Vaisala HMW40 Humidity/Temperature Converter Datasheet
The HMW40 is an indoor wall‑mounted humidity and temperature converter designed for precise environmental monitoring. It uses a capacitive polymer‑film sensor to measure relative humidity and a temperature sensor covering a wide range.
Key features include a 4‑20 mA output proportional to 0‑100 % RH, a measurement accuracy of ±0.5 % RH, and a compact ABS housing weighing about 60 g. The device operates from a 24 V DC supply and consumes approximately 120 mW. This manual is written in Japanese.
