INTRODUCTION 

The 

RHT-WM-485-LCD

RHT-DM-485-LCD

  and 

RHT-P10-485-LCD

 

transmitters include high precision and stability sensors for measuring 

temperature and relative humidity. They are microprocessed devices and, 

therefore, allow being entirely configured through a RS485 interface, using 

the Modbus RTU commands. The 

DigiConfig

 allows the configuration of all 

transmitter features as well as its diagnostic procedure. 
The transmitter can be configured or displaying the values of measured 

temperature and 

Relative Humidity

 or the values of measured temperature 

and

IDENTIFICATION 

The identification label is fixed on the transmitter body. Check if the features 

described on this label are in accordance with your order.  
The 

RHT-WM-485-LCD  and RHT-P10-485-LCD

  models  intended for wall 

mounting, while the 

RHT-DM-485-LCD

 model comes with a probe tip rod for 

installation in ducts or through walls. 
The following elements are located at the front side of the transmitter:
