Ordering and delivery When ordering, please give name and type reference, e.g.: Duct sensor QFM2120 The sensor is supplied with mounting flange and cable entry gland M16. Equipment combinations All systems and devices capable of acquiring and handling the sensors DC 0...10 V , 4...20 mA, LG-Ni 1000 or T1 output signal. When using the sensors for minimum or maximum selection, for averageing, or to calculate enthalpy, enthalpy difference, absolute humidity, and dewpoint, we recommend to use the SEZ220 signal converter (see Data Sheet N5146). Function Relative humidity The sensor acquires the relative humidity in the air duct via its capacitive humidity sensing element whose electrical capacitance changes as a function of the relative humidity. The electronic measuring circuit converts the sensors signal to a continuous DC 0...10 V or 420 mA signal, which corresponds to 0...100 % r. h. The sensor acquires the temperature in the air duct via its sensing element whose electrical resistance changes as a function of the temperature. Depending on the type of sensor this change in resistance is converted either to an active DC 010 V or 420 mA output signal corresponding to a temperature range of 0 50 C, 35+35 C, or 40...+70 C. The measuring range can be selected. The temperature is provided as a simulated passive LG-Ni 1000- or T1-output signal ( 3550 C) as an alternative to the active output signal. The measuring current of systems / devices for acquiring the electrical resistance of the passive sensor differs greatly and impacts self-heating of the temperature sensing element at the end of the measuring tip. To compensate the impact, the passive output signal is simulated with an electronic circuit.

Mechanical design The duct sensor consists of a housing, a printed circuit board, connection terminals, a mounting flange and an immersion rod having a measuring tip. The 2-sectional housing comprises a base and a removable cover (snap-on design). The measuring circuit and the setting element are located on the printed circuit board inside the cover, the connection terminals on the base. The sensing elements are located at the end of the measuring tip and protected by a filter cap. Cable entry is made via the screwed cable gland M16 supplied with the sensor. Immersion rod and housing are made of plastic and are rigidly connected. The sensor is fitted with the mounting flange supplied with the sensor. The flange is to be placed over the immersion rod and then secured in accordance with the required immersion length.

The setting element is located inside the cover. It comprises 6 pins and a jumper. It is used to select the required measuring range and to activate the test function. The different jumper settings have the following meaning: For the passive temperature measuring range: Jumper in the middle position (R2) = 35...+ 50 C (factory setting) For the active temperature measuring range: Jumper in the left position (R1) = 35...+ 35 C, Jumper in the middle position (R2) = 0...50 C (factory setting) Jumper in the right position (R3) = 40...+70 C For activating the test function: Jumper in the horizontal position: The values according to the table "Test function active" will be made available at the signal output. Malfunction Should the temperature sensor become faulty a voltage of 0 V (4 mA) will be applied at signal output U2 (I2) or signal output BS-MS becomes high impedance (>1 M) after 60 seconds, and the humidity signal at signal output U1 (I1) will reach 10 V (20 mA). Should the humidity sensor become faulty a voltage of 10 V (20 mA) will be applied at signal output U1 (I1) after 60 seconds, and the temperature signal will remain active.

Accessories Name Filter cap (for replacement) Engineering notes A transformer for safety extra low-voltage (SELV) with separate windings for 100 % duty is required to power the sensor. When sizing and protecting the transformer, local safety regulations must be complied with. When sizing the transformer, the power consumption of the duct sensor must be taken into consideration. For correct wiring, refer to the Data Sheets of the devices with which the sensor is used. The permissible cable lengths must be considered. Cable routing and cable selection It must be considered for routing of cables that the longer the cables run side by side and the smaller the distance between them, the greater electrical interference. Shielded cables must be used in environments with EMC problems. Twisted pair cables are required for the secondary supply lines and the signal lines. Terminals G1(+) and I1 () of the humidity output must always be connected to power, even if only terminals G2 (+) and I2 () of the temperature output are used! Type reference AQF3101

Mounting notes Location Mount the sensor in the center of the duct wall. If used together with steam humidifiers, the minimum distance after the humidifier must be 3 m to max 10 m. Fit the sensor in the extract air duct if the application involves dew point shifting. Fit only the flange to the duct wall. The sensor is then inserted through the flange and engaged. To ensure degree of protection IP 54, fit the sensor with the cable entry pointing downward. The sensing elements inside the measuring tip are sensitive to impact. Avoid any impact on mounting. The mounting instructions are printed on the inside of the package of the device.

Caution!

Mounting instructions

Commissioning notes Check wiring before switching on power. The temperature measuring range must be selected on the sensor, if required. Wiring and the output signals can be checked by making use of the test function (refer to "Mechanical design"). We recommend not to use voltmeters or ohmmeters directly at the sensing element. In the case of the simulated passive output signals, measurements with commercially available meters cannot be made (measuring current too small).
