    These versatile transmitters are also easy to install and to use. When necessary, they can be recalibrated on site with Vaisala’s HMI41 indicator equipped with an appropriate probe and optional calibration cable (19116ZZ).
  • Page 6: To Be Noted When Measuring Humidity

    HMP140A SERIES Operating Manual U175en-1.5 TO BE NOTED WHEN MEASURING HUMIDITY In the measurement of humidity and especially in calibration, it is essential that the temperature equilibrium is reached. Even a slight difference in the temperature between the measured object and the sensor causes an error. For example, at +20 C (+ 68 F) and 50 %RH, a temperature difference of +1 C between the measured object and the sensor causes an error of +3 %RH.
  • Page 7: Installation

    HMP140A SERIES U175en-1.5 Operating Manual INSTALLATION Selecting the place of installation Select a place that gives a true picture of the environment or process and is as clean as possible. Air should circulate freely around the sensor. A rapid air flow is recommended as it ensures the same temperature for the ambient air and the sensor head.

    HMP140A SERIES Operating Manual U175en-1.5 3.2.1 Mounting the HMP141A The optimal installation of the HMP141A is with the sensor head pointing downwards. Upward mounting should be avoided due to internal heat transfer. 1. Mounting and wiring: cable feedthrough on the surface or in the connection box.

  • Page 12: Connection To An Ac Supply

    HMP140A SERIES Operating Manual U175en-1.5 Connection to an AC supply The HMP140A transmitters can also be connected to an AC supply without an external rectifier. However, when two or more transmitters are connected to one 24 VAC transformer, a common loop is formed and there is an increased risk of a short-circuit.

    Location of the test connectors Two-point humidity calibration The calibration can also be done with the HMK11 or the HMK13B Calibrator, or the instrument can be sent to Vaisala or a Vaisala representative. 4.2.1 Two-point humidity calibration procedure Leave the calibrator and the transmitter for at least 30 minutes in the same space so that their temperatures have time to equalize.
