Troubleshooting Humidity Signal Verification

Troubleshooting - Humidity Signal Verification

4 to 20 mA Signal

You will measure the humidity output by placing an ammeter in series with the controller input. The control- ler input is connected to the terminal marked “Ch1 or Ch2” on the humidity board.

1.Verify the unit is terminated properly using Figure 2 shown below, and set your meter to the “Volts” setting.

2.Verify you have 24 VDC supplied to the unit by measuring between the “V+” and “GND” terminals at the sensor, as shown below in Figure 1.

3.Set your meter to “Amps” and measure the output between “Ch1 or Ch2” and the controller input as shown below in Figure 1.

4.Use the following formula to determine what humidity the sensor is reading:

(mA - 4) / 0.16 = %RH

where mA is the current reading from the ammeter (in mA)

Example:

If the current reading is 16 mA, then: %RH = (16 - 4) / 0.16

=12 / 0.16

=75%
