GENERAL INFORMATION

The A/RH Wall Plate Series is a Relative Humidity 
transmitter that can be powered with either an AC or 
DC supply voltage. The RH Wall Plate transmitter is 
field selectable with 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC output 
signal that is equivalent to 0 to 100% RH. This sensor is 
designed for use with electronic controllers in 
commercial heating and cooling building manage-
ment systems. The transmitter can also include an 
optional temperature sensor for monitoring the space 
temperature.

For optimal readings, follow these tips:  

Do not install on external walls.

Do not install near heat sources. eg: lamps, radiators, 

direct sunlight, copiers, chimney walls, walls 
concealing hot-water pipes.

Avoid air registers, diffusers, vents, and windows.

Avoid confined areas such as shelves, closed 

cabinets, closets, and behind curtains.

Eliminate and seal all wall and conduit penetrations. Air 

migration from wall cavities may alter temperature 
readings.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Take care when mounting. Check local code for 
mounting height requirements. Typical mounting 
heights are 48-60” (1.2 - 1.5 m) off the ground and at 
least 1.5’ (0.5 m) from the adjacent wall. The sensor 
should be mounted in an area where air circulation is 
well mixed and not blocked by obstructions.

RH Wall Plates include a Black Rubber Cap that fits 
over the sensor filter. This cap should be placed on 
the sensor filter during wet/wash down processes. 

The cap must be removed for normal operation. 

Plate temperature sensors (optional) are mounted on 
the back of a 1 Gang stainless steel plate. The foam 
pad will insulate the sensor from any drafts in the 
wall. There are (2) 6-32 x 3/4" machine screws 
provided for junction box mounting. Remove plastic 
film off stainless steel cover.
