  • Page 5: General Description

    EWS-RH Relative Humidity/Temperature Transmitter General Description The OMEGA Model EWS-RH is a combination dual output, relative ® humidity/temperature transmitter. A thin film temperature compensated, polymer capacitor senses relative humidity while a solid state temperature sensor measures ambient temperature. Independent user selectable 4-20 mA or 1-5 Vdc outputs are provided for both measured parameters via a terminal strip connection.
  • Page 6: Theory Of Operation

    A 4-20 mA loop is a series loop in which a transmitter will vary the current flow depending on the input to the transmitter. In the EWS-RH the amount of current allowed to flow in the loop will vary depending on the relative humidity or temperature being measured by the sensor.

    Note: These units are not designed, nor recommended for medical, Explosive Environment or outdoor applications. Mounting OMEGA's EWS Series of sensors and transmitters are designed for wall mounting in locations that are free from dirt, grease, food particles and condensing moisture such as manufacturing clean rooms, computer rooms and laboratory type environments.
