Humidity and temperature transmitter
A unique capacitive sensor element is used for measuring relative humidity while temperature is measured by a band-gap
sensor. The applied measuring technology guarantees excellent reliability and long term stability. The microprocessor samples
the humidity and temperature once per second. It calculates an averaging signal over a preset number of seconds and
generates the output signal based on lower and upper signal range values. Standard range is 0…100% RH, -40…60 °C
(-40…140 °F) and 10 seconds average. The signal range of the temperature measurement and the averaging samples may be
customized. Standard output signal range and types may be selected by jumpers. Standard signal ranges are: 0…10 VDC,
0…10 VDC, 4…20 mA and 0…20 mA. Other ranges can be defined by using a programming tool (OPU-S or OPC-S). A version
with display is possible by ordering the integrated display accessory OPC-S.
Minimum and maximum values
Using the programming tool, the user has the option to read out and reset minimum and maximum values. The minimum and
maximum values may as well be used as output signals. The minimum and maximum values are saved into the EEPROM and
are available after a power interruption.
Ordering
Per default a sensor element with 3% RH accuracy and a PG9 cable gland for cables 4 – 8 mm (AWG 6 – 1) is included.
Contact your local sales contact to order sensing elements with different accuracies or if you prefer a sensor with conduit
connectors or a built in display module.

Technical Specification
Warning! Safety advice! This device is intended to be used for comfort applications. Where a device failure endangers
human life and/or property, it is the responsibility of the owner, designer and installer to add additional safety devices to
prevent or detect a system failure caused by such a device failure. The manufacturer of this device cannot be held liable for
any damage caused by such a failure. Failure to follow specifications and local regulations may endanger life, cause
equipment damage and void warranty.

Dimensions mm(inch)
Mechanical Design and Installation
The unit consists of two parts: (a) The back part with the probe and (b) the cover.
Mounting location
The transmitter should be installed, probe facing down, directly on the wall, in a weather protected area. The weather shield
accessory is recommended, in case the transmitter is exposed to weather and direct sunlight.
Warning about storage, packaging and usage environment
The sensing part is a polymer, which measures the humidity in the ambient air. For proper sensor operation some mandatory
precautions need to be taken during storage, packaging and usage.
The transmitter and its sensing element should not be packaged, stored or used in out-gassing plastic materials, which could
cause sensor contamination. In particular, it is recommended not to use any glue or adhesive tapes (Sellotape, Scotch-Tape,
Tesa-Film, etc.)within the package or close proximity of the sensor. Foamed materials often cause contamination problems
and should not be used to package the transmitter. Best packaging material is a simple cardboard box or a deep-drawn
plastic case in a cardboard box.

Configuration
The transmitter can be adapted to fit perfectly into any application by adjusting the software parameters. The parameters are
set with the operation terminals OPU-S or OPC-S. The OPU-S may also be used as remote indicator.

Output configuration
Output signal configuration
The analog output signal type may be configured with a jumper for 0-10 VDC or 020 mA control signals. The jumpers are located next to the terminal connector of
each analog output. See table below for jumper placement. The factory setting is
to 0-10 VDC.
The signal range may be set with JP3 for both analog outputs. JP3 will only operate
if the output range specified with OP01 and OP02 or OP04 and OP05 is left at the
default position of 0…100%. With any other setting the position of JP3 has no
influence and the range defined with the output parameters applies.
