INSTALLATION
General Instructions
NOTE Mounting Probe Cable in Gas
Group IIC Spaces
The following applies only to installation within the EU!
The following instructions shall be followed to fulfil the

specifications of the EN 50284 for non conductive layer of the probe
cable:
- Never mount or handle the probe cable when hazardous gases are
present.
- For achieving a conductive shield, cover the probe cable with
conductive material like metal or conductive tape or mount the
probe cable in a metal conduit.
- Assure that the conductive shield fulfils requirements of the
standard EN50284 (resistance less than 1 GΩ) and make sure that it
can not come loose in any operation situation.
NOTE During the installation work of the sensor heads in gas group IIC
areas (requiring category I devices), it has to be guaranteed that even
in fault cases sparks generated by impacts or friction on the surface of
the housing can never occur.
VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 17
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
Selecting Location
Select a place with stable conditions for mounting the transmitter. Do
not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight or rain. A rain shield for
HMT360 transmitter is available. When mounting the sensor head,
select a place representing the process conditions.
Temperature Differences
If there is a difference between the process and ambient temperatures,
it is recommended to mount the sensor head and at least one meter of
cable inside the process. This is to avoid incorrect relative humidity
readings due to temperature difference. If this installation is not
possible and the sensor head must be installed through the wall (for
example, with a flange), the sensor head and the cable must be
insulated carefully.
Checking Temperature Reading

The actual temperature of the process can be measured with a
reference instrument to be compared with the transmitter reading. The
heat transfer is less evident if you remove the protective filter of the
sensor for a short-term test. However, never use the sensor long
periods without the filter as this may cause a faster contamination of
the sensor. The transmitter fulfils the specified EMC regulations with
the protective filter on the sensor head.

HMP368 Probe For Measuring

Humidity in Pressurized Pipelines
or Moisture in Liquids
The HMP368 probe is available with two lengths, standard 178 mm
and optional 400 mm. The probe is provided with a sliding fit which
enables different installation depths and makes the installation and
removal easier in pressurized processes. The probe is specially
designed for the measurements in pipelines. This probe is also
available for dewpoint measurements in natural gas.
When the probe is used in a pressurized pipeline or in liquids (for

example, feeder routes) the sensor head should preferably be installed
directly in the process through a ball valve assembly, see page 30.
CAUTION In pressurized processed it is essential to tighten the supporting nuts

action of pressure.
- When the HMP368 is installed in a process with a pressure

NOTE differing from normal atmospheric pressure, please enter the
pressure value of the process (in hPa or mbar) into the transmitter
memory via the serial line (see page 59) or via the display/keypad
(see page 47).
- Make sure that the temperature at the measurement point is equal
to that of the process, otherwise the humidity reading may be
incorrect.

Installing Sensor Head Through

Ball Valve Assembly
The best way for installing the sensor head to pressurized process or
pipeline is to install it through the ball valve assembly. This
installation makes it unnecessary to empty or shut down the process
for installing or removing the sensor head. Use the Vaisala
DMP248BVS ball valve set or a 1/2" ball valve assembly with a ball

order code: 25905ZZ). Connect one end of the cable to the serial port
of your computer and the other to the connector marked "RS 232C" on
the electronics unit of the transmitter (see Figure 4, item 9).
NOTE With serial communication the current consumption increases

approximately to 7 mA and the transmitter is not able to operate with
4 mA. Therefore, it is recommended to use serial communication
only temporarily for changing settings or for calibrating the
transmitter in a safe area. With serial port, the minimum supply
voltage is 15 VDC.
NOTE The transmitter incorporates a serial interface detector. However, not

all terminals or PC serial ports (for example, optoisolated or ports not
meeting RS232C standards) recognize this standard. If the
communication is not possible via a serial interface, use a forced
activation by pressing simultaneously buttons ▲ and E on the
transmitter cover. To deactivate the forced activation, press these
buttons again or reset the transmitter. If the transmitter does not
receive any commands for half an hour, it automatically closes the

MEASURING AT OVERPRESSURE
The probes HMP362, HMP364 and HMP368 are designed for

humidity measurement at overpressure. The maximum measurement
pressures depend on the probe as follows:
HMP362: 0 ... 167 bar (16,7 MPa), for natural gas, sample cell
HMP302SC available
HMP364: 0 ... 100 bar (10 MPa), for pressurized rooms and
processes, probe is provided with a nut, fitting screw and
sealing washer
HMP368: 0 ... 40 bar (4 MPa), for pressurized pipelines, ball valve

set available
The accuracy of the dewpoint measurement is affected by pressure in

the measurement chamber. The actual pressure in the sampling cell
shall be set to the transmitter by using the serial line command PRES
(PRES Setting Ambient Pressure for Calculations, page 59 or by using
the keypad commands, page 47).
Pressure Regulator Recommended

When sampling pressurized processes exceeding the maximum
measurement pressure of the probe, the pressure in the measurement
chamber must be regulated to acceptable level or below. It is
recommended to use pressure regulator before the measurement
chamber to prevent remarkable pressure variations.

Qmax = Value corresponding to 20 mA
Example 1:
Relative humidity scaling 0 - 100 %RH, reference 11.3 %RH:
(11.3 %RH - 0 %RH)

I = 4 mA + 16 mA ⋅ = 5.808 mA (2)
(100 %RH - 0 %RH)
Example 2:
Temperature scaling -40 - +120 °C, reference 22.3 °C:
(22.3 º C - 40 º C)
I = 4 mA + 16 mA ⋅ = 10.230 mA (3)

Relative Humidity Calibration
Automatic Two-Point Calibration

(Only with HMT360 with Display)
The automatic calibration procedure is a user friendly way to calibrate
with salt solutions; user do not have to feed the reference values to the
HMT360. The transmitter displays the accurate value based on the
measured temperature and the Greenspan table stored into the
transmitter memory. The display chart of the calibration procedure is
presented in Figure 24 Display Chart of the Automatic Calibration
Procedure.
- Set the calibration DIP switch to ENABLED position and select RH

calibration by using switches 3 and 4 (see Chapter 5 DIP Switch
Functions on page 42).
- Remove the filter and insert the probe head into a measurement
hole of the LiCl salt chamber in the humidity calibrator.
Acknowledge by pressing the button E. Alternatively select the 0.1
(humidity in nitrogen) with buttons ▲ and ▼. Acknowledge with
the button E.
- The transmitter remains to wait for the process stabilization (10-15
min) and then stores the correction.
- Insert the probe head into a measurement hole of the NaCl salt
chamber in the humidity calibrator. Acknowledge by pressing the
button E. Alternatively you can select K2SO4 value with buttons
▲ and ▼.
- The transmitter remains to wait for the stabilization and then stores
the correction. The text CAL PASS is displayed after the calibration
is performed.

Low End Adjustment

- Remove the filter and insert the probe head into a measurement
hole of the dry end reference chamber (for example LiCl: 11 %RH)
in the humidity calibrator.
NOTE If you use serial commands, please refer to page 56.
- Set the calibration DIP switch 2 to ENABLED (up) position and

select RH calibration by using switches 3 and 4 (see Chapter 5 DIP
Switch Functions on page 42).
- Press button C to ignore the automatic calibration procedure. The
humidity reading measured by the transmitter appears on the
display and on the lower left corner you can see the text SET LO. If
the transmitter has no display, the LED indicator is blinking.
- According to the calibrator used, wait at least 10-15 minutes for the
sensor to stabilize; use a multimeter or the transmitter display to
monitor the stabilization.
- Press the buttons ▲ and ▼ to adjust the display reading or
multimeter reading to correspond the reference value (when using a
multimeter calculate the current value corresponding to the
reference humidity by using the equations presented in page 66).
Press the button E to conclude the low end adjustment.
- If the low end adjustment is sufficient, press the button E again to
conclude the calibration and restore the DIP switch settings; set the
calibration DIP switch to position DISABLED (down). To continue
with the high end adjustment follow the instructions in next
chapter.

High End Adjustment (Two-Point Calibration)

- After having made the low end adjustment, insert the probe head
into a measurement hole of the NaCl (75 %RH) salt chamber in the
humidity calibrator. Please, note that the difference between the
two humidity references must be at least 30 %RH.
- The readings measured by the transmitter appear on the display, as

well as the text, SET HI on the lower left hand corner. If the
transmitter has no display, the LED indicator lights up.
- Wait at least 10 - 15 minutes for the sensor to stabilize; use a
multimeter or the transmitter display to monitor the stabilization.
- Press the buttons ▲ and ▼ to adjust the display or multimeter
reading (when using a multimeter calculate the current value
corresponding to the reference humidity by using the equations
presented in page 66) and conclude the calibration with the button
E.
- Restore the DIP switch settings. Set the calibration DIP switch to
position DISABLED (down).
