Installation
Mounting the Enclosure
- Only for model T2 duct mounting.
- Drill the hole for inserting the probe into the duct wall on.
- The relevant position of top left mounting screw of the back cover with respect to the probe center.
- Metal enclosure: x = 28.5 mm (1.1) y = 37.5 mm (1.5)
- Polycarbonate enclosure: x = 20.5 mm (0.8) y = 25.4 mm (1)
- Fix the back cover of EE23 onto the wall / panel using 4 screws diameter max. 4.2 mm 0.2 not included in the scope of supply.
- The device shall be mounted with the cable glands pointing downwards or horizontal.
- Wire the terminals inside the back cover.
- Insert the middle (active) part into the back cover.
- By this the connection pins of the middle part will plug into the terminals of the back cover and thus realize the electrical connection.
- Place the front cover onto the middle part and close tight the enclosure using the four screws included in the scope of supply.
Mounting of metal enclosure
Drilling for round holes
Drilling for long holes
Mounting of polycarbonat enclosure
For the wall mount model the probe must point downwards. For the duct mount model the probe must point either horizontally or downwards.
T1 Wall mount
T2 Duct mount
Mounting onto DIN rails
EE23 with polycarbonate enclosure can be mounted also on DIN rails with the bracket HA010203.
Mounting the Sensing Probe
Whenever possible place the entire probe inside the space to be monitored. In
case of mounting the probe into a partition wall, it is of paramount
importance for accurate measurement
to avoid T gradients along the probe. In case of large T difference between
the two sides of the wall, it is highly recommended to insert the probe
completely up to the cable outlet into the wall. Should this not be possible,
place a thermal isolation layer on the part of the probe outside the wall on
the cable side. For probe mounting into a partition wall use the mounting
flanges HA010201 for probe diameter 12 mm and HA010208 for probe diameter 5
mm. Neither the mounting flanges nor the EE23 probes are pressure rated and as
such they are not appropriate for pressure tight mounting. For pressure tight
requirements please see www.epluse.com for
appropriate products such as EE310.
Mounting flange HA010201
Mounting flange HA010208
For applications where condensation is likely to happen, certain ways of mounting are required. For probe hanging onto its cable from the ceiling, use the drip water protection HA010503 not included in the scope of supply. This protects the probe and the sensing head against water dripping along the cable. For horizontal mounted probe, a drip water point should be made just before the probe.

Calibration / Adjustment
Definitions Calibration
The calibration documents the accuracy of a measurement device. The device under test specimen is compared with the reference and the deviations are documented in a calibration certificate. During the calibration, the specimen is not changed or improved in any way.
Adjustment
The adjustment improves the measurement accuracy of a device. The specimen is
compared with the reference and brought in line with it. An adjustment can be
followed by a calibration which documents the accuracy of the adjusted
specimen. For general calibration / adjustment guidelines and for the choice
of humidity reference devices please at
www.epluse.com/ee23
The 2 point adjustment is recommended for best accuracy over a wide RH and /
or T range. Always start the 2-point adjustment with the lower adjustment
point RH_low / T_low, followed by the higher adjustment point RH high / T
high. The span between the two adjustment points must be
- RH_high – RH_low > 30 % RH
- High T low > 30 °C (54 °F)
The 1 point adjustment should be used only when the RH and/or T range of interest is rather narrow. The RH resp. T adjustment point should be ideally in the middle of the range of interest.
Example
- In a climate controlled environment with 40 % < RH < 60 % and 15 °C < T < 25 °C 59 °F < T < 77 °F
- 1 point adjustment shall be performed at 50 % RH and 20 °C (68 °F).
- 1 point adjustment leads to very good accuracy within the range of main interest at the cost of the accuracy beyond this range.
Adjustment of EE23 Model T1, T2, T4 and T6 via Push Buttons on the
Electronics Board
2 Point RH Adjustment Procedure / T Adjustment Procedure

Return to Factory Calibration
To return to RH or T factory calibration set first the jumper to RH or to T
respectively. During normal measuring mode (i.e. not during the adjustment
procedure. LED D1 shall be off, the
display shall not show CAL pressing BUTTON S1 and S2 together for min 5
seconds. The return to factory calibration is confirmed by a short flash of
the LED D1.
Adjustment of the EE23 Model T5 via the USB Service Interface
- Download and install the EE-PCS Product Configuration Software from www.epluse.com/configurator

- Start the EE PCS software.
- Select the desired adjustment mode and follow the instructions of the EE-PCS
Maintenance
- When employed in dusty, polluted environment.
- The filter cap shall be replaced as needed with an E+E original one. A polluted filter cap causes longer response time of the device.
