1. Description This test board is meant for the evaluation of iST`s humidity modules. This includes the heated module HYT223, for which different heating setting can be evaluated. The board has multiple connectors for different HYT modules and uses I C bus protocol to read out relative humidity and temperature signals.
C address of a HYT module, please refer to the HYT application note available from the iST AG website. Please note that no more than one HYT humidity module is to be connected to the transmitter at any given time. Refer to Schematics (1.1) for position of the sockets.
Material no. 156389, 153326, 155958 Connector HYT wire * All above listed HYT modules connected via an extension cable. The recommended maximum length of the extension cable is 30 cm. The quality of signal transmittance depends on operational conditions and the cable material.
Mount a selected humidity module on the board following instructions in chapter 1.5 Signal input. Check SDA/VDD/GND/SCL markings on the board and match the HYT orientation. While handling HYT modules, take precautions to avoid ESD damage and avoid touching sensitive sensor areas. Consult the HYT application note for detailed handling instructions with pictures.
9. Start interval logging with a set measurement interval. Use e.g. “l60000” to log every 60000 miliseconds (equal to 1 minute). Be aware that the response time of the HYT module in a particular installation depends on multiple factors including flow conditions.

5. Disclaimer The HYT evaluation board is designed solely for preliminary evaluation purposes and tests with IST AG‘s humidity modules from the HYT family under laboratory conditions. It is not suitable as an electronic component for any type of product. It remains an engineering board, and the electronic layout is subject to changes without prior notice.
