Configuration Before Installation If you need to change the settings of the transmitter, it is best to do this before it has been installed. You can configure HMW90 series transmitters in two ways: - Using the DIP switches (and rotary switch on the HMW93) on the component board.
- Relay contacts are open when transmitter is powered off. If you need to configure the relay for some other quantity or need additional configuration options, see section Relay Configuration in Custom Mode on page 40.

USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Wiring Connect the wiring to the screw terminals on the mounting base. The supply voltage and terminal assignments are model-specific. Max wire size 2 mm2 (AWG14). After completing the wiring, connect the transmitter body over the mounting base. Note that mounting bases are model-specific. Wiring HMW92 You must connect the RH channel of the HMW92, even if you only want to measure temperature.
This will avoid a short-circuit through the shared common line at the controller; see Figure 11 below.

The alarm indicator and an error message will also appear on the screen.
When connecting using a PC, use the Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order code 219690) and a suitable terminal application: - If you have not used the Vaisala USB cable before, install the driver that came with the cable. Refer to section Installing the Driver for the USB Service Cable on page 24 for detailed instructions.
There is no reason to uninstall the driver for normal use. However, if you wish to remove the driver files and all Vaisala USB cable devices, you can do so by uninstalling the entry for Vaisala USB Instrument Driver from the Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Windows Vista) in the Windows Control Panel.
Serial line to connect to field. Note: You can check which port the USB cable is using with the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the Windows Start menu. Check that the other serial settings are correct for your connection, and change if necessary.

Chapter 4 ________________________________________________________________ Operation Calibration and Adjustment Commands The following sections describe the calibration and adjustment commands of the HMW90 series. For general information on performing calibration and adjustment on the serial line, see section Adjustment Using a PC on page 54.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 1-point Adjustment of RH Measurement The 1-point adjustment adjusts both offset and gain depending on the adjustment condition. The same type of adjustment is done when turning the RH trimmer. Place the transmitter in the reference condition and allow it to stabilize before entering the adjustment.
1-point Adjustment of T Measurement Place the transmitter in the reference condition and allow it to stabilize before entering the adjustment. CT [x]<cr> where The reference temperature (in degrees Celsius) that the transmitter should be showing. Example: >pass 9000 >ct 23 VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 45...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Clear User Adjustment of T Measurement CT [RESET]<cr> Example: >pass 9000 >ct reset Enter Calibration and Adjustment Information Use the CTEXT command to store a text string that describes the calibration and/or adjustment. To enter a text string with spaces, enclose the string in quotation marks.

Issue the command without parameters to end the relay test. RTEST [state]<cr> where state = State of the relay contacts. Options are: open (open the relay contacts) closed (close the relay contacts) Example (close relay contacts): >pass 9000...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 5 MAINTENANCE This chapter provides information that is needed in basic maintenance of the HMW90 series. Periodic Maintenance Cleaning The body of the transmitter can be cleaned by wiping with a moistened lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, or blow pressurized air into the transmitter housing.
Calibration and adjustment services are available through Vaisala Service Centers. HMW90 series transmitters have a display that makes it easy to compare the measured readings against any portable calibration reference. Note that depending on the ordered configuration, the display may be hidden under the sliding cover.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Adjustment Using Display and Trimmers The trimmers only turn 135 degrees each way, less than half a rotation. CAUTION Do not force the trimmer past the stopping point. NOTE User calibration settings (adjustment by trimmers or service port) are stored in the HTM10 module.
Chapter 5 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance Adjustment Using an HM70 Connect the HMW90 series transmitter to the HM70 hand-held meter using the connection cable (Vaisala order code 219980). Depending on the connected devices, you may be prompted by the HM70 meter to check the currently applied environment settings.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Adjustment Using a PC For more detailed instructions on using the Vaisala USB cable and a terminal application, see section Connecting With a PC on page 23. For a description of the serial commands, see section Calibration and Adjustment Commands on page 43.
Chapter 5 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance Repair Maintenance Repair services are available through Vaisala Service Centers. For contact information of Vaisala Service Centers, see www.vaisala.com/servicecenters. Replacing the HTM10 Module If you cannot restore the measurement accuracy of the transmitter by calibration and adjustment, you can replace the HTM10 module inside the transmitter.
Page 58
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Take the new module and insert the pins to the connector on the transmitter’s component board. Push down on the module so that the plastic holders clip into place. Reconnect the transmitter to the mounting base. Verify that there are no errors when the transmitter starts up. If you see the errors HTM10 01 or HTM10 02 on the screen, it is likely that the module is not seated properly in the connector.
2. If you are using remote echo on the transmitter, disable it with the ECHO OFF command to avoid collisions. 3. There may be an intermittent connection problem between the transmitter and your terminal. Issue the command again.
