HW group HTemp-485 Box2

Combined temperature and humidity sensor for vertical wall mounting indoor usage. Communication over RS-485 bus with a simple communication protocol. The sensor can be used separately but it was designed to be connected with the Poseidon family units.

HTemp-485 Box2 measures temperature and humidity, communicates over 4-wire bus and up to 26 sensors can be connected parallely to a single bus. The sensor is intended for indoor vertical wall mounting.

The busbar uses 4 wires, two with a standard RS-485 line, the other two are used for sensors´ power supply. The individual sensors can be powered by an external power source and can be connected by just two RS-485 line wires. RS-485 communication line works up to 1000m distance.

For temperature measuring the thermal sensor uses an integrated element with accuracy of ±0.8°C, humidity is as well measured by an internal sensor with accuracy 5%.


Application

• Extensive measuring systems with many measuring points
• Air-conditioning state measuring and measuring of living conditions in intelligent buildings
• Independent measuring in food warehouses and agricultural crops storage buildings
• Grocery storehouses and premises
• Temperature and humidity monitoring in pharmaceutical storages
• Measuring in residential premises
• Industrial measuring and regulation
• Poseidon model 2250 – temperature values transmission over Ethernet or Internet
• Poseidon model 2250 – logging possibility of up to 100 000 values into internal Flash memory

Sensor wiring

Conductors are connected over terminal or RJ45 connector. Both possibilities can be combined.
HTemp-485 Box2 temperature and humidity sensor can be connected to RS-485 bus in various methods:

• Direct connection over 4 conductors
  For use in extensive storage buildings. It requires experience with RS485 bus. We recommend this option to very skilled users or installation companies.
• RJ45
  Sensors connection through S-Hub or one thermometer directly to RJ45 connector with RS-485 on Poseidon unit.
• RJ45 / directly - Connection of more sensors via S-Hub
  You do not need Poseidon B-Cable to connect sensor over TP cable to RJ45. TP cable with RJ45 connector can be connected directly to terminal board. Use "LAST" configuration if you connect only one sensor(connection detail). In case you connect sensors to S-Hub unit, use "MIDDLE" (connection detail) configuration for every sensor except the last one.:
  
  
  • RJ45 connector wiring to 4 pinsTerminal: GND (-) = RJ45: 7 (brown/white)
  • Terminal: Vcc (+) = RJ45: 8 (brown)
  • Terminal: RS-485 (A) = RJ45: 5 (blue/white) + 6 (green)
  • Terminal: RS-485 (B) = RJ45: 4 (blue) + 5 (green/white)

Sensor address setting

Every sensor on RS-485 line must have its unique addressEach sensor on RS-485 line must have its unique address for communication with RS-485 bus. This address is presented via small or capital letter and is configurable several ways. Details are available in manual

Assigning of RS-485 address to Temp-485 Box2 sensor:

• Address configuration via terminal jumper (see picture)
• Setup mode configuration (console setup mode)
• Configuration command over RS-485

Notice: Address of HTemp-485 Box2 is always combination of small and capital letters, therefore "A/a" combination is always put.
