TERACOM TSH300v3 Humidity And Temperature
Sensor TSH300v3
Modbus RTU humidity and temperature sensor Version 1.14/November 2023
USER MANUAL

Short description

TSH300v3 (successor of TSH300) is a humidity and temperature sensor with an RS-485 interface.
It supports the Modbus RTU protocol. The device doesn’t need an external power supply, it is powered through the interface.
The humidity and temperature sensor integrate basic elements plus signals processing and provides a fully calibrated digital output. A unique capacitive element is used for measuring relative humidity while the temperature is measured by a band gap sensor. Both sensors are seamlessly coupled to a 12-bit analog to digital converter. This results in superior signal quality. The sensor is delivered with one-meter standard patch cable with RJ45 connectors.

Features

RS-485 interface carrying up to 32 nods;
LED indicator for status of communication;
Changeable bitrate and another communication parameters;
Firmware update via the interface.

Applications

Server room and data centers humidity and temperature logging
Environmental quality monitoring and assessment
Humidity and temperature monitoring in building management systems
Humidity and temperature logging for mobile operator facilities, vineyards, greenhouses, etc.

Installation

A daisy-chained (linear) topology for multiple sensors should be used. UTP/FTP cables with RJ-45 connectors are used for interconnection. The popular ANSI/TIA/EIA T568B wiring is used. Standard patch LAN cables are recommended.
Attention:
The last sensor in the chain should have a 120 ohm terminator installed on the free RJ-45 socket.
The terminator is delivered with the module.

Installation

Installation tips

The location and the mounting position of the sensor have a direct effect on the accuracy of the measurement. The tips below will ensure good measuring results:

Sensor shall be installed about 1.2-1.4 m above the floor;
To avoid solar radiation, the sensor should not be installed next to windows or directly in the sunlight;
Sensors shall be installed in a place with sufficient air circulation.
Sensors shall be wall mounted with vent holes up/down to ensure air circulation.

Status indicator

The status of the device is shown by single LED, located on the front panel:

If the LED blinks on period of 1 second, sensor works properly;
If the LED blinks on period of 3 seconds, there isn‘t communication with the controller;
If LED doesn‘t blink, there isn‘t a power supply.

Factory default settings

Disconnect the sensor from the bus (switch off the power supply).
Press and hold the “config” button. Don’t release the button, connecting the sensor to the bus (switch on the power supply).
The “status” LED will be ON for 3 seconds and after this will flash for 7 seconds. After the 10 second the LED will be ON.
Release the button. The sensor will restart with factory default settings.

Firmware update

The firmware of the sensor can be updated with a Teracom controller which supports MODBUS RTU or MBRTU-Update software. For more details ask your dealer. th

The shown logic decimal addresses are calculated with offsets 40001 (holding registers).
MSWF – Most significant word first – (bits 31 … 16), (bits 15 … 0); LSWF – Least significant word first – (bits 15 … 0), (bits 31 … 16);
PDU address – Actual address bytes used in a Modbus Protocol Data unit
When a floating-point value is not available, the returned value is “NaN” (e.g. in case of measurement error).
When a 16-bit signed integer value is not available, the returned value is “-32768” (e.g. in case of measurement error).

The settings will take effect after restarting the device by power-off, power-on.
** Measured sensor values can be corrected by employing a multiplier and an offset.
The corrections are the results of the following calculations:
Corrected Temperature (°C) = Measured Temperature (°C) × Temperature Multiplier + Temperature Offset (°C)
Corrected Humidity = Measured Humidity × Humidity Multiplier + Humidity Offset
Using a multiplier and an offset allows precise adjustments to the sensor readings, ensuring accurate temperature and humidity values.
It’s crucial to emphasize that the multiplier and offset are applicable exclusively in degrees Celsius. After obtaining the corrected temperature in Celsius, it can then be converted to Fahrenheit.
