HTG3500 Series - Relative Humidity and Temperature Module
HTG3500 Series HPC123_K www.meas-spec.com April 2015
4/10
Humidity error budget conditions at 23°C
HTG3500 series modules are specified for maximum accuracy measurements within 10 to 95 %RH.
Excursion out of this range (< 10% or > 95% RH, including condensation) does not affect the reliability of
HTG3500 series characteristics.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Typical temperature output
Depending on the needed temperature measurement range and associated accuracy, we suggest two methods
to access to the NTC resistance values.
RT NTC resistance in Ω at temperature T in K
RN NTC resistance in Ω at rated temperature T in K
T, TN Temperature in K
β Beta value, material specific constant of NTC
e Base of natural logarithm (e=2.71828)
The exponential relation only roughly describes the actual characteristic of an NTC thermistor can, however,
as the material parameter β in reality also depend on temperature. So this approach is suitable for describing a
restricted range around the rated temperature or resistance with sufficient accuracy.
For practical applications, a more precise description of the real R/T curve may be required. Either more
complicated approaches (e.g. the Steinhart-Hart equation) are used or the resistance/temperature relation as
given in tabulation form. The below table has been experimentally determined with utmost accuracy for
temperature increments of 1 degree.
Actual values may also be influenced by inherent self-heating properties of NTCs. Please refer to MEAS-France
