_____________________________________________________________________________ Overview The HygroClip M22 series are 2-wire, loop powered transmitters used to measure humidity and temperature in manufacturing areas, clean rooms, research laboratories and other industrial applications. Linearized output signals (DC current) are provided for transmission over a length of cable to a remote display, recorder, controller or data processing unit.

HygroClip S operating range -40 to 85ºC (-40 to 185ºF) wire mesh filter length: 100mm (3.9"), d: 15mm (0.6") 1) Special environments may require using a foam filter (consult ROTRONIC). The HygroClip S measures relative humidity with a ROTRONIC M22W HYGROMER C94 capacitive humidity sensor.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Temperature operating range and limits The M22 series can operate within -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F) at the electronics. The temperature operating range of the HygroClip S probe is -40…85°C (-40…185°F). Operating the transmitter and/or its probe outside of the temperature limits can result in permanent damage.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Installation Do not unnecessarily remove the dust filter from the HygroClip probe. The sensors can easily be damaged when not protected. General recommendations Relative humidity is extremely dependent on temperature. Proper measurement of relative humidity requires that the probe and its sensors be at exactly the temperature of the environment to be measured.

Periodic calibration check of the probe Long term stability of the ROTRONIC Hygromer humidity sensor is typically better than 1 %RH per year. For maximum accuracy, calibration of the probe should be verified every 6 to 12 months.

The MOK-03-WIN cable is used to calibrate the HygroClip S probe independently from the M22 transmitter. The MOK-03-WIN cable connects the HygroClip S probe to the COM port of a PC. This cable is shipped together with the Rotronic HW3 software which is used to read and calibrate the probe from the PC.
-14- _____________________________________________________________________________ Service cables Service cable ACRL420 is used to connect the service connector of the M22 to probe input 1 of the HygroPalm 3 portable indicator / calibrator. The service cable allows to do one of the following: a) Read the analog output signals of the M22 transmitter with the HygroPalm 3. The analog signals are read in %RH and in ACRL420 service cable °C (or °F, depending on the configuration of...

Rotronic together with the ACRL420 service cable. Configuration of the HygroPalm requires a PC with the Rotronic HW3 software installed. Both current loops of the M22 transmitter should be closed. To calibrate the probe connected to the M22 transmitter, select probe 2 on the HygroPalm and enter one of the calibration modes the HygroPalm (1-point calibration, multi- point calibration).
