fyaocn 3 months ago

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.

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.
