HT-LCD   Humidity Logger

Qs_rbbr.gif (1971 bytes)

The HT-LCD is a handheld humidity datalogger with an integral humidity sensor and  liquid crystal display. Both Relative Humidity and Dew Point can be displayed and logged. The HT-LCD uses a Sensirion SHT11 digital humidity sensor giving ± 3.5%RH accuracy from 10%RH to 90%RH. This logger is designed for indoor use (IP 40).

For outdoor applications, we recommend a THT-LCD with a TruTrack Seahorse Logger Enclosure. The THT-LCD logger is identical to the HT-LCD logger, except that it has an external Humidity/Temperature probe.

Sensor Type
Sensirion SHT11
Digital humidity sensor
Long-term stability
Fully calibrated by Sensirion
Response time 4 seconds
Range 0%~100%
Accuracy ± 3.5%RH from 10% to 90%
± 5%RH from 0% to 10% and 90% to 100%
Resolution 0.1%RH
Filter The sensor is covered in a Sensirion SF1 Filter cap. The filter cap provides protection against water, dust and other contaminants for the humidity and temperature sensor.  The filter cap consists of a single piece of polypropylene including a filter membrane.  The filter provides filtration efficiency of 99.99% of all 0.1µ m particles and has an optimized response time of typically 30s (1/e (63%) slowly moving air).
Dew Point:
Sensor Type The Dew Point is calculated from the current Relative Humidity and Temperature
Accuracy ± 2º C (this is determined by the ± 3.5%RH accuracy of the humidity sensor
Resolution 0.1º C
Temperature:
Sensor Type Thermister
Linear accuracy over range ± 0.3º C (0º C to 70º C)
Repeatability ± 0.1º C
Long term stability ± 0.1º C

Liquid Crystal Display Operation

 The HT-LCD displays logger status and alarm status continuously and can be set to show the humidity, dew point, temperature, or battery voltage and the number of logged samples.

 HT-LCD_display_300pix.JPG (15037 bytes)

 Logger status is shown as:

·                     Running

·                     Stopped

·                     Waiting (Waiting for “Start on Condition”)

·                     Waiting Trigger (Waiting for “Start on Trigger”)

If the logger is waiting for “Start on Trigger” it can be started in the field from the Menu provided on the display.

 If an Alarm has been triggered the display will show

·                     Alarm 1

·                     Alarm 2

If both Alarms are triggered “Alarm” will be displayed
continuously and “1” and “2” will flash consecutively.

 Low Batt will be displayed if the internal batteries requires
 replacement

HT-LCD Menu Options

Pressing the Enter button on the front panel of the HT-LCD
activates the Menu Display. The Down Arrow can then be used to scroll down through the various Menu Options. When the required menu option is displayed, press Enter to select this option. Menu Options on the HT-LCD are:

·                     Channel 1 (Display Relative Humidity)

·                     Channel 2 (Display Dew Point)

·                     Channel 3 (Display Temperature)

·                     Channel 5 (Display Battery Voltage) 

·                     Samples (Display number of samples logged)

·                     Trigger (IF logger is waiting for Start on Trigger)

·                     Alarm 1 (Reset/Trigger) Trigger is used to test

·                     Alarm 2 (Reset/Trigger) the Alarms

·                     º C / º F toggle

The display will update at 1 second intervals for 1 minute after any button is pushed. It will then slow down to 10 second display updates (this is a power saving feature).
