User's Guide _______________________________________________________________________ Probe Mounting In humidity measurement and especially in calibration it is essential that temperature of the probe and measuring environment is the same. Even a small difference in temperature between the environment and the probe causes an error. As the curve below shows, if the temperature is +20 °C and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a difference of ±1 °C between the environment and the probe causes an error of ±6 %RH.
Chapter 3 ________________________________________________________________ Installation General Instructions for Probes with Cable Mount the probes with a cable with the sensor head horizontally; this way, any water condensing on the tube cannot flow onto the sensor. 0507-024 Figure 20 Horizontal Mounting of Sensor Head The following numbers refer to Figure 20 above: 1 = To be sealed.
If this is not possible and the sensor head must be inserted from the top, the point of entry must be carefully insulated.

User's Guide _______________________________________________________________________ Operation of RS-485 Module RS-485 interface enables communication between RS-485 network and HMT330 transmitter. The RS-485 interface is isolated and offers a maximum communications rate of 115 200 bits/s. (For maximum bus length of 1 km, use bit rate 19200 b/s or less.) When selecting an RS-232-RS-485 converter for the network, avoid self powered converters as they don't necessarily support the needed power consumption.

INTV [n xxx] where 1 - 255 xxx = S, MIN or H This command sets the RUN mode output interval. The time interval is used only when the RUN mode is active. For example, the output interval is set to 10 minutes.
Chapter 4 _________________________________________________________________ Operation SEND Use the SEND command to output the reading once in POLL mode: SEND [aa] where aa = address of the transmitter OPEN When all transmitters on the RS-485 bus are in POLL mode the OPEN command sets one transmitter temporarily to STOP mode so that other commands can be entered.
User's Guide _______________________________________________________________________ Sensor Functions Chemical Purge (Optional) In some specific applications the sensor gain may decrease gradually due to an interference caused by a particular chemical present in the measured gas, for example. The decrease of sensor gain due to an interfering chemical and the effect of the chemical purge process are illustrated below, see Figure 48 below.
Chapter 4 _________________________________________________________________ Operation Before starting the chemical purge note the following: - The sensor is protected with a PPS grid with stainless steel netting, a stainless steel sintered filter or with membrane SST filter. - The sensor temperature must be below 100 °C. At higher temperatures the chemicals evaporate spontaneously from the sensor and the chemical purge is not necessary.
