HMW60U/Y Transmitters U302en-1.1 Operating Manual PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The HMW60 transmitters are wall mounted truly two-wire transmitters for the measurement of humidity (HMW60U) and for the measurement of humidity and temperature (HMW60Y). The HMW60U/Y transmitters can be mounted directly on the wall. Thye are easy to install and maintain.
HMW60U/Y Transmitters Operating Manual U302en-1.1 TO BE NOTED WHEN MEASURING HUMIDITY In the measurement of humidity and especially in calibration, it is essential that the temperature equilibrium is reached. Even a slight difference in the temperature between the measured object and the sensor causes an error. For example, at +20 C (+ 68 F) and 50 %RH, a temperature difference of +1 C between the measured object and the sensor causes an error of +3 %RH.
HMW60U/Y Transmitters U302en-1.1 Operating Manual INSTALLATION Selecting the place of installation Select a place that gives a true picture of the environment or process and is as clean as possible. Air should circulate freely around the sensor. A rapid air flow is recommended as it ensures the same temperature for the ambient air and the sensor head.
