Relative Humidity (OWTRH)

Description:

This card uses the DS2438 1-wire IC to measure temperature, the +5V power supply and the reading from a Honeywell HIH-3610 RH sensor. From these 3 readings the temperature, relative humidity in %, dew point temperature and vapor pressure deficit can all be calculated. The probe is mounted inside a radiation shield that can be hung from the ceiling or a cross arm. The probe can be used to measure indoor or outdoor temperature and humidity for applications such as greenhouse environmental control.

Card Type: 3

OWconfig:

The "Type" must be 3 as described above. The "Mode" must be "Separate power".

Modbus Register Information:

This device has four Modbus input registers on the ICONIO board, temperature, power supply value, RH raw reading and an unused register.

Temperature Accuracy +/- 2.0C
Temperature Resolution 0.03125C
RH Range (Operating) 0-100% Non-condensing. Extended exposure to >90% RH causes a reversible shift of 3%.
RH Range (Storage)) 0-90% Non-condensing
RH Accuracy ±2% RH, 0-100% RH non-condensing, 25 °C, Vsupply = 5 Vdc
RH Interchangeability ±5% RH, 0-60% RH; ±8% @ 90% RH typical
RH Linearity ±0.5% RH typical
RH Hysteresis ±1.2% RH span maximum
RH Repeatability ±0.5% RH
RH Response Time 1/e 15 sec in slowly moving air at 25 °C
RH Stability ±1% RH typical at 50% RH in 5 years
RH Light Sensitivity This sensor is light sensitive. For best results, shield the sensor from bright light.
