ROTRONIC HC2-ROPCB OEM - Manual

HC2-ROPCB OEM
HC2-ROPCB OEM Humidity and Temperature module
Congratulations on your purchase of the OEM humidity and temperature module.
Please read these short instructions carefully before installing the device.
General description
The HC2-ROPCB OEM module measures precisely humidity and temperature. The measured
signals will be conditioned, and scaled according to the customer needs. There are two analogue
0…1 VDC output and one digital UART output.

Schematics
Sources of error
Measured values can be influenced by the following factors:
Temperature errors Adaptation time too short, cold outside wall, heating elements, sunlight, etc.
Humidity errors Steam, water spray, dripping water or condensation at the sensor, etc. Repea-
tability and long term stability are, however, not influenced by these factors even if the probe is
exposed to high humidity or saturation with steam (condensation) over a longer period of time.
Scaling / Adjustment / Firmware update
The following settings can be made with the help of the HW4 software and the service cable
AC3001-xx (needs to be soldered to the HC2-ROPCB)
• new scaling of the outputs
• adjustment
• firmware update
You will find more information on our web site at www.rotronic.com.
Periodic calibration of the modul
Both the Pt 100 RTD temperature sensor and the corresponding electronics are very stable and
do not normally need to be changed or calibrated after factory calibration. The long term stability
sensor is typically better than 1 %rh per year. For maximum accuracy we recommend calibration
of the probe about every six to 12 months. More frequent calibration can be necessary in appli-
cations where the sensor is exposed to pollutants. The calibration can be performed by the user
himself on site or in the laboratory / workshop. For routine calibrations the probe should be
checked at one or two points.
The electronics of the transmitter do not normally require calibration in the field. They can be
checked easily with the help of the probe simulator in the HW4 software package. The electro-
nics cannot be repaired in the field and should be returned to the manufacturer in the case of
problems. For details on calibration, please see the full version of the instruction manual, which
you can download from the internet.
