6. After selecting the sensor, click at the left of the screen on

Wiring

Diagram to see how the sensor is to be wired to the datalogger. The

wiring diagram can be printed out now or after more sensors are

added.

7. Select any other sensors you have, then finish the remaining Short Cut

steps to complete the program. The remaining steps are outlined in

Short Cut Help, which is accessed by clicking on

Programming Steps.

8. If LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W is running on your PC,

and the PC to datalogger connection is active, you can click

Finish in

Short Cut and you will be prompted to send the program just created

to the datalogger.

9. If the sensor is connected to the datalogger, as shown in the wiring

diagram in step 6, check the output of the sensor in the datalogger

support software data display to make sure it is making reasonable

measurements.

5. Overview

The HMP155A Temperature and Relative Humidity probe contains a Platinum

Resistance Temperature detector (PRT) and a Vaisala HUMICAP

180

capacitive relative humidity sensor.

The HMP155A outputs a 0 to 1 Vdc signal for temperature and relative

humidity that can be measured by all models of Campbell Scientific

dataloggers with model HMP155ACBL1 cable. The HMP155A also has

RS-485 outputs for temperature and relative humidity that can be interfaced to

the CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR3000 dataloggers using model

HMP155ACBL2 cable and the SDM-SIO1 Serial I/O Module (Appendix C,

Interfacing with HMP155A RS-485 Output). The RS-485 outputs has a higher

current drain than that listed in the specifications.

The HMP155A can be powered continuously or the power may be switched to

conserve battery life. The HMP155A consumes less than 3 milliamperes
