Model HMP45C Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe

The temperature and relative humidity signals from the HMP45C can be
measured using a single-ended analog measurement or a differential analog
measurement.

Use a single-ended analog measurement when the HMP45C signal lead length
is less than 6.1 m (20 ft.) or if the probe will be turned on and off under
datalogger control between measurements. For lead lengths greater than 6.1 m
(20 ft.) or when the probe will be continuously powered, use a differential
analog measurement. For a discussion on errors caused by long lead lengths
see Section 6.

The HMP45C output scale is 0 to 1000 millivolts for the temperature range of
-40

°C to +60°C and for the relative humidity range of 0 to 100%. Tables 5-1

and 5-2 provide calibration information for temperature and relative humidity.
