Notes on voltage
The measurement location of the humidity controller should
be selected such that there is no build-up of condensate on
or in the device. This applies particularly for operation with
a voltage higher than 48V. If the voltage is higher, there is a
risk of voltage arcing in the event of water condensation on
the microswitch or connecting terminals which might destroy
the controller. In the case of voltage below 48V, the humidity
controller can be used up to 100%rh.

Description of the humidistat
The humidity measuring element which is manufactured by
Galltec under the name Polyga®, consists of several plastic fabric
bands each with 90 individual fibres with a diameter of 3 µm each.
The fibres are provided with hygroscopic characteristics by a
special process. The measuring element adsorbs and desorbs
moisture. The effect, swelling predominantly in longitudinal direction, is transmitted via a lever system to a microswitch with
a small switching distance. The measuring element responds
to the change in air humidity. It is possible to adjust the lever
system by setting the adjustment knob so that the microswitch
is actuated when the set air humidity is reached.
The fan shaped measuring element is accomodated inside the
housing and must be protected against coarse dust, dirt and water. The humidistats are designed for pressureless systems. The
installation location must be selected so that condensed water
cannot enter the inside of the housing. The installation position
preferably with ventilation slots at right-angles to wind direction.
In the case of the humidistat type HG120-2, a second microswitch is positioned parallel to the first microswitch. The switch
point of the second microswitch is connected to the switch point
of the first microswitch. The switch distance (neutral zone) is
set by the factory to +6%rh. (If desired other switch distances
up to approx.12%rh can be set by the factory)
Application
The humidistat type HG120 is used as an on-off controller to
control the relative air humidity in climatic cabinets. It is used
to control air humidifying and dehumidifying in offices and computer rooms. Other areas of use are storage of foodstuffs and
luxury foods, cooling rooms for fruit and vegetables, greenhouses for gardening use, the textile industry, the paper and
printing industry, the film industry and hospitals.
The room humidistat HG120-2 is equipped with a 2nd microswitch. It can be used as a 2-level controller or as a max-min
controller.
Room humidistats with internal adjusting knob and scale are
available for all variations. These types have got a lower-case
„i“ at the end, e.g. HG120i.
