Connecting your RH95 Controller

This sectiondescribes the connections on the backpanel ofthe RH95 humiditycontrollerand their purpose.

BackPanel Connections

Warning:To avoid anydamage to the RH95, switch the unitoffbefore connectingor disconnectinganyconnection.

1: MicroUSBconnector(currentlyused forfirmware upgrade only).

2: RS232 Connector

3: HumiditySensorConnector

4: Power socket

5: Transitscrewholder

6: AirInletconnector

USBConnector

At presentthis is onlyused forupdatingthe firmware in the RH95.

RS232 Connector

The RS232 connectoris intended to allow the RH95controllerto be connected to a Linkamcontrollerusingthe humiditydata RS232 cable.

Humiditysensorconnector

The humiditysensorconnectoris usedtoconnect the RH95 to the humiditysensorcable.

Powersocket

For connection to the power supply provided with the RH95 unit.

Note:DONOTconnect the powertransformertothe RH95 while the transformerispoweredon. Firstconnectthe transformer tothe RH95,andthen

connect the mainspowerto the transformer.

TransitScrewHolder

The transit screwholdershouldbe used to hold the transit screws,whichholdthe internal pump secure duringshipping.These are foundonthe

underside ofthe controller and should be removed before use. Rememberto re-secure the pumpwiththese transitscrewsbefore shipping.

AirInletConnector

This is the portthat supplies airto theRH95 controllerforhumidification/drying.Blockingaccess to this port will prevent theRH95 fromfunctioning.

Important Note:Onlysuitable for use with gasatatmospheric pressure.DONOTflowpressurizedgasinto thisport.

Connectingthe RH95 tothe humiditychamber

YourRH95 systemincludes a small humiditychamberthat can be usedto testyoursamples at ambient temperature.Toconnectthe RH95

controller to the supplied humiditychamberfollowthe below procedure:

Note:This chamberis alsousedwhenvalidatingthe humidity reading.

IMPORTANTNOTICE:The humiditysensor isextremelysensitive tocontaminants-DONOTtouch the exposedchipor allowanythingto come into

contact with it. These sensorscannot be repairedifbrokenor contaminated, and are notcovered bywarranty.

1. Carefully remove the capprotectingthe humidity sensor.Donot touch the exposed chip on the humiditysensor.

2. Remove the lid ofthe humiditychamberusingthe providedtool, as shown:

3. Screw the sensorinto the chamber,beingvery careful not to damage the fragile sensor.

4. Connect the 9 pinconnectorfor the sensortothe port onthe backofthe RH95 marked 'HumiditySensor'

5. Connect the humiditytube fromthe front ofthe RH95 to the port on the humiditychamberopposite the sensor,as shown:

Note:Do not connect the humiditytube tothe same side ofthe chamber as the sensor,as this will affect the readings.

6. Replace the lidofthe humidity chamber.You are nowreadyto control the humidity in the chamber.

Connectingthe RH95 to aLinkam HeatingStage

Ifyou have purchased a Linkamheatingstage with humiditycapabilityto gowithyourRH95 controller,follow these instructions to connect it:

IMPORTANTNOTICE:The humiditysensor isextremelysensitive tocontaminants-DONOTtouch the exposedchipor allowanythingto come into
