The HC2A probes are compatible only with the AirChip3000 generation of ROTRONIC humidity-temperature instruments. Configuration of the HC2A probes and access to the probe functions requires a PC with the ROTRONIC HW4 software version 3.7 or higher or connection to a compatible instrument from ROTRONIC.
HT-1 capacitive sensor and temperature with a Pt100 RTD. Calculated parameters Using the ROTRONIC HW4 software, the HC2A probe can be configured by the user to calculate either the dew point or the frost point. Analog output signals The HC2A probe features two 0…1 V linear analog output signals. The default factory settings are as follows: Output 1: 0…1 V (humidity)
Firmware update of HygroClip2 probes Communication protocol The probe measurement data can be read without having to use the ROTRONIC HW4 software. The HC2A probe offers the following communication protocol options (ASCII) which can be selected by connecting the...
Most such users will never have to use the probe configurable settings and functions. o Users who purchased a probe for use with another ROTRONIC instrument can also use the probe right away and do not necessarily have to use the probe configurable settings and functions...
The HC2A probes are compatible with a large number of indicators, data loggers and transmitters from ROTRONIC. Operating instructions are provided in each device manual. The HC2A probes can also be used as a conventional analog probe. See Accessories, supply voltage adapters, connectors and cables. Use the HW4 software to configure the probe as desired, complete the mechanical and electrical installation and power up the probe.
(see Accessories). Probe configuration and full access to all probe functions requires a PC with the ROTRONIC HW4 software installed. When using the standard RO-ASCII protocol, access to some of the probe functions is also possible without HW4. For details, see document E-M-AC3000-CP.
For connecting the HC2A probe to a PC, use a digital adapter cable AC3001 (see document E-M- HC2-accessories). Procedure for adjusting the HC2A probe with the ROTRONIC HW4 software: o Connect the HC2A probe to the HW4 PC as explained in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-Main o Start HW4 software on the PC and search for the HC2A probe.
Manual E-M-HC2A-V1_0.docx Firmware updates Firmware updates will be available on the ROTRONIC website for downloading. For connecting the HC2A probe to a PC, use a digital adapter cable AC3001 (see document E-M-HC2-accessories). Procedure for updating the firmware: o Connect the HC2A probe to the HW4 PC as explained in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-Main o Copy the firmware update file from the ROTRONIC website to the PC.
