2. Product Overview

2.1 Introduction to HMT130

Vaisala HMT130 Series HUMICAPâ Humidity and Temperature Transmitters measure relative

humidity and temperature and outputs the measurements to voltage outputs and RS-485.

Other quantities, such as dewpoint (T

) can be calculated from the basic RH and T values

according to the device conﬁguration. HMT130 is powered with a 10 ... 35 VDC or a 24 VAC

supply (15 ... 35 VDC or 24 VAC required when using 0 ... 10 V output). It outputs two analog

voltage signals with nominal 0 ... 10 V range. HMT130 has also an RS-485 digital interface and a

relay.

HMT130 transmitter's output quantities are

conﬁgurable. Available quantities for outputs are

limited to two at the time. These two quantities can be used freely at any outputs (display,

service port and voltage outputs).

Available quantities are RH, T, T

, T

d/f

, a, x, h, T

, p

, and p

The default output quantities are set at the factory during order time. These factory preset

quantity selections can be changed afterwards via service port if necessary.

The HMT130T and HMT130H models are single-parameter transmitters. The only output

quantity of HMT130T is temperature. The output of the HMT130H can be

conﬁgured to be any

one of the humidity-related quantities (RH, T

, T

d/f

, a, x, h, T

, p

and p

Vaisala Relative Humidity Measurement Instruments

The Vaisala range of relative humidity measurement instruments covers all the applications

from ventilation to process control in demanding conditions. For more information about other

Vaisala relative humidity instruments, please contact your Vaisala representative or visit

www.vaisala.com.

2.2

Accessories

The following accessories are optionally available:

• Duct installation kit

• Rain shield with installation kit

• Rain/solar radiation shield installation kit (for pole installation)

• Probe mounting

ﬂange

• Probe mounting clamp

• Constant output probe (HMP1100REF, gives constant RH and T values)

Chapter 2 – Product Overview

2.3 Fixed and Remote Probe Models

The transmitter is available either with a ﬁxed probe directly attached to the transmitter

housing or a remote probe with dierent (3/5/10/20 m) cable lengths. All extension cables

can be easily cascaded in order to obtain longer reach: see Spare Parts and Accessories

(page 79).

2.4 Optional Display

The transmitter is also available with an optional graphical 128*64 pixel resolution LCD display.

The display shows the measurement results of selected parameters in selected units (deﬁned

when ordering the transmitter). The parameters are displayed simultaneously on two separate

rows on the display.

2.5 Interchangeable Probe

The HMP110 relative humidity probe used in the transmitter is fully interchangeable. You can

easily remove the probe and replace it with a new one without having to adjust the transmitter.

You have the following options when purchasing a new probe from 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. Compatible probes have the letter "V" as the ﬁrst letter in their

order code. The order code is written on the probe.

2.6 Constant Output Probe

The constant output probe HMP110REF is a testing accessory that can be used to check

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.

The values output by the constant output probe are

speciﬁed when ordering. These values are

written on an additional label on the probe body.

The procedure for using the constant output probe is simply to replace the original probe for

the duration of the testing:

1. Disconnect the normal probe from transmitter.

2. Connect the constant output probe to the transmitter.

3. Check that all used outputs (analog, display, serial line) show the correct measurement

values.

4. After checking the outputs, disconnect the constant output probe and reconnect the

original probe.

HMT130 User Guide M211280EN-C

The transmitter goes to the error state for a short time when the probe is

changed. This is normal.

2.8 Safety

The transmitter delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as shipped from the

factory. Note the following precautions:

Do not modify the unit or use it in ways not described in the

documentation. Improper modiﬁcation may lead to safety hazards, equipment

damage, failure to perform according to speciﬁcation, or decreased equipment

lifetime.

CAUTION!

2.8.1 ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to electronic circuits.

Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. It is possible to

damage the product, however, by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,

removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.

To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:

• Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench.

• When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the equipment chassis with a

wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.

• If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a conductive part of the

equipment chassis with your other hand before touching ESD sensitive components.

• Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the component

contacts.

2.9

Regulatory Compliances

Vaisala HUMICAPâ Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series HMT130 is in conformity with

the provisions of the following EU directives:

• EMC-Directive (2004/108/EC)

Conformity is shown by compliance with the following standards:

• EN 61326-1: Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use – EMC

requirements – for use in industrial locations.

• EN 55022 + Am1: Information technology equipment – Radio disturbance characteristics –

Limits and methods of measurement.

Chapter 3 – Installation

3.2 Wall Mounting

To mount the transmitter on a wall:

1. Remove the transmitter cover.

2. Make sure that the transmitter is correctly aligned and attach it directly to the wall with up

to four screws (not included in the package). Figure 3 (page 14) shows the distances

between attachment points.

It is possible to damage the display when tightening the

screws, as there is not much room between the upper fastening holes and

the exposed display component. Be particularly careful when using a

cordless drill.

CAUTION!

Figure 3 Wall Mounting Measurements

Select the size and type of the fastening screws according to the wall

material (for example, wood or stone). Even though using all four screws is

strongly recommended, the transmitter enclosure fastening holes are initially

covered with a thin plastic membrane, so less than four screws could be also

be used without sacriﬁcing the ingress protection (IP) class of the enclosure.

The diameter of the fastening screws is typically between 3.5 and 4 mm.
