Q-Series Relative Humidity (RH) and
Relative Humidity & Temperature (RH/T) Duct Sensors
Product Description
Relative Humidity (RH) and Relative Humidity &
Temperature (RH/T) duct sensors monitor the
relative humidity or the relative humidity and
temperature in a duct, depending on the model.
Sensors are directly wired to the controller via
twisted pair and/or three conductor cables
(18 to 22 AWG). The number and type of cables
required depends on the model selected. All field
wiring is terminated in a terminal block on the sensor
body.
