decreasing more rapidly; atmospheric pressure now lower

Display Alarms
Provides two independently configurable alarms
The configuration can only be done using the display/keypad option
The alarms can be configured for any quantity supported by the transmitter.
Each alarm tracks a selected quantity, with freely configurable limit values
Each alarm has a configurable hysteresis value to prevent unnecessary
triggering when the measurement fluctuates around an alarm limit
You can have the alarm activate inside or outside the specified range by
setting the limits correctly
Activated alarms are only shown on the screen; there are no alarm messages
output to the serial line. You may use the optional relay outputs as alarm
outputs by configuring them separately
When an alarm is activated, an alarm note is
displayed on the display, and the lights of the
display will blink. If the data logger module is
installed, the alarm note includes the time and
date of the alarm.
The alarm limits are shown on the
graph display as thicker dotted lines.

Chemical purge
The sensor gain may decrease gradually due to an interference

caused by a particular chemical present in the measured gas
The sensor polymer absorbs the interfering chemical, and this reduces
the ability of the polymer to absorb water molecules. Consequently,
the sensor gain decreases.
Heating the humidity sensor to a temperature level of approximately
+160 °C for several minutes evaporates the interfering chemical.
Starts with heating stage, continues with
settling and when the temperature of the
Polymer sensor
sensor is decreased the transmitter returns
to normal mode
NOTE Function locks the output values for
PT-100
about 6 minutes. Normal operation
resumes apr 2 min later.

Warmed Probe Technology
Vaisala HUMICAP® sensor
Ambient: RHa, Ta , Tda Heating element

inside the probe
Conditions inside the

probe: RHs , Ts , Tda
Ambient: Ta = 14 °C Humidity sensor: Ts = 16 °C

RHa = 97 %RH RHs = 83 %RH
Tda = 13 °C Tda = 13 °C (calculated)
NOTE! The heating does not effect in dewpoint!

The ambient temperature is measured with separate T-probe!

Temperature measurement ranges
Operating temperature range for PTU300 housing and

presssure:
-40...+60 °C (-40...+140 °F)
Operating temperature range for the probes (same as with
HMT330 series)
PTU301 -40 ... +60 °C (-40 ... +140 °F)
PTU303 -40 ... +80 °C (-40 ... +176 °F)
PTU307 -70 ... +180 °C (-94 ... +356 °F)

Optional modules: Relay
A relay module contains two

configurable relays
A relay monitors the quantity
chosen for the relay output. Any
of the quantities available can be
chosen
Relay state examples

Relay output module, RELAY-1

Measurement-Based Relay
Output Modes
When the measured value is in
between the "above" and "below"
values, the relay is passive.
When choosing lower value as
"above" value and higher value as
"below" value, the relay is passive
when the measured value is not
between the setpoints. You can
also set only one setpoint. Different measurement-
based relay output modes.

Relay Indicating
Transmitter Error Status
You can set a relay to follow the
operation status of the device
By selecting FAULT/ONLINE
STATUS for output quantity a
relay changes state on the basis
of the operation
FAULT/ONLINE STATUS
relays are usually used in
conjunction with an analog
output to obtain validity
information for the output value.

Optional modules: LAN Interface Module
The optional LAN interface enables an Ethernet
connection to the transmitter.
The user can establish a virtual terminal session
using a Telnet client program such as PuTTY or
by using Modbus TCP protocol.
When the LAN interface is in use, serial
communication using the RS-232 User Port is
disabled
The LAN interface can use both static and
dynamic network settings. If the interface is
configured to use dynamic settings, the network
where the LAN interface is connected must have

Optional modules: WLAN
The optional WLAN interface

enables a wireless Ethernet
connection (IEEE 802.11b) to the
transmitter
The user can establish a virtual
terminal session using a Telnet
client program such as PuTTY or
by using Modbus TCP protocol
When the WLAN interface is in WLAN module
use, serial communication using
the RS-232 User Port is disabled

Optional modules: RS-422/485
The RS-422/485 interface enables

communication between an RS-485
network and the PTU300 transmitter
Note! RS-232 User Port on PTU300 main

board cannot be used and connected
when RS-485 module is connected.
Service port operates normally.
Isolated 485 Module,
RS485-1

Optional data logger module
Provides 4 years and 5 months of storage for 4

parameters at a 10-second sampling interval. When the
memory is full, the oldest data is overwritten.
The quantities that are logged are the same that have
been selected for measurement
Minimum and maximum values and averaged data trend
Contains a real time clock with a battery back-up. The
data that is stored in the logger's memory is time
stamped using the logger's clock.

Aviation related pressure
Barometric pressure is very important in aviation

QFE = airplane altimeter read zero when at the runway threshold
QNH = airplane altimeter read airfield elevation at the runway
threshold
HCP is height corrected pressure
Page 29 / 6/26/2015 / SANL/ ©Vaisala

Altitude compensated pressure
variables QNH and QFE
QNH - subscale setting to give altitude above sea level
Q code pressure setting used by pilots and air traffic control (ATC) to
refer to the barometric altimeter setting which will cause an altimeter to
read the altitude above mean sea level at that point
airport QNH will cause the altimeter to read runway elevation on landing
irrespective of the temperature
The valid range of QNH height is -30 to +3000 m.
QFE - subscale setting to give height above runway
Q code used by pilots and air traffic control (ATC) to refer to the
barometric altimeter setting which will cause an altimeter to read height
above the official reference data for a particular runway
altimeter set to QFE will therefore read zero when on the ground at the
beginning of the runway
The valid range of QFE height is -30 to +30 m.
