INTRODUCTION The HD2101.1 and HD2101.2 are portable instruments with a large LCD display. They measure relative humidity and temperature using a Pt100 sensor or thermocouple humidity/temperature combined probe. Temperature only is measured by immersion, penetration or air contact probes. The sensor can be a Pt100, Pt1000 or Ni1000. When the combined humidity/temperature probe is connected, the instrument calculates and displays the absolute humidity, the dew point, the partial vapour pressure, and the comfort indices.

KEYBOARD AND MENU DESCRIPTION Foreword The instrument keyboard is composed of single-function keys, like the MENU key, and double- function keys such as the ON-OFF/Auto-OFF key. In the double-keys, the function in the upper part is the "main function", while the one in the bottom part is the "secondary function".

The automatic turning off function is disabled when external power is used. On the other hand, it cannot be disabled when the batteries are discharged. FUNC/ENTER key During normal measurement this enables the display and logging of the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN) and average (AVG) value of the measurements captured by the probe connected to the instrument, updating them with the acquisition of new samples.

%RH probe calibration Simultaneous pressure on the UNIT and FUNC keys starts the calibration procedure of the probe connected to the instrument. Please see the paragraph dedicated to calibration on page 14. °C/°F - ESC key Changes the unit of measurement for the temperature from degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit for both the main and secondary variable.

2) Probe type: the message ">>>_PRBE_TYPE" is scrolled in the comment line. The main line in the center of the display shows the type of probe connected to the instrument. The following probes can be connected to the input: • humidity/temperature combined probes with Pt100 sensor complete with SICRAM module •...

9) MIN (minutes): to set the current minutes. In order to correctly synchronize the minute, it is possible to reset the seconds by pressing the UNIT key. Use the arrows to set the current minute plus one, and as soon as that minute is reached press UNIT: this synchronizes the time to the second.

The printing operation is accompanied by the display of the RS232 symbol and the blinking of the battery symbol; when using an external power supply the battery symbol does not appear. Press SERIAL to end the continuous printing. Before starting the printing with SERIAL, set the baud rate. To do so, select the Baud Rate menu item and select the maximum value equal to 38400 baud by using the arrows.
THE PROBES The instrument works by using combined humidity/temperature probes (temperature with a Pt100 sensor or thermocouple) and with temperature only probes with 4 wire Pt100, or 2 wire Pt1000 or Ni1000. The combined humidity/temperature probes are fitted with SICRAM module that acts as an interface between the sensor on the probe and the instrument.

The probes are calibrated in our laboratory at 23°C at the points of 75%RH, 33%RH and 11.4%RH. On request, the probes can be checked at different isotherms. The calibration of the temperature sensor by the user is not required: the sensor is calibrated in the factory and the Callendar Van Dusen parameters are recorded in the SICRAM module.
this case the chamber cannot reach its saturation anymore. For the saturated solutions at 75%RH, check that the salt is not dry (crystallized) for in order to reach the saturation, it needs to be wet 5) Storage of the saturated solutions: the saturated solutions must be stored in a dark environment at a constant temperature of about 20°C with the container well closed inside a dry room Relative humidity of saturated salts at different temperatures Temp...

Pt100, Pt1000 and Ni1000 T IRECT INPUT INTO EMPERATURE PROBES The instrument accepts the input of Platinum temperature probes with resistances of 100Ω and 1000Ω, as well as Nickel temperature probes with a 1000Ω resistance. The Pt100 are connected to 4 wires, the Pt1000 and Ni1000 to 2 wires, with the excitation current chosen minimizing the sensor self-heating effects.

Open the two module shells: the printed circuit to which the probe must be connected is housed inside. On the left there are the 1…4 points on which the sensor wires must be welded. The JP1…JP4 jumpers are in the center of the board. These must be closed with a tin bead for some type of sensors: Not Used Ni1000...
Direct connection of 4 wire Pt100 sensors 4 wire Pt100 sensors can be soldered di- Sensor Direct soldering to the connector rectly to the pins of the free female con- nector without making use of the TP47 board. The 4 wires of the Pt100 sensors have to be soldered as indicated in the figure on the left.
WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Do not expose the probes to gases or liquids that could corrode the material of the sensor or the probe itself. Clean the probe carefully after each measurement. 2. Do not bend the probe connectors or force them upward or downward. 3.
INSTRUMENT SIGNALS AND FAULTS The following table lists all error indications and information displayed by the instrument and supplied to the user in different operating situations: Display indications Explanation This appears if the probe has already been detected by the instrument, but is disconnected.

LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT The battery symbol on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent that batteries have discharged, the symbol "empties". When the charge decreases still further it starts blinking… In this case, batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. If you continue to use it, the instrument can no longer ensure correct measurement.
ALFUNCTIONING UPON TURNING ON AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT After replacing the batteries, the instrument may not restart correctly; in this case, repeat the operation. After disconnecting the batteries, wait a few minutes in order to allow circuit condensers to discharge completely; then reinsert the batteries. ARNING ABOUT BATTERY USE •...
SERIAL INTERFACE AND USB The HD2101.1 and HD2101.2 instruments are fitted with an electrically isolated RS-232C serial interface; the HD2101.2 also has a USB 2.0 interface. The following serial cables can be used: • HD2110CSNM: serial connection cable with 8-pole MiniDin connector on one end and 9-pole Sub D connector on the other end;...

STORING AND TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER The HD2101.1 and HD2101.2 instruments can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C serial port or USB 2.0 port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog9 software running in a Windows operating environment. Both models can send in real time input measured values directly to a PC, through the PRINT function;...
PRINT FUNCTION The PRINT function sends the measurements taken in real time by the instrument inputs directly to a PC or a printer. Print data units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. The function is started by pressing SERIAL. The time interval between two consecutive prints can be set from 1 second to 1 hour (please see the Print and log interval menu item on page 10).
