Description
The AX-RHT-x3-x is a Relative Humidity and Temperature transmitter. The output range is selectable with jumpers for
both the Humidity and Temperature analogue outputs.

Installation
The AX-RHT-x3-x should be installed by a suitably qualified technician in conjunction with any guidelines for the
equipment it is to be connected to. Field wiring should be installed to satisfy the requirements set out by the
manufacturer of the equipment that the module is being connected to.
Antistatic precautions must be observed when handling these transmitters. The PCB contains circuitry that can be
damaged by static discharge. Transmitters should only be fitted to a system after airflow calibration has been carried
out and preferably following full fan running of at least several days, in order that the main contaminants have been
removed from the stagnant system. The transmitter board should not be mounted where temperatures will exceed the
ambient temperature range specified.

Connection
The transmitters should be connected to the controller using 0.5 to 2.5mm2 cable. The units require a minimum of five
wires (power, 0V Supply, RH output, Temperature output and 0V Signal) for all operations. The use of shielded cable is
optional but recommended for the highest noise immunity. Do not route signal wires in the same conduit with power
cables as signal degradation may occur. The controller Analogue Input (AI) must be selected to match the transmitter
output before power is applied. The AI type must be a high impedance voltage input for use with 0-10Vdc transmitters,
or a current input with between 250 and 500 ohm impedance. See the connection diagram for more details.

Remove power to the transmitter before changing between voltage and current output signal types. Ensure the wiring
is correct for the selected output signal type. Use caution when changing jumper positions as not to damage the circuit
board, any components or the sensing elements. The unit comes factory set for current output. To change the output
signal to voltage, carefully remove the 2-position shorting jumper and replace it in the ‘VOLTAGE’ position. Place the
3-position shorting jumper in the correct position for the required span.

1. For the Duct unit, select a location in the duct where dust & contaminants are at a minimum (i.e. after filters
etc.) and which will give a representative sample of the prevailing air condition. Drill a 13mm (up to 15mm)
diameter hole in the return air duct. Insert probe through the hole and secure the enclosure to the duct with
suitable sheet metal screws on 92mm centres. Orientation of the enclosure and probe will have no effect on the
operation of the device.
2. For the Outside-Air unit, orient the housing such that the cable gland is pointing downwards. Fit the housing
to the mounting surface using suitable screws on 92mm centres.
3. Ensure that the supply voltage is within the specified tolerances.
4. Allow 3 minutes before checking functionality, and allow a further 30 minutes before carrying out pre-
commissioning checks.
5. Chemical vapours at high concentration in combination with long exposure times will offset the sensor
reading. This includes transportation before installation.
