Page 11: Product Overview
Chapter 2 – Product overview 2. Product overview 2.1 Vaisala HUMICAP Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP155 HMP155 measures relative humidity and air temperature. Humidity measurement on the sensor is based on the capacitive thin film polymer HUMICAP sensor. Temperature measurement is based on platinum resistance (Pt100) sensors. Both the humidity and temperature sensors are located at the tip of the probe, protected by a removable filter.

Page 19: Additional Temperature Probe Option
Chapter 2 – Product overview 2.4 Additional temperature probe option Figure 3 HMP155 with additional T‑probe The additional temperature probe is available for HMP155A and HMP155E. You can order the active output version of HMP155 with an additional temperature probe (T- probe). You can make relative humidity and additional temperature measurements with the additional T-probe, if you have a heated HMP155.
-
Page 20: Connection Cover Option
HMP155 User Guide M210912EN-D When you install HMP155 with the additional T-probe, make sure that the humidity probe and the T-probe are installed in the same conditions to get accurate readings. Even a slight difference in temperature conditions result in false RH readings. Install the probes so that the humidity probe does not heat the T-probe, but is close enough for the probes to share the same environment conditions.

CHAPTER 2
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and the product nomenclature of the Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP155.
Introduction to HMP155
The HMP155 probe provides reliable humidity and temperature measurement in a wide range of applications. Humidity measurement is based on the capacitive thin film HUMICAP® polymer sensor. Temperature measurement is based on resistive platinum sensors (Pt100). Both the humidity and temperature sensors are located at the tip of the probe, protected by a removable filter.
The HMP155 comes in active and passive output models where the relative humidity voltage output is similar, but the temperature output is either active or passive (resistive). Active output version has either two analog outputs or an RS-485 digital output. Passive output version has 4- wire temperature measurement and an analog voltage output for relative humidity measurement.
The quantities measured by HMP155 are presented in Table 3 below.
The quantities calculated from the measured quantities are presented in
Table 4 on page 12.
NOTE |
Calculated quantities are not available with the passive output version. |

—Different T-output scales possible: -40…+60°C, -20…+40°C, -80…+60°C (active output version)
—Chemical purge option for applications where interfering chemicals in the measuring environment pose a risk (active output version).
—Additional temperature probe (T-probe) with fast response (active output version).
—USB connectivity for service connections via the optional USB-M12 cable.
—Installation kits for an additional T-probe into DTR13 and DTR502 radiation shields.
—Installation kit for Stevenson screen (active and passive output version, both with and without additional T-probe).

Figure 2 HMP155 with Additional T-probe
The active output version of HMP155 can be ordered with an additional temperature probe option, see Figure 2 above. When the additional T- probe is in use, the relative humidity value is calculated based on the Td (dew point) value obtained from the humidity probe and the Ta value obtained from the T-probe.
When installing HMP155 with T-probe, it is important to make sure that the humidity probe and the T-probe are installed in the same conditions in order to get accurate readings. Even a slight difference in temperature conditions between the T-probe and the humidity probe will result in false RH readings. The two probes need to be installed so that the humidity probe does not heat the T-probe, but is close enough for the probes to share the same environment conditions. When the RH reading is required, always install the T-probe in the place where you need the reading from.

Chapter 2 __________________________________________________________ Product Overview
Warmed Probe Option
In changing temperature conditions with high humidity, the probe temperature can lag behind the temperature of the surrounding air and this can cause a risk of condensation on the sensor. A wet probe cannot observe the actual humidity in the ambient air. If the condensed water is contaminated, the life span of the probe may shorten and the calibration may change.
The HMP155 warmed probe is heated continuously so that its temperature is always higher than that of the environment. This prevents condensation on the probe. With the additional temperature probe it is possible to calculate the true RH based on the non-heated (ambient) temperature information. If the warming is selected but the additional temperature probe is not present, HMP155 only produces dew point and mixing ratio output.

INSTALLATION
This chapter provides you with information on how to install HMP155 in different situations.
Installation in Radiation Shields
In order to reach the maximum performance level of the HMP155 probe, Vaisala recommends installing the HMP155 in a radiation shield, for example in DTR503, in DTR13 or in a Stevenson screen. See Figure 4 below, Figure 5 on page 18 and Figure 6 on page 19.

8-Pin Connector
Both the passive and active versions of HMP155 come with an 8-pin
M12 male connector on the bottom of the probe.

Temporary RS-485 Connection Option
It is possible to have a temporary RS-485 connection also in the passive output version by powering up the probe, while simultaneously holding down the ADJ button, see Figure 13 on page 58. After the probe has restarted, pins 2 and 6 then have the RS-485 signal. For the order of the pins, see Figure 7 on page 20. The default signals are returned to the pins after the next power-up.
The active output version with two voltage channels includes also a solid RS-485 connection with dedicated signal pins that can be used as a temporary digital service port. However, Vaisala does not recommend the continuous, parallel use of both digital and analog outputs, because this may affect the temperature measurement accuracy due to increased power consumption and probe self-heating.

CHAPTER 4
OPERATION
This chapter contains information that is needed to operate this product.
Getting Started
After the Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP155 has been connected to a power supply, the serial line and the analog outputs are operational depending on product model.
RS-485 Interface
HMP155 supports a two-wire RS-485 communication. The RS-485 interface is non-isolated and offers a maximum communications rate of 19200 bits/s. There is no internal termination for the RS-485 on the HMP155. If any termination is needed, the bus should be terminated at both ends. The recommended termination is R termination with 120 Ohm resistors.
Typically the termination resistors are only needed when the fastest communications rate (19200 bit/s) is used for longer distances. If the resistors are used, the possible increase in current consumption should be taken into account.

Serial Line Communication
Connect the probe to a PC, for example, by using a USB cable (optional |
|||||
accessory item: 221040). Connect the USB cable to the 8-pin connector |
|||||
on the bottom of the probe. Before you can use the USB cable, you must |
|||||
install the provided USB driver on your PC, see Installing the Driver for |
|||||
the USB Cable on page 25. |
|||||
NOTE |
When using the USB-cable, no separate power unit is needed. The probe |
||||
is powered through the USB port. |
|||||
NOTE |
Heating and Purge functions may not work properly with the USB cable |
||||
due to limited USB powering capability. This depends on the computer |
|||||
used and environmental conditions. |
|||||
HMP155 does not echo typed characters back to the terminal screen. To |
|||||
see the commands you type, you need to enable the «local echo» -setting |
|||||
in your terminal program. |
|||||
A new command cannot be received while the instrument is sending data |
|||||
out. Wait until the instrument has completed its response before entering |
|||||
the next command. |
|||||
NOTE |
In the RUN mode, the instrument may send the measurement data |
||||
message while you are typing the S command to stop the sending. |
|||||
Therefore, you may need to repeat the S command. This must be noted |
|||||
especially when designing computer programs to access the HMP155. |
|||||
You can also use the Esc key on your keyboard to stop the sending. |
