S S REGELTECHNIK AFTF-35 Humidity and Temperature Sensor
Condensation-protected on-wall sensor HYGRASREG® AFTF-35 with active and switching output, housing made of impact-resistant plastic with quick-locking screws, cable gland, plastic sinter filter (replaceable), optionally with ⁄ without display, for detecting relative humidity (0…100 % RH) and temperature (4 switchable measuring ranges, max. 0…+100 °C) as well as for determining various parameters of humidity measurement technology. The measuring transducer converts the measured variables into a standard signal of 0 – 10 V or 4…20 mA. The unit is specially designed for use in the high humidity range (95…99 % RH). A long-term stable, digital humidity and temperature sensor is used. Overtemperature prevents or hinders dew formation on the humidity sensor. A second, separate temperature measuring element is used to determine the actual relative humidity of the ambient air. The following measured variables are calculated internally from these parameters and are retrievable via output OUT3: absolute humidity, mixing ratio, dew point and wet bulb temperature (can be changed via DIP switch). The sensor is used in medical technology, refrigeration technology, control technology, air conditioning and clean room technology. The sensor is factory-calibrated; an environmental precision adjustment by an expert is possible

Installation and Commissioning
SUPPLY VOLTAGE :
For operating voltage reverse polarity protection, a one-way rectifier or
reverse polarity protection diode is integrated in this device variant. This
internal one-way rectifier on AC supply voltage. The output signal is to be
tapped by a measuring instrument. The output signal is measured her against
zero potential (O V) of the input voltage! When this device is operated on DC
supply voltage, the operating voltage input UB+ is to be used for 15…36 V DC
supply and UB – or GND for ground wire!
When several devices are supplied by one 24 V AC voltage supply, it is to be ensured that all ”positive“ operating voltage input terminals (+) of the field devices are connected with each other and all ”negative“ operating voltage input terminals (–) (= reference potential) are connected together (in-phase connection of field devices). All outputs of field devices must be referenced to the same potential! In case of reversed polarity at one field device, a supply voltage short-circuit would be caused by that device. The consequential short-circuit current flowing through this field device may cause damage to it. Therefore, pay attention to correct wiring

General notes
-
This unit must only be used in non-precipitating air without positive or negative pressure at the sensor element.
-
With outdoor and duct sensors, the sinter filter of the sensor element protects the humidity sensor against potential dust exposure. In case of contamination/soiling, this filter should be cleaned on a regular basis.
-
Dust and contamination distort measurement results and are to be avoided.
Small amounts of contamination and dust deposits can be removed using compressed air. – Touching the humidity element must be avoided under any circumstances, since this would result in serious measuring errors. -
In case of contamination, we recommend cleaning and recalibration in the factory.
-
Under no circumstances should the sensor come into contact with chemicals or other cleaning agents.
-
The relative humidity of 0 …100 % is represented by the output signal of 0 – 10 V. The operating range of the unit covers 10.0… 99 % RH, ; faulty measurements or increased deviations may occur outside that range.
-
When several sensors (0 – 10 V)are connected to one voltage supply of 24 V AC (alternating voltage), the correct polarity must be ensured as otherwise the alternating voltage source may be short-circuited.
-
The voltage outputs are short-circuit proof; applying overvoltage or voltage supply to the voltage output will destroy the unit.
-
If this unit is operated outside the specified range, all warranty claims are forfeited.
Our “General Terms and Conditions for Business“ together with the “General Conditions for the Supply of Products and Services of the Electrical and Electronics Industry“ (ZVEI conditions) including supplementary clause “Extended Retention of Title“ apply as the exclusive terms and conditions.
