Outside Humidity and Temperature Transmitters JCI
The Hx-68P3 Series Outside Humidity and Temperature Transmitter measures and transmits outside relative humidity (RH) from 0 to 100% and temperatures from -40 to 140F (-40 to 60C). In addition to RH, the transmitter offers selectable parameters including dew point, wet bulb temperature, and enthalpy.
IMPORTANT: The Hx-68P3 Series Outside Humidity and Temperature Transmitter is intended to provide an input to equipment under normal operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the transmitter could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of the transmitter.
Humidity is an important aspect of any climate control system. The significance of indoor air quality to our health has become evident. Humans are best suited to and feel most comfortable at certain humidities and temperatures, whereas excessively high or low humidities or temperatures cause discomfort. Accurate outdoor humidity measurement means that steps can be taken indoors to ensure a quality building environment.
