Introduction; Receiving The Temperature And Humidity Sensor - SMC Networks SMC-520 User Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

The SMC-520 Temperature and Humidity sensor is an accurate, reliable and cost effective way to
measure the air temperature and humidity for many applications.
The data transmitted from the SMC Temperature and Humidity sensor is in a standard NMEA
sentence format over RS232 and RS485 that can be used by many systems as well as SMCs
Monitoring System applications for graphical presentation and data logging, listed below.

SMChms, Helideck Monitoring System
•
SMCems, Environmental Monitoring System
•
SMCwms, Weather Monitoring System
The SMC-520 is produced to be used in outdoor applications. The optional SMC-560 Solar radiation
shield provides accurate temperature readings also in sunny environments. The SMC-520 uses a
PT1000 element for the temperature measurements.

1.1 RECEIVING THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR

Unpack the equipment and remove all the packaging materials and shipping carton.
The SMC-520 sensor is delivered in a cardboard box designed to protect it from damage during
transit.
When the sensor has been received, it must be inspected for damage during shipment. If damage has
occurred during transit, all the shipping cartons and packaging materials should be stored for further
investigation. If damage is visible, a claim for shipping damage must be filed immediately.
