    HMD60U/Y Transmitters U301en-1.1 Operating Manual PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The HMD60 transmitters are duct mounted two-wire transmitters for the measurement of humidity (HMD60U) and for the measurement of humidity and temperature (HMD60Y). The HMD60U/Y transmitters are easy to install and maintain: the electronics can be disconnected without dismantling the installation.
  • Page 6: To Be Noted When Measuring Humidity

    HMD60U/Y Transmitters Operating Manual U301en-1.1 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.

    HMD60U/Y Transmitters U301en-1.1 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.

    HMD60U/Y Transmitters Operating Manual U301en-1.1 Grounding Open the lid and mount the cable bushing set 18941HM. Do the grounding according to Figure 3.3. When connecting the signal cable to the transmitter housing, fold the cable braid between the brass disk in order to achieve the best possible EMC performance.

    LiCl (11 %RH) and NaCl (75 %RH) solutions. Two-point humidity calibration The calibration can also be done with salt calibrators, 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.
