HX200 Series

QUICK STARTUP GUIDE
Installing the probe for compressed air and dryer applications.
For the HX200HD/HX200HD-RS
Install fitting on to probe fitting threads facing the probe’s filter.
Apply Teflon tape to the external threads of the fitting.
Slide probe to desire depth.
Note: be sure the sintered filter is clear of the ferrule on the NPT fitting, hand tight, and then use a wrench a do a quarter turn, Check for leaks, if leaks occur tightened down on fitting another 1/8” turn until leaks have been eliminated, the probe is rated to 750psi.
Installing the probe for environmental applications
For the HX200HR/HX200HR-RS
Mount probe using a ½” (ID) mounting clamp (not provided) over the probe and attached it to a surface where measuring. Avoid installation in direct line with water injection.
For the mounting the HX200 series Electronics
Mount the electronics with two # 8 sheet metals screws
Mounting centers are 3.1” from each other.
Power 12 to 28Vdc, 24 Vdc (typical) 25mA max
HX200 Connections:
Connect red wire (+) to the positive excitation source and the black wire (-) to a negative excitation. The output load if isolated from the excitation voltage can be in line with either the red or black wire. If the load shares a common connection to the negative excitation voltage, the HX200 (-) terminals must be connected to the (+) of the load device.
HX200-RS Connections:
Connect white wire (+) to the positive excitation source and the black wire (-) to a negative excitation. If using the unit as a loop powered device, the output load if isolated from the excitation voltage can be in line with either the white or black wire. If the load shares a common connection to the negative excitation voltage, the unit (-) terminals must be connected to the (+) of the load device. RS232
connections: Receive is the gray conductor, transmit is the blue conductor, ground is the brown conductor.
Verify that the received signal agrees with the display value.
Things to avoid: submersion in liquids, condensing conditions and dew points above 95C (live steam)
Quick reminder: provide sufficient air flow to sensor (positioning of sensor is important because response time can be affected.

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HX200 series is a family of humidity probes and electronic modules that offer %RH and dew point measurements with NIST traceable calibration. All stainless-steel probe construction coupled with a high-temperature cable allows up to 200c operations. For pressure applications, the probe is capable of handling 750PSI.
The HX200 series is offered in 8 versions, dew point/temperature-(HX200HD, HX200HD-RS, HX200HD-W, & HX200HD-W-RS), % RH/temperature- (HX200HR, HX200HR- RS, & HX200HR-W, & Hx200HR-W-RS)
The HX200HD pressure version has an enhanced calibration for measuring dew points down to -60C. The HX200HR -RH version has an accuracy of +/-1.0% at 25C. These two models provide a single two-wire loop-powered 4-20mA interface. The HX200-RS version has all the features of the prior models but has an RS232 signal that outputs RH, temperature, and dew point. These units accept a voltage source from 12 to 28Vdc, 24Vdc is recommended. These units will display temperature along with RH or dew point depending on the version selected. The RS232 allows a user to scale their outputs ranges as well as displayed units. The unit and sensor are connected via a 1-meter high- temperature cable. This unit has a single output, 4-20mA output wiring, and can provide a signal up to 400 ft.

For the HX200-RS series

The HX200-RS meets all the specs listed above for both the HX200HD and HX200HR.
Digital Output: Bidirectional RS-232C outputs will display RH, dew point, and temperature, in the streaming command. The loop power will not function if using the RS232.

Switches for DP or RH and Fahrenheit or Celsius

Located on the circuit board there are two switches. The switch on the left will allow for the customer to switch between DP or RH and the switch on the right allows for the customer to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Communications from PC to the device
You can streamline your data via the RS232 that gives you all three measurement units.
Using the terminal emulation program, i.e.: HyperTerminal, Tera term, etc.
Rs232 SETTINGS

The update rate is 5 seconds for dew point, or RH and temperature
To change the scaling
Connect the HX200 series to the PC via the above settings
When finished connecting to the PC and the protocol is set:
Hit the “escape” key
The main menu will appear (upper case lettering is used to change the commands)
