferably plenty of cable must be inside the
measured environment. This prevents measurement inaccuracy caused by heat
conduction along the cable.
• Probe mounting options are model-specific.
Figure 2 Example installation
Mount the probe head horizontally to prevent any water condensing on the probe head

from running to the sensors.
2Let the cable hang loosely to prevent condensed water from running along the cable to
the probe body or probe head.
3Attach the probe body to a wall or other surface using the two mounting clips (Vaisala

Chapter 3 – Installation
Vaisala HUMICAPâ Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP3 is a general purpose probe
designed for various industrial processes. The probe structure allows for replacing the sensor
without tools, making it suitable for applications such as paint booths and other industrial
applications where periodic recalibration alone is not sucient for maintaining the probe
performance. Other suitable applications include, for example, industrial HVAC systems,
cleanrooms, and environmental chambers.
• Operating temperature for probe head −40 … +120 °C (−40 … +248 °F)
• Operating temperature for probe body −40 … +80 °C (−40 … +176 °F)
If purchased with a composite sensor instead of the field replaceable HUMICAPâ R2 sensor,
HMP3 can use the chemical purge feature. In environments with high concentrations of
chemicals and cleaning agents, the chemical purge option helps to maintain measurement
accuracy between calibration intervals.

If probe heating is enabled, output parameters that are dependent on temperature
measurement (such as relative humidity) are locked whenever probe is heated unless the true
temperature of the measured environment is updated to the temperature compensation
register of the probe from another measurement instrument (for example, the TMP1 probe).
Output parameters such as dew point temperature that can be measured or calculated
without this external temperature information are available even without the temperature
input.

Figure 11 MMP8 dimensions
Vaisala HUMICAPâ Moisture in Oil Probe MMP8 enables fast and reliable measurement of
moisture in oil. It uses proven Vaisala HUMICAPâ sensor that was developed for demanding
dissolved moisture measurements in transformer and lubrication oils, hydraulic fluids, and
other liquids.
MMP8 measures dissolved moisture in oil in terms of the water activity (aw), relative saturation
(%RS), and temperature (T). Water activity or relative saturation indicate directly whether
there is a risk of free water formation. This data is relevant in lubrication oil applications where
detecting water ingress and preventing free water formation is crucial. The measurement is
independent of oil type and age.

3Connection cable
The probe can be connected to Vaisala Indigo transmitters, either directly on the transmitter
from the probe's connector, or by using a cable between Indigo and the probe.
Indigo transmitters are host devices that extend the feature set of connected probes with a
range of additional options for outputs, configuration access, measurement viewing, and
status monitoring.
The selection of available additional features (for example, output and connectivity options)
varies depending on the Indigo transmitter model. Depending on the model, a display is
available as an optional selection or as a standard feature. In the non-display model, an LED
indicator is used for notifications.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the probe
Do not attempt to clean the sensors under the filter in any way.CAUTION!
Do not spray anything directly on the probe head, since that may deposit
impurities on the sensors.
You can clean the probe, probe body, and cable by wiping them with a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water or a suitable cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol. Do not wipe the
filter: wiping the filter may block its pores and/or deposit residue on the filter. If the filter is
heavily contaminated, replace it.
When cleaning, follow these precautions:
• Avoid touching the filter. If you need to touch the filter, always wear clean gloves (cotton,
rubber or similar material). Keep the filter free of any grease or oil.
• Do not scrape the probe or the probe body.
• Do not immerse the probe or the probe body in liquid to clean them.
• Wipe cleaning agents o the probe, probe body, and the cable after cleaning.
After cleaning the probe, it is recommended to perform a chemical purge.

Calibration and adjustment
The probe is fully calibrated and adjusted as shipped from the factory. To maintain the
accuracy of the measurement, calibrate and adjust the probe 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 probe. 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
6.4.1 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 probe will reject adjustments that are too large, that is, greater than 10 %RH for
humidity and 0.5 °C for temperature. If the probe 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 probe needs to be serviced by Vaisala.
40
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.
Chapter 6 – Maintenance
6.4.2 Adjusting measurement with Insight software
• Computer with Windows operating system and Vaisala Insight software
installed
• Vaisala USB cable 242659 for connecting the probe
• Reference environment(s) for producing the desired humidity and/or
temperature
This procedure can be used to adjust the probe'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 probe to Insight. See Connecting to Insight software (page 28).
2. If you intend to adjust humidity measurement, first select > Purge to perform a
chemical purge to condition the sensor. Wait a few minutes for purge to complete.
3. Select > Calibrate > Yes to switch the probe 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.
5. Define the needed adjustment for the first measurement point:
a. Insert the probe head in the reference environment for the first calibration point.
b. Wait for the measurement to stabilize fully.
c. Click the Reference value, point 1 text box and enter the reference value of the
calibration point. Press ENTER or click outside the text box when done.
d. The probe automatically enters the measured values for the calibration point.
6. If you want to adjust in more than one point, repeat step 5 for all desired calibration
points.
You can adjust humidity measurement in up to five points when Insight is set
to Advanced mode.
7. Select Activate adjustment > Yes to store the adjustment in the probe.
8. Check the message that appears at the top of the screen. If the message indicates that
the adjustment is activated successfully, your adjustment is stored in the probe.

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.
77
HMP3, HMP4, HMP5, HMP7, HMP8, HMP9, MMP8, TMP1 User GuideM212022EN-D
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
78
Registers are numbered in decimal, starting from one. Register
in the actual Modbus message).
hex
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.

The response to a write
function informs that the
function was correctly received
by the device. It does not
guarantee that the written

device (for example, in case
out-of-range values).
To verify that the value was
