Description
Features
Application
The Q-Series Relative Humidity and Relative Humidity & Temperature Sensors for
Critical Environments and Outdoor Air monitor and transmit changes in humidity and
temperature to the building control systems.
• Operating voltage 24 Vac/13.5 to 35 Vdc
• Signal output 0 to 10 Vdc/4 to 20 mA for relative humidity and temperature
• Very high measuring accuracy across the entire measuring range
• Capacitive humidity measurement
• Precise, stable humidity sensing
• Available in 2% and 2%, certified models
• Optional display
• Recalibration service available (QFA41 Series only)
The Q-Series Outdoor Air rh and rh/T Sensors are for use in HVAC applications where
high accuracy and short response times for measuring relative humidity are required.
The measuring range covers the entire humidity range of 0 to 100%. Some application
examples:
• Storage and production facilities in the paper, textile, pharmaceutical, food, chemical
and electronics industry, etc.
• Laboratories
• Hospitals
• Computer and EDP centers
• Greenhouses
• Outdoor use requires AQF3100 Outdoor Mounting Kit

    Electrical interference increases the longer the cables run parallel and the smaller the Selection distance is between them. Use shielded cables if necessary. Twisted pairs of cables are required for the secondary supply lines and the signal lines. Page 4 Siemens Industry, Inc.
  • Page 5: Mounting Notes

    • Delivery and invoicing of the new AQF4150 measuring tip, complete with calibration certificate. • Delivery of a calibration certificate for the (old) measuring tip returned to Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. enabling the customer to assess the time of usage of the measuring.
