Product Description
RHT-MOD relative humidity transmitters are engineered for building automation systems in the HVAC/R industry. The RHT measures relative humidity (rH), and temperature (T). RHT devices are available with large touchscreen display making conguration of the device quick and easy. Configuration is also possible via Modbus network.
RHT-MOD devices include:
- Separate eld congurable Modbus output for each measurement parameter (rH and T)
- One analog output for selected measurement: voltage (0/210 V) and current (420 mA)
- Optional relay output
