0 … 10 V range. HMT130 has also an RS-485 digital interface and a relay. The HMP110 series measurement probes used with HMT130 incorporate the reliable Vaisala HUMICAPâ humidity sensor technology. The HMT130 transmitter's output parameters are configurable. Available parameters for outputs are limited to two at a time.
Vaisala: • Order a new probe and keep your current one. • Order a new probe and return the old one to Vaisala (replacement probe). Only probes that have a compatible digital output (VDIGI mode) can be used with the transmitter.
Chapter 2 – Product overview 2.6 Constant output probe The constant output probe HMP110REF is a testing accessory that can be used to check the transmitter's functions and measurement signal transfer chain all the way to the control system. The constant output probe does not measure humidity and temperature; instead, it outputs constant humidity and temperature readings.
