Campbell Scientific HMP60 HMP60 Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe - 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. • 1
