Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors

Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors, HIH-6130/6131 Series, are digital output-type relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensors combined in the same package.

Value to Customers

Industry-leading Total Error Band (TEB) Accuracy (±5 %RH): Honeywell specifies Total Error Band–the most comprehensive, clear, and meaningful measurement–that provides the sensor’s true accuracy of ±5 %RH over a compensated range of 5 °C to 50 °C [41 °F to 122 °F] and 10% RH to 90% RH. TEB includes all errors due to:
  • Humidity non-linearity
  • Humidity hysteresis
  • Humidity non-repeatability
  • Thermal effect on zero
  • Thermal effect on span
  • Thermal hysteresis
Industry-leading long term stability (1.2% over 5 years): Competitive humidity sensors need to go through a 12-hour at 75 %RH rehydration process (which requires special equipment chambers) to correct reflow temperature offset. Honeywell’s sensor also experiences an offset after reflow; however, it only requires a 5-hour rehydration process under ambient conditions (> 50 %RH).

Industry-leading reliability: Uses a laser trimmed, thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element that provides resistance to most application hazards.

Lowest total cost solution: Offers customers the lowest total cost solution due to the sensor’s industry-leading Total Error Band Accuracy, and because it was designed as a combined humidity/temperature sensor which allows the customer to purchase one sensor instead of two.

True, temperature-compensated digital I2C output: Typically allows the customer to remove the components associated with signal conditioning from the PCB to free up space and reduce costs associated with those components.

Energy efficient: Low supply voltage and low power consumption enhance energy savings and maximize system battery life.

Ultra-small package: SOIC-8 Surface Mount Device package is ultra small, allowing flexibility of use within the application.
  • Tape and reel packaging: Allows for use in high volume, automated pick-and-place manufacturing.
  • High resolution: Offers high 14-bit humidity sensor resolution and 14-bit temperature sensor resolution.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
