Note that you must wire the transmitter according to the type of transmitter (specified at order time; 2-wire current output or 3-wire voltage output). CH1 + Us + 10...35V DC...
Chapter 4 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE This chapter provides information that is needed in basic maintenance of the product. Replacing the HUMICAP® Sensor Fixed Probe Model The end of the plastic probe cover is detachable. Carefully turn the end about 1/6 of a turn to loosen it. Remove the end of the probe cover and the filter.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Removing and Fastening the Probe Fixed Probe Model Remove and replace the probe as follows: Loosen the plastic probe cover by carefully turning it counter clock wise. Remove the probe cap and O-ring. Remove the probe cover. The probe is now exposed. Unscrew the small sleeve that is securing the probe in place and pull out the probe.
See contact information on page 39. It is also possible to remove the HMP100 probe and replace it with a new one. The old probe can be adjusted using another HMT100 transmitter body, if you have one available.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Relative Humidity Adjustment Using the Push-Buttons 0505-182 Figure 14 Adjustment Buttons A simple push-button adjustment is carried out using two relative humidity references: 11.3 % RH (LiCl) and 75.5 % RH (NaCl). To carry out the adjustment, follow the instructions below: Remove the probe cover and the filter.
HM70's connector ports located on the bottom of the indicator (see Figure 15 above). Turn on both devices (or just the HM70 if HMT100 is on continuously). The reading of the transmitter is shown on the top or middle row of the indicator display, depending on which connector port the connection cable is connected to.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Press to start adjustment. Check the environment settings if needed. Otherwise press Continue according to the directions of the desired adjustment method. Field Checking and Adjustment Using a Calibrated Reference Probe Follow steps 1 to 7 on page 25 and continue as follows: Check that the probes are located in equal conditions and wait until the readings have stabilized (may take 30 minutes or more).
Chapter 4 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance 0505-185 Figure 16 Example of the MI70 Adjustment Menu Press when the reading has stabilized in the reference READY condition (may take 30 minutes or more). You can follow the stabilization from the display. GRAPH 0505-186 Figure 17 Example of the MI70 Adjustment Mode Graph Display...
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Enter the correct reference value in the first condition with the arrow buttons. Press Remove the probe from the first reference conditions and insert the probe head into the higher humidity reference condition. Press when the reading has stabilized in the second READY reference condition (may take 30 minutes or more).
Turn off the MI70 and detach the connection cable. Adjustment with HMI41 You can check and adjust the HMT100 relative humidity measurement with the HMI41 indicator and HMP41/45/46 probes. A HMI41-connection cable is needed, Vaisala order code: 25917ZZ.
▲ and ▼. When the baud rate is correct, press , and the serial communications settings display appears. ENTER The correct settings for HMT100 series are: N, 8, 1. If needed, change the settings with buttons ▲ and ▼ until they are correct, press...
Connect the 25917ZZ HMI41-connection cable to the SERVICE connector on the HMT100 motherboard (see Figure 10 on PORT page 19). Connect the other end of the connection cable to the connector located on the bottom of the HMI41 indicator (see Figure 18 on page 29).
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Numbers on the first line indicate the transmitter reading, and the numbers on the second line indicate the reference probe reading. Let the readings stabilize (may take 30 minutes or more). If you prefer, you can change the display to show the difference in the readings.

Chapter 4 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance The numbers on the first line indicate the transmitter reading, and the numbers on the second line indicate the HMI41 probe reading. Let the readings stabilize and press . The following display MODE appears: The HMI41 now works only as a terminal for setting the humidity reading.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Troubleshooting Table 4 presents a summary of a few error messages that may appear during adjustment with the HMI41. Table 4 Common Problems During Adjustment and Their Remedies Error Message Probable Cause Remedy This message may Perform the adjustment appear for example if again.
Chapter 4 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance Analog Output Tests The HMT100 Humidity and Temperature Transmitter has a built-in software function for testing the analog outputs. To test the outputs, do the following: Make sure the transmitter is not in adjustment mode. Press the 75 % adjustment button (see Figure 14 on page 24).
