Model HMP45C Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe
4. Wiring
Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers are given in Tables 4-1
through 4-3. The probe can be measured by two single-ended or differential
analog input channels.
When measuring the HMP45C with single-ended
measurements, the purple or white and black leads must
both be connected to AG on the CR10(X) and
CR500/CR510 or to
on the CR1000, CR5000, and
CR23X. Doing otherwise will connect the datalogger’s
analog and power ground planes to each other, which in
some cases can cause offsets on low-level analog
measurements. To avoid 4 mA flowing into analog ground,
switch the sensor on/off for its own measurement.
