RH-1000Date of Issue: 31/08/2012Issue Number: 5.5Page 4 of 5Warning:Relative humidity transmitters are sensitive electronic devices and care should be taken at all times to ensure that they are notexposed to extreme ambient conditions or incorrect electrical connection. Transmitters should not be exposed to directmoisture contact (e.g. rain) and saturation of the transmitter at very high humidity should be avoided wherever possible.Connections:Left Hand terminal Block:Right Hand Terminal Block (if -T option is selected);24V Supply + 24Vac or Vdc (see note below) T2 Direct thermistor output onlyGND Supply 0V (other half of OP1 if J11 is set to T)OP1 Temperature output (see J11 settings) MS1 Momentary switch VFC outputOP2 RH output MS2 Momentary switch VFC outputGND Common 0v P5* Set pointOP3 Not used P6* Set point, wiperGND Common 0V P7* Set pointOVRD 0-10Vdc input to indicate occupancy or override. FS2 Fan speed switch output, resistiveNote: that this can only be used if voltage output FS1 Fan speed switch output, resistiveis used, as it needs a common 0VNotes:* 2-wire 11-1kΩ output is required use terminals P6 and P72-wire 0-10kΩ output is required, use terminals P5 and P6Direct thermistor output (if fitted) is between terminals OP1 and T2, polarity is independent.Voltage outputCurrent outputNominal voltage 24Vac/dc.If using in current output mode, the sensor must only be used with a 24Vdc supply. The sensor may bedamaged if supplied with AC. Please see note in section 9 on previous page regarding connections.Jumper Settings:J10If the outputs are set to voltage (by putting jumpers J1, J2 and J3 in the “V” position), the output can be set to either0-10Vdc or 0-5Vdc;J1, J2, J3These set the outputs to either voltage of current, V for voltage, I for currentJ11Selects either active temperature output (current or voltage) or direct thermistor.OP1 = active temperature outputT = direct thermistorTel: +44 (0) 1732 861200. - E-mail: sales@sontay.com. - Web: www.sontay.com.© 2012 Sontay Limited.

Only in this way can speed of responseand temperature factors be eliminated. It is not uncommon for test instruments and transmitters to disagree by 10% RH ormore when site measurements are taken incorrectly. ‘Slings’ or other mechanical hygrometer should not be used as areference.Tel: +44 (0) 1732 861200. - E-mail: sales@sontay.com. - Web: www.sontay.com.© 2012 Sontay Limited.

RH-1000Date of Issue: 31/08/2012Issue Number: 5.5Page 6 of 5Psychrometric Formulae:It is possible using the humidity and temperature outputs to calculate Enthalpy, Dewpoint and Absolute Humidity using thecalculations below;Enthalpy [kJ/kg]= (((0.622 * (610.78 * EXP(T db / (T db + 238.3) * 17.2694) / (100/RH))) / (101300 - 610.78 * EXP(T db / (T db + 238.3)* 17.2694) / (100/RH))) * (2501 + (1.84 * T db ))) + (1.007 * T db ) - 0.026)Dew Point [°C]= (LN(((610.78 * EXP(T db /( T db +238.3) * 17.2694)) / (100/RH)) / 610.78)) * (238.3/(17.294 - (LN(((610.78 *EXP(T db /( T db + 238.3) * 17.2694)) / (100/RH)) / 610.78))))Absolute Humidity [g/m³]= (((0.000002 * T db ^4) + (0.0002 * T db ^3) + (0.0095 * T db ^2) + (0.337 * T db) + 4.9034) * RH/100)Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this specification, Sontay cannot accept responsibility for damage, injury,loss or expense from errors or omissions.
