S S REGELTECHNIK ESFTF-U Screw In Humidity and Temperature Sensor
Product Information
The product is a screw-in humidity and temperature sensor designed for pressure systems. It can measure various parameters including mixing ratio, relative/absolute humidity, dew point, and temperature. The sensor is calibratable and features multi-range switching and active output. It also comes with a replaceable metal sinter filter for protection.
Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure correct voltage supply: The sensor operates on a voltage supply of 15-36V DC.
- Mounting and Installation: Follow the provided wiring diagram to correctly connect the sensor. Pay attention to the correct wiring and ensure proper grounding.
- Calibration: If required, calibrate the sensor according to the provided instructions.
- Measurement Range: The sensor can measure humidity and temperature within a specific range. The range can be adjusted using the DIP switches on the sensor. Refer to the user manual for the default range and instructions on how to change it.
- Data Output: The sensor provides output signals for humidity and temperature. The output can be either 4-20 mA or 0-10V, depending on the selected variant. Connect the output signals to the appropriate devices or systems.
- Display (Optional): If equipped with an LCD display, the sensor can provide visual information regarding the measured parameters. Refer to the user manual for the display’s part number and additional instructions.
Note: For detailed installation and operational instructions, refer to the complete user manual provided with the product.
Screw-in humidity and temperature sensor for pressure systems, mixing ratio, relative/absolute humidity, dew point and temperature, calibratable, with multi-range switching and active output
Introduction
- Calibratable screw-in sensor HYGRASGARD® ESFTF in a housing made of impact-resistant plastic with quick-locking screws, with cable gland (optional M12 connector as per DIN EN 61076-2-101), duct tube with thread (G1/2“) and metal sinter filter (replaceable).
- The sensor is used for detecting the relative humidity (0…100 % RH) and the temperature (4 switchable measuring ranges) in compressed air lines up to max. 10 bar. The measuring transducer converts the measured values into a standard signal of 4…20 mA or 0 – 10 V. Further parameters are calculated internally from the measured values, that are retrievable via the humidity output: absolute humidity, mixing ratio, and dew point temperature (can be changed via DIP switch).
- Furthermore, the unit boasts a sensor protection function for high humidity (95…99 % RH).
- The measuring element is heated automatically in the critical range and thus protected against condensation.
- The sensor is factory-calibrated; an environmental precision adjustment by an expert is possible.
- It must be installed vertically with the humidity sensor pointing downwards.

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!
