Campbell Scientific HMP60 Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe - Manual (Page 7)

HMP60 Temperature and Relative
Humidity Probe
1. Introduction
The HMP60 probe measures temperature for the range of -40° to 60°C, and
relative humidity for the range of 0 to 100% RH. It is suitable for long-term,
unattended monitoring, and is compatible with all Campbell Scientific
dataloggers.
Before using the HMP60, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
More details are available in the remaining sections.
2. Cautionary Statements
• Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage
or cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a
Campbell Scientific applications engineer.
• Although the HMP60 is rugged, it should be handled as a precision
scientific instrument.
• The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture,
and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air.
It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will
pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
• Remember to remove the yellow cap prior to installation.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the HMP60, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File damage claims with the shipping company.
• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the correct product and cable length are received.
• The HMP60 is shipped with an instruction manual or a ResourceDVD.
