We carefully pack and routinely insure all shipments.
The M1 series are humidity and temperature transmitters suitable for cost sensitive applications where conditions are within the range of 0 to 100 %RH and -30 to 70°C (-22 to 158°F). The M1 series measures both humidity and temperature and can also be used to measure either humidity or temperature only.
Operating range and limits The M1 series can operate within 0 to 99 %RH non condensing and -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F) at the probe and electronics. The useful application range of the M1 series is 0 to 100%RH and -30 to 70°C (-22 to 158°F) at the probe.
The M1 series uses the temperature data from the Pt100 RTD to provide automatic compensation for the effect of temperature on the humidity sensor. The temperature compensation uses normal room temperature as a reference. Because of this, calibration of the M1 series is always done at normal room temperature.
______________________________________________________________________________ d) Immerse as much of the probe as possible in the environment to be measured. e) Prevent the accumulation of condensation water at the level of the sensor leads. Install the probe so that the probe tip is looking downward. If this is not possible, install the probe horizontally. Installation and wiring of the base plate The base plate should be installed first, using screws with an approximate diameter of 5/32".

______________________________________________________________________________ Note: it is not necessary to connect both terminals 1 and 3 to the plus side of the power supply. The transmitter will operate normally with just one of these terminals connected. __________________________________________________________________________________ in_m1.doc...

-10- ______________________________________________________________________________ M13 (3-wire): the humidity and temperature circuits are independent one from the other. Any output can be operated without closing the loop for the other output. Installation of the electronics module Once the base plate has been installed and wired, the electronics module can be inserted and secured with the screws provided.

-11- ______________________________________________________________________________ For routine calibration checks, the probe should be verified at one or two values of humidity. For more details, see service connector, service cable and appendix 2 - calibration __________________________________________________________________________________ in_m1.doc...
______________________________________________________________________________ Service connector Transmitters of the M1 series feature a keyed 10-pin service connector. This service connector can be used to connect M1 transmitter to probe input 1 of the HygroPalm 3 indicator with a service cable. For details, see service cable.
-13- ______________________________________________________________________________ Service cable Service cable ACRLXB5 is used to connect the service connector of the M1 to probe input 2 of the HygroPalm 3 portable indicator. The ACRLXB5 service cable allows to do any of the following: a) Display locally the signals of the M1 transmitter with the HygroPalm 3. This makes it possible to validate the entire measuring loop: probe, transmitter, wiring and central processing unit.

Detailed calibration instructions are provided separately in the HygroPalm manual. Follow the same procedure as you would to calibrate a probe attached to the HygroPalm. Note that the M1 transmitter must be powered up during calibration. Appendix 3: Accessories for the M1 Series Order Code Description...
