Wiring

Deactivate the 24 Vac/dc power supply until all connections are made to the device 

to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. Follow proper electrostatic 

discharge (ESD) handling procedures when installing the device or equipment 

damage may occur.
Use 22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections and do not locate the device wires in 

the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads such as motors. 

Connect the cable shield to ground at the controller only. Make all connections in 

accordance with national and local codes. 
Connector layout is shown in Figure 5.  Diagram shown includes all options. If option 

is not ordered, connector will not be present.
For 4-20 mA two-wire loop-powered operation, only the POWER and OUTPUT 

terminals are required if a DC power supply is used. The COMMON terminal is only 

used for AC power or for a voltage output signal type. If the signal type is set to 

voltage, or a 24 volt AC power supply is used, connect the positive dc voltage or the 

hot side of the ac voltage to the terminal marked POWER and the power supply 

common is connected to the terminal marked COMMON. The device is reverse 

voltage protected and will not operate if connected backwards.

For three-wire voltage output operation, connect either an AC or DC power supply to 

POWER and COMMON and the voltage output signal is available on the OUTPUT 

terminal with respect to COMMON as shown in Figure 6.
Ensure the controller Analog Input (AI) matches the transmitter output signal type 

before power is applied and that the pcb switches are set correctly for the required 

signal type. The current signal has a maximum load that it will drive and the voltage 

signal has a minimum load rating. Follow the ratings in the Specification section or 

inaccurate readings may result.
This device has a half-wave power supply so the power supply common is the same 

as the signal common. Several devices may be connected to one power supply and 

the output signals all share the same common. Use caution when grounding the 

secondary of a transformer or when wiring multiple devices to ensure the ground 

point is the same on all devices and the controller.
The following optional features are only included if ordered. Wiring terminals are 

only present for features ordered.
An optional resistive temperature sensor may also be included in the device and is 

connected to the TEMP terminals as shown in Figure 7.

 

An optional resistive slide-pot setpoint output signal is available on the  

and SETPNT – terminals and can be configured with various resistance values and 

the operation can be set for forward or reverse acting as shown in Figure 8. 
An optional override switch output is a dry-contact and is available on the  

and SWITCH – terminals and typically connects to a low voltage digital input of the 

controller to indicate room occupancy or override when the button is activated as 

shown in Figure 9.
An optional LED input is typically powered by a 5 Vdc digital output from the 

controller and connects to the LED + and LED - terminals as shown in Figure 10.
An optional  five position fan speed output signal is configured with five different 

resistive values and is available on the FAN + and FAN – terminals as shown in 

Figure 11.
An optional external jack is internally connected to a four-pin terminal block labeled 

1, 2, 3 and 4 and accepts a four-pin header connector for remote communication 

with the controller as shown in Figure 12.

Start-up

Verify that the transmitter is properly wired, connections are tight and the                                                         

mA / Vdc switch is in the correct position as shown in Figure 13. For voltage output, 

also ensure the 5V / 10V switch is set correctly for the required signal type as shown 

in 

Figure 14. Apply power and note that the LCD will begin displaying the RH level (if 

installed). The output signal will also be available immediately after start-up.

Output Signal

The RH output is scaled such that 4-20 mA (or 0-5 or 0-10 Vdc) equals 0-100 %RH and 

is temperature compensated over the full 0-50 °C temperature range.
