Introduction

ENVIROsense is an environmental temperature, relative humidity and, optionally, bar-ometric pressure transmitter with RS485 Modbus-RTU output.
Two optional additional 0…1 V, 0…5 V or 0…10 V (depending on model) analog outputs for temperature and relative humidity or dew point, with configurable temperature and humidity ranges.

Many calculated humidity quantities available:

• Dew point
• Wet bulb temperature
• Absolute humidity
• Mixing ratio
• Specific enthalpy
• Water vapour partial pressure
• Specific humidity
• Frost point temperature
• Saturation vapour pressure above water
• Saturation vapour pressure above ice

Rugged ∅14 mm compact housing in PBT. Optional protection shield from solar radiations for outdoor applications.
The transmitter is supplied factory-calibrated in multiple points for relative humidity, and it is ready to use. The transmitter can be optionally supplied with an ISO/IEC 17025 cali-bration certificate.

The different models differ in the presence or absence of the optional barometric sensor and analog outputs, in the different power supply voltage range and in the different ap-plication field:

Fig. 3.2: electrical connections

RS485 output:
Before connecting the transmitter to the RS485 network, set the address and the communication parameters, if different from the factory preset (see “Configuration” chapter). The output is not isolated.

Analog outputs:
The load resistance RL must be ≥ 100 kΩ. In the event of an anomaly in the measurement (detected measurement outside the measuring range), the output goes to a value 10% higher than the full scale (e.g., 11 V if the output is 0…10 V).

Configuration

The configuration of the transmitter can be done:

• By sending serial commands from a PC, via a standard communication program (see the chapter “ASCII proprietary protocol”).
• Via the “Holding Registers” in Modbus-RTU mode (see the chapter “Modbus-RTU protocol”).

Analog outputs (optional):
By default, the analog outputs correspond to the measuring ranges 0…100% RH and -40…+80 °C.

It is possible:

• to associate the analog outputs with different relative humidity and temperature ranges, within the full measuring range;
• to associate the humidity analog output with dew point, instead of relative humidity.
• to reverse the direction of the output, so that the output decreases as the measurement increases.

Connection to PC:
To connect the transmitter to a PC USB port, to check or change the configuration, the CP24B-5 (5-pole) or CP24B-8 (8-pole) optional cables can be used, which also allow the pyranometer to be powered via the USB port.
To use the CP24B-x cables, the related USB drivers must be installed in the PC.
Alternatively, it is possible to use a standard RS485/USB or RS485/RS232 converter, powering the transmitter separately (respecting the minimum supply voltage of the transmitter).

Calibration:
The transmitter is supplied factory-calibrated. The user can perform a new relative hu-midity calibration using CRHx serial commands (see the chapter “ASCII proprietary pro-tocol”) or the appropriate Modbus “Holding Registers” (see the chapter “Modbus-RTU protocol”).
The transmitter provides information on the last five relative humidity user calibrations performed (only ASCII proprietary protocol).
In case of incorrect calibration, it is always possible to restore the factory calibration.

ASCII proprietary protocol

To communicate with the transmitter via the ASCII proprietary protocol:

1. Connect the transmitter to the PC and start a standard serial communication pro-gram.

2. In the serial communication program, set the Baud Rate 57600, the parameters 8N2 and the COM port number to which the transmitter is connected.

3. Power the transmitter (or power cycle if already powered) and send the command @ within 10 seconds from the instrument power on (the transmitter replies &| if the command @ is recognized).
   Note: if the CP24B-x cable is used, to power cycle the transmitter, disconnect the cable for a few seconds from the PC USB port, then reconnect it.

4. Send the command CAL USER (the transmitter replies USER ON|) to enable the configuration change. The command CAL USER is not required only for reading the settings.

5. Send the commands described in the tables below.

After the configuration is complete, the command CAL USER can be disabled by sending the command CAL EXIT.

Note:
If the possibility to access the ASCII proprietary protocol in the first 10 seconds has been disabled (see WCT serial command), to access the protocol, it is necessary to re-enable, via Modbus protocol, the wait for the @ command in the first 10 seconds by writing 1 in the holding register with address 82 (after writing the user password in the holding register with address 30002) and power cycling the transmitter.

Transmitter general information:

User code:
The user code is an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters that the user can set to identify the transmitter with a mnemonic name.

Enabling/disabling the wait for the @ command at power up:

§  Disabled if n=0

§  Enabled if n=1

Default : Enabled (n=1)

RCT| RCT;n| Reads the enabling status of the 10-second wait for the @ command at power up.

Disabling the first 10 seconds, and thus immediately activating the Modbus-RTU proto-col, is useful when the instrument is used in ON/OFF mode with the Modbus-RTU pro-tocol, to limit power consumption (it is powered only for the time necessary to acquire the measurement). With the first 10 seconds disabled, the measurements are available 5 seconds after power up.

Modbus-RTU protocol

By default, the transmitter has Modbus address 1 and communication parameters 19200, 8E1. The address and the communication parameters can be changed by using the appropriate serial commands of the proprietary protocol or, alternatively, directly with Modbus commands by changing the value of the Holding Registers described later.
By default, the Modbus-RTU protocol is activated after 10 seconds from the transmitter power on. It is possible to disable the first 10 seconds of waiting using the holding register with address 82 or the command WCT of the ASCII proprietary protocol.
To change the Holding Registers values, it is first necessary to enable the writing by entering the appropriate value in the register with address 30002 (see the description of the register in the Holding Registers table).
Below is the list of registers.

Notes on the registers format:

1. To read a 32-bit integer value, two consecutive registers starting from the one indicated must be accessed. The register with lower address contains the most significant bits.
2. The alphanumeric strings are contained in a series of 16-bit registers. Each register contains 2 characters of the string: the most significant 8 bits contain the ASCII code of the first character, the least significant 8 bits contain the ASCII code of the next character. The start character of the string is in the register of the series with the lowest address.
   Example: the transmitter model, forex. ETS80M00, is available in the registers with address from 100 to 109.

Reading of transmitter general information (function 2Bh / 0Eh):
The Modbus function code 2Bh / 0Eh allows reading the basic general information of the transmitter, consisting of:

• Manufacturer
• Transmitter model
• Firmware version

For additional information regarding the protocol, visit the site “www.modbus.org“.

Maintenance

In order to grant measurements high accuracy, it is necessary to clean the filter periodically.
To clean the filter, unscrew it from the transmitter body and wash it under running water with the help of a brush. Dry the filter and screw it back to the transmitter body.
Warning: after removing the filter, be careful not to touch the RH sensor with your hands, so as not to damage it irreparably.
If the filter is too dirty to be able to clean, it can be replaced with a new one.
