Caution
Installation site should be examined, giving careful consideration to the
following conditions.
This sensor is designed for indoor use only. Do not install outside.
[This instrument is intended to be used under the following environmental
conditions.]
- Free air flow
- A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases
- No flammable, explosive gases
- No mechanical vibrations or shocks
- No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of 0 to 50 (32 to 122 ) that does not change rapidly, and no icing
- An ambient non-condensing humidity of 5 to 90 %RH
- An absence of chlorinated and sulfidizing gases
- No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through which large current is flowing
- No water, oil, chemicals or the vapors of these substances can come into direct contact with the unit.
The 2-wire and 4-wire types of this sensor have internal heat generation due to their structure, and they are designed to minimize the effect. However, temperature errors may occur depending on the installation environment such as wind speed, power supply voltage, load resistance, temperature, and humidity. Please make corrections on the receiving instrument side according to the installation environment.
Inquiries
For any inquiries about this unit, please contact our agency or the vendor
where you purchased the unit after checking the model and serial number.
Please let us know the details of the malfunction, or discrepancy, and the
operating conditions.

Replacing Humidity Sensor (HD-S2)
Follow the procedure below to replace the humidity sensor (HD-S2).
-
Turn the power to the unit OFF, then remove the cover of the main unit.
-
Pull the humidity sensor (HD-S2) out from the socket.
-
Insert the new humidity sensor (HD-S2), with the model label facing downward.
[NOTE]
As the humidity sensor (HD-S2) is polarity sensitive, so be sure to insert the sensor correctly, otherwise the sensor will be broken, and measurement will be impossible.
Never disassemble the humidity sensor as it may lead to malfunction. -
Mount the main unit cover, then turn the power to the unit ON.
