Main features and advantages:
A key strength of the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC is its exceptional measurement accuracy. The sensor provides humidity readings with an accuracy of ±2% RH (at 25°C, 20-80% RH) and temperature measurements within ±0.3°C, ensuring that even small deviations from setpoints are detected promptly. This level of precision is crucial in applications like semiconductor manufacturing, where minor humidity fluctuations can affect wafer etching processes. Hardware-wise, the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC features a compact, IP65-rated enclosure that protects against dust and water jets, making it suitable for use in food processing areas or outdoor kiosks. Its robust design includes a polycarbonate sensor housing that resists chemical exposure, ensuring long-term stability in environments with occasional contact with cleaning agents or mild industrial fluids.
The HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC also stands out for its reliability and ease of integration. It operates on a 24 V DC power supply, compatible with standard industrial power systems, and outputs a 4-20 mA signal that can be directly connected to most control systems without the need for additional converters. The sensor’s response time of less than 5 seconds (for 63% of step change) ensures that rapid environmental shifts—such as those caused by equipment malfunctions—are quickly detected, allowing for timely corrective actions. Its long-term stability (less than 1% RH drift per year) reduces the need for frequent recalibration, lowering maintenance costs over the sensor’s lifespan.

HCIX15-TE-FA-NC
Application areas:
In industrial facilities where precise humidity and temperature control directly impact product quality and equipment performance, a reliable sensing solution is non-negotiable. Consider a pharmaceutical manufacturing cleanroom, where maintaining humidity levels between 45-55% and temperatures at 22°C ±1°C is critical for ensuring the stability of sensitive medications. Or a data center housing server racks, where excessive humidity can cause corrosion of electrical components, while high temperatures risk thermal throttling of equipment. These are the environments where the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC excels, serving as a precision monitoring tool in industrial automation systems. Used in industrial automation setups ranging from food storage facilities to electronics production lines, the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC is engineered to provide accurate, real-time measurements of both humidity and temperature, enabling systems to adjust climate controls proactively. It’s particularly valuable in applications where space is limited but the need for reliable environmental data is high, such as in compact control panels or modular processing units. The HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC addresses the challenge of maintaining optimal conditions in diverse industrial settings, helping to reduce waste, extend equipment life, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Installation and maintenance:
Before installing the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC, ensure the mounting location is representative of the environment being monitored—avoid placing it near heat sources (such as motors) or direct air vents, which can skew readings. For best accuracy, position the sensor at least 1.5 meters above the floor and away from walls by 30 cm to ensure proper air circulation. When wiring the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC to the control system, use shielded twisted-pair cable to minimize electromagnetic interference, especially in areas with nearby variable frequency drives or high-voltage equipment. The sensor’s 1.5 m cable can be extended using compatible connectors, but ensure total resistance in the loop does not exceed 500 ohms to maintain signal integrity.
For maintenance, schedule annual calibration checks of the HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC using a calibrated reference hygrometer and thermometer, particularly in environments with high chemical exposure, which may accelerate drift. Conduct quarterly visual inspections to check for dust buildup on the sensor’s vent openings—gently clean with compressed air if necessary, taking care not to damage the internal sensing element. Verify the 4-20 mA output signal using a multimeter during each inspection to ensure it corresponds accurately to known humidity and temperature values. The HONEYWELL HCIX15-TE-FA-NC is designed for a service life of 5+ years under normal operating conditions, with replacement of the sensing element recommended if calibration errors exceed ±3% RH or ±0.5°C.
