•  READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE 

ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS 
DEVICE.

•  Failure to observe safety information and comply with 

instructions can result in PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND/OR 

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

•  To avoid electrical shock or damage to equipment, disconnect 

power before installing or servicing and use only wiring with 
insulation rated for full device operating voltage.

•  To avoid potential fire and/or explosion do not use in potentially 

flammable or explosive atmospheres.

•  Retain these instructions for future reference.
•  This product, when installed, will be part of an engineered 

system whose specifications and performance characteristics 
are not designed or controlled by HK Instruments. Review 
applications and national and local codes to assure that the 
installation will be functional and safe. Use only experienced and 
knowledgeable technicians to install this device.

SPECIFICATIONS

Thank  you  for  choosing  an  HK  Instruments  RHT-MOD  Duct  se-
ries relative humidity transmitter with Modbus interface. The RHT 
-MOD Duct series is intended for use in commercial environments 
in HVAC/R applications.

RHT-MOD Duct is a relative humidity transmitter with temperature 
output installed in air ventilation duct. In addition to these measured 
values, RHT-MOD Duct calculates various parameters such as dew 
point, mixing ratio, enthalpy and absolute humidity. Illuminated dis-
play ensures easy readability also from a distance. The RHT-MOD 
Duct has a screwless lid and an easily adjustable mounting flange 
that make the installation of the device easy.

RHT-MOD  Duct  series  devices  are  commonly  used  to  monitor  and 
control:
•  Relative humidity and temperature levels of incoming and return air 

in ventilation system
