HMP228 M210282en-A Operating Manual This page intentionally left blank.
The operation of the sensor is based on changes in its capacitance as the thin polymer film absorbs water molecules. The HMP228 transmitter has two analogue outputs and can be connected to a serial bus via the RS 232C interface or through an RS 485/422 serial module or a current loop module.
While temperature raises, the paper insulation of transformers tends to loose moisture which is absorbed by the oil surrounding it. Saturation level is thus a true indicator of moisture present. The HMP228 method provides for a reliable detection of the aging of oil and possible leakages.
HMP228 M210282en-A Operating Manual INSTALLATION Selecting the place of installation for the probe and the transmitter Select a place which gives a true picture of the process. Oil should circulate freely around the sensor; a rapid oil flow is recommended. Install the sensor directly into the circulation system and not into the oil reservoir because of deposition.

HMP228 Operating Manual M210282en-A 2.2.3 Installing the probe through the ball valve assembly It is recommended that the sensor head is installed in the process through the ball valve assembly. Use a 1/2" ball valve assembly with a hole diameter of 14 mm or more.
Page 13
HMP228 Operating Manual See Figures 2.2.3.2 - 2.2.3.4 for detailed description of installation through the ball valve assembly. Note also that if the sensor head is installed in a process pipe, the nominal size of the pipe must be at least 1 inch.

2.3.2 Connection to an AC supply The HMP228 transmitter can also be connected to an AC supply without an external rectifier. However, when more than one transmitter is connected for example to one 24 VAC transformer, a common loop is formed and there is an increased risk of a short-circuit.
HMP228 Operating Manual M210282en-A 2.3.3 Grounding A single electrical cable with a screen and three to ten wires is recommended for power and analogue output/serial bus connections. The cable diameter should be 7...10 mm. The screen of the electrical cable must be grounded properly to achieve best possible EMC performance.

A limited range of commands can be given with the three press switches (up, down, enter) inside the transmitter housing. There are four LEDs to indicate the commands given with the up and down switches. All HMP228 units incorporate these switches and LED indicators. LED commands can be used to calibrate the transmitters (both humidity and temperature) or to calibrate the analogue outputs.
When the security lock jumper is connected, some commands cannot be used, see Chapter 4. If you wish to take into use variables that are not included in the configuration of your transmitter, contact Vaisala for more information. 3.1.2 Commands and security lock jumper...

A two-point calibration can be performed with Vaisala’s HMK15 or HMK13B Calibrator or the instrument can be sent to Vaisala. The instrument has to be recalibrated each time the moisture sensor is changed. A Ø 13.5 adapter must be used when calibrating with the HMK13B Calibrator.

HMP228 Appendix 3: Power supply module M210282en-A INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY MODULE The mains power connection may be connected to the power supply module only by an authorized electrician. A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring (IEC 950).

HMP228 M210282en-A Appendix 3: Power supply module Peel the correct power supply voltage from the sticker enclosed in the power supply module package and attach it on the instrument label to indicate that the supply voltage has been changed. The power supply module cannot be used if the re-gaining option has NOTE been activated.
The module is plugged in connectors X4 and X5 on the main board of the HMP228 transmitter; connector X1 on the module board to connector X4 and connector X2 to connector X5.
The HMP228 transmitters can either be given an address or operated without an address. Both single and dual loop wiring with half duplex connection can be used. No address is needed when only one HMP228 transmitter is used; when several transmitters are connected to the same line, each transmitter must be given an address in the initial configuration.

HMP228 Appendix 4: RS 485/422 serial port module M210282en-A The RS 485/422 module has separate lines for transmitting and receiving, but they can be connected together with jumpers. Dual loop connection is the factory setting; when a single loop connection is used, the positions of jump- ers in connector X4 on the module must be changed.
HMP228 M210282en-A Appendix 4: RS 485/422 serial port module NETWORK CONFIGURATION Single loop operation Bi-directional data on one pair is one of the great advantages of the RS 485 line. Set jumpers in connector X4 on the module board as shown in the figure below.

The module is plugged in connectors X4 and X5 on the main board of the HMP228 transmitter; connector X1 on the module board to connector X4 and connector X2 to connector X5.
The serial line structure is a serial interfaced chain (daisy chain). At one end of the serial line there must be a HMP228 transmitter and at the other end a line master. A branch line can be made with a junction box.
Page 97
A single loop connection has simpler wiring. Data transmis- sion is achieved by switching the loop current on and off. Normally, current flows through the loop(s) even when the HMP228 transmit- ter is not on, so switching one transmitter off does not affect the other trans- mitters on the loop.
HMP228 Appendix 5: Digital current loop module M210282en-A NETWORK CONFIGURATION Single loop operation Bi-directional data on one pair and galvanic isolation are the advantages of the current loop. Single pair/dual pair use is configured through wiring (see figure). Supplying power from the same end to the loops prevents crossover voltages.

M210282en-A APPENDIX 6: ERROR MESSAGES The HMP228 transmitters go through a self-diagnostics procedure when the power is switched on. When the procedure does not reveal any errors or faults, the transmitter starts operating normally. If errors or faults are found, the transmitter outputs an error message.
