1 Product Overview

The HX94 Series​ is a line of duct-mount RH/temperature transmitters designed for reliable, low-cost environmental monitoring in HVAC and industrial applications. It features a robust stainless steel housing, solid-state sensors for fast response, and versatile output options for easy integration. There have many types of sensors, this Omega HX94 is top niche especially for industrial. Go deep for what it is

With key features
Feature
Description
Benefit
Dual Sensing​
Combines Thin-Film Polymer Capacitor​ (RH) and 100Ω Platinum RTD​ (Temp) in one unit.
Simplifies installation, reduces cost versus separate sensors.
Stainless Steel NEMA 4 Enclosure​
IP66 equivalent, corrosion-resistant housing.
Suitable for harsh environments, ducts, and wet conditions. But not for dip into water, 
unboxing pic shows why.
Removable & Adjustable​
Includes removable sensor filter for cleaning and a variable-depth (1-9") duct flange.
Easy maintenance and adaptability to different duct wall thicknesses.
Linearized Outputs​
Available in 4-20 mA​ (HX94C) or 0-1 Vdc​ (HX94V).
Direct compatibility with most PLCs, DDCs, and control systems without complex scaling.
Fast Response​
RH time constant <20-30 seconds in moving air.
Quickly reflects changes in environmental conditions.

The type HX94C is for current signal and HX94V is for voltage signal. the tye in hand is HX94C.

Refer to Omega HX94C. Datasheet.pdf

4 Technical Specifications Analysis

The data is more persuasive as such,

Relative Humidity Sensing

  • Sensor Type:​ Thin-Film Polymer Capacitor.
  • Range:​ 3% to 95% RH.
  • Accuracy:​ ±2% RH​ (Excellent for its class).
  • Repeatability:​ ±1% RH.
  • Compensation:​ -20°C to 85°C (Wide temperature compensation range ensures accuracy across operating conditions).
  • Output:​ 4-20 mA or 0-1 Vdc, linearly proportional to 0-100% RH.

Temperature Sensing

  • Sensor Type:​ 100Ω Platinum RTD (DIN 43760 standard).
  • Range:​ 0°C to 100°C (32°F to 212°F).
  • Accuracy:​ ±0.6°C (±1°F)​ (Good for HVAC applications).
  • Repeatability:​ ±0.3°C.
  • Output:​ 4-20 mA or 0-1 Vdc for the temperature channel (HX94C/V models).

Electrical & Mechanical

  • Power Supply:​ 6 to 30 Vdc (Polarity Protected). Flexible for use with 12V or 24V systems.
  • Connection Types:​ Multiple options (4-pin connector, lead wires, or 1/2" NPT with cable) provide mounting versatility.
  • Time Constant (Temp):​ 60% response time is specified, indicating a slightly slower thermal response compared to the RH sensor.

5 Apply the power source

Apply 12VDC to pin 1 and GND to Pin 2
image

the reading is 12.17V DC

image

while the current get is jus 0.01mA to pin 3

image

and 0.01-0.02mA in pin 4.

image

Here is how to connect it.

Ehn, this is still can not solved yet. But, this sensor is not used in the plan.Jus share it.

    Fantastic post and great to see the tear down - although not integral to my project will likely use it and good to know it is not to hard to get going - thank you and good luck

    I work in the extremely dusty environment of grain processing. I'm curious how much the device measurement might vary depending on the length of time it is installed. I was much wanted to participate in this challenge to test my assumptions.
