5. WIRING

 

 

Connections to the datalogger for the HMP45C212 
are shown in Figure 3 and Table 1.  The probe 
requires two single ended analog measurements, 
the green (RH) and the orange (temp.) leads can 
be inserted into either HI or LO inputs. 
 
The black thermistor excitation lead connects to 
any excitation channel.  The yellow lead is used to 
control switching 12 volts to the relative humidity 
sensor and is connected to a control port.  The 
number of HMP45C212 probes per excitation 
channel is physically limited by the number of lead 
wires that can be inserted into a single excitation 
terminal (approximately 10). 
 
The white lead connects to Analog ground.  
Analog ground, labelled “AG” on the CR10X, is the 
same as Ground (G) for the 21X and CR7.  The 
clear lead is the shield which connects to Ground 
(G) on the datalogger. 

 

6. PROGRAMMING

 

 

Program Instruction 4 is used to measure the 
temperature. 
 
Program Instruction 4 sets an excitation voltage to 
the thermistor bridge then makes a single ended 
voltage measurement.  The thermistor portion of 
the probe has a linear millivolt output over the –50 
to +50 Celsius range.  A multiplier of 0.07154 and 
an offset of –72.789 provides output of 
temperature in Celsius. 

 

The HMP45C212 output scale is 0 to 1000 
millivolts for the relative humidity range of 0 to 
100%.  On the RH measurement, use a multiplier 
of 0.1 for percent and a multiplier of 0.001 for 
fraction output.  The RH measurement does not 
require an offset.
