About Room Humidity/Temperature Sensor
Room Humidity/Temperature Sensor is the most versatile room transmitter on the market. The stylish housing is well vented to provide air flow across the sensor to improve measurement accuracy. An optional LCD display can be integral to the transmitter or a remote display can be ordered for building balancing or LEED validation. The LCD display indicates the ambient temperature along with the humidity or dew point. The transmitter has internal dip switches to select the temperature engineering units and whether the transmitter outputs humidity or dew point. The humidity and temperature sensors are field replaceable to reduce service cost and inventory. The humidity and the dew point are measured using a capacitive polymer sensor that completely recovers from 100% saturation. The humidity and dew point can have either a current or voltage output, while the optional temperature output can be a current, voltage, RTD or thermistor. For models with current or voltage for the temperature output, the temperature range is field selectable.

The LED status indicator and terminal block interface improve installation efficiency.
Durable and Maintenance-Free DesignEncased in a robust, maintenance-free plastic housing, the sensor withstands a broad range of operating and storage temperatures, as well as standard room vibration. Its long-term stability, CE compliance, and IP30 rating make it a reliable choice for sustained indoor performance.
FAQ's of Room Humidity/Temperature Sensor:
Q: How is the Room Humidity/Temperature Sensor installed in indoor environments?
A: This sensor is wall-mounted using standard hardware and is designed for easy installation with a terminal block interface. It is suitable for placement in various indoor settings, such as homes, offices, and industrial spaces, typically at average room height for optimal measurement.
Q: What process does the sensor use to measure temperature and humidity accurately?
A: The device employs a capacitive humidity sensor and a precision temperature sensor to continuously monitor ambient conditions. With a sampling rate of every 2 seconds and rapid response times, it provides up-to-the-minute readings with high accuracy and minimal drift.
Q: When should I use this sensor in my building automation or HVAC systems?
A: The sensor is ideal for integration whenever precise control of room climate is needed, such as in HVAC regulation, automated building climate systems, and environments requiring consistent temperature and humidity levels. It can be installed during new systems setup or retrofitted into existing infrastructures.
Q: Where can this humidity/temperature sensor be used most effectively?
A: Best suited for indoor rooms in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, this sensor is tailored for areas within its operating temperature (-20C to +60C) and humidity (0-100% RH) range. It is particularly valuable in places with strict climate control requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of using a sensor with no local display but with LED indicators?
A: The absence of a local display reduces potential points of failure and simplifies maintenance, while the integrated LED status indicator provides at-a-glance operation status. All measurements are transmitted to building management or HVAC systems, allowing centralized monitoring and control.
Q: How does the humidity recovery and response time enhance the sensor's performance?
A: With a humidity recovery time of less than 20 seconds after saturation and a response time of under 10 seconds for humidity and under 5 seconds for temperature, the sensor ensures rapid adaptation to environmental changes, facilitating efficient climate control and protection of sensitive environments.
