2 Application The Particulate matter-hygro-thermo-baro sensors from our COMPACT series are designed to measure the particulate matter values PM10 and PM 2.5, relative humidity, air temperature and barometric air pressure. The sensors are primarily intended for use in distributed particulate matter measurement net- works outdoors.
The absolute air pressure is measured at the altitude of the sensor (measuring altitude, see drawing).

6 Electrical Installation The electrical installation of the particulate matter-hygro-thermo-baro sensor is divided into two parts. The measuring electronics are connected via a plug connection, which is used both for the power supply and for communication. The ventilation of the weather and radia- tion protection is connected via a cable that is permanently connected to the device.
The cable to be connected should have 4 wires, minimal wire cross-section 0.25mm² (AWG 23), cable diameter 6 … 8mm, resistant to ultraviolet rays, overall shielding. The following procedure is recommended for using the cable shield: Connect the cable shield between the sensor and the data acquisition system (e.g., datalog- ger) on both sides.
6.2 Connection of the ventilation 6.2.1 Cable assignment The permanently connected cable for the ventilation is assigned as follows: Figure 3: Ventilation connection diagram 6.2.2 Fan status The status output indicates the condition of the fan. A high signal expresses that the fan is working correctly, if the output is 0V there is a malfunction.
7 Maintenance The particulate-hygro-thermo-baro sensor compact is supplied adjusted and calibrated. The weather and radiation protection contains a plug-in module for measuring relative humidity and air temperature (Hygro-Thermo module). The PT 1000 sensor is optimally aligned at the factory. It should not be bent any other way. Although dust deposits do not damage the humidity sensor, they may impair the dynamic behaviour.

Do not touch the highly sensitive hygro-thermo sensor element on the sensor surface. Sensor PT1000 Sensor surface Protective jacket Figure 7: Hygro-thermo Measuring Element The white protective jacket on the hygro-thermo sensor element must not be removed. If used with a filter cap, this should also be cleaned or replaced as required. When the pro- tective cap or filter cap has been removed, the Hygro-Thermo module can also be pulled up to clean or replace it.
Particular attention must be paid to the correct seating of the hygro-thermo module and the protective or filter cap, as these also ensure the tightness of the device. The particulate matter sensor does not have to be serviced, but is automatically cleaned. Sensor cleaning only takes place regularly when the power supply is uninterrupted.
10 Interface The interface to the sensor consists of an RS485 connection (half duplex mode) with the fol- lowing interface parameters • 9600 baud • 8 data bits • No parity bit • 1 stop bit • Data in ASCII format (command interpreter: THIES) •...

10.3.2 Command CF <id>CF<parameter><CR> Calibration status Access: Read Description: The calibration status is queried with the CF command. In the case of calibrated hygro-thermo measuring elements, the cali- bration status is set to one at the factory. When replacing the hygro-thermo measuring element later, the error "invalid re- placement of hygro-thermo measuring element"...
10.3.3 Command CI <id>CI<parameter><CR> Selection of the command interpreter Access: Read / write Description: The command interpreter is set with the command CI. Note: If the identification number (ID) is greater than 98, it is automatically set to 0 when switching to the THIES interpreter! Note: If the identification number (ID) is 0, switching to the MODBUS-RTU inter- preter is not possible!
10.3.5 Command EFS <id>EFS<parameter><CR> Status of the sensor (Extended Fault Status) Access: Read Description: The command returns the status of the Particulate Matter - Hy- gro-Thermo-Baro sensor. For each module of the device the tel- egram sends a line with the name of the module followed by the status.
