CALIBRATION
The transmitter software also includes
a procedure for calibrating the
relative humidity and temperature.
The calibration can be done either
by making a fast one-point adjust-
ment in the field against a reliable
reference instrument, such as Vaisala's
humidity data processor HMI38, or a
two-point calibration in a controlled
environment e.g. with a salt bath
calibrator such as Vaisala's HMK15
calibrator.
The calibration interval depends on
the application where the transmitter
is used. In normal conditions
calibration once year is
recommended.
TRANSMITTER PROTECTION
The housing of the HMP230
transmitters is made of aluminium
which provides IP 65 protection
from dust and sprayed water.
The housing also provides protection
from electromagnetic interference.
The cables used are all protected from
electromagnetic interference either to
3 V/m or 10 V/m. However, the
electromagnetic compatibility of the
sensor heads depends on the filters
fitted. See General Techical
Information for all cable/filter
combinations.
CONFIGURED TO YOUR
REQUIREMENTS
The HMP230 transmitters are
extremely flexible products which can
be configured in many ways – both
in hardware and software. They are
manufactured on a production line
where they are configured to the
customer requirements. The user does
not need to change any transmitter
settings when installing the
instrument unless the application has
chang-ed in some way. If so, the
settings of the HMP230 transmitters
are easy to change even in the field.
SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
MADE EASY
The HMP230 transmitters have
several output variables to choose
from. They, like the other settings,
are easy to change. Selecting, scaling
and calibrating the analogue output
signals and parameters can be done
in a few minutes using simple
software commands.
This can be done by using the
menus on the local display or with a
PC or terminal connected to the
transmitters’ serial bus.
The microprocessor-based transmit-
ters measure the relative humidity
and temperature. From these two
measurements other variables –
dewpoint temperature, wet bulb
temperature, absolute humidity,
mixing ratio and enthalpy – can be
calculated depending on the
transmitter version. The transmitters
have two analogue output channels
and any two of the seven measured
or calculated variables can be selected
as output signals.
The measurement ranges and the
output signals can be selected and
scaled within certain limits which
depend on the maximum
measurement range. For example, the
standard temperature measurement
range of the HMP235 is
-40...+180 °C, but it can easily be
scaled so that -20...+100 °C
corresponds to 0...20 mA or any
other output signal.
