The condensation probes, based on the principle of insulated electrodes, can also be used for monitoring condensation. These probes are supplied e.g. by manufacturers of air conditioning equipment, cooling systems, etc., as part of their products (e.g. the UNIVERSA, a dew point sensor 450 650, or the plasterboard version 450 651).
The sensor consists of a conductive layer usually deposited on a flexible substrate. It should be attached by a self-adhesive layer or by tightening straps to the bottom part of the piping.
Fig. 1. An example of connecting the condensation sensor to the C-HM-0308M module.
Notes:
-
The condensation sensor can be connected to any input of the module (AI1 to AI3).
-
The supply cable can be extended up to approx. 20 m. You should use a shielded cable, e.g. the SYKFY 2x2x0.5, or J-Y(St)Y 1x2x0.6.
-
When the sensor is being mounted, care should be taken to maintain quality conductive connection with the monitored surface, and to avoid damaging the active surface of the sensor.
One system input enables parallel connection of several sensors (up to 5). The system input then evaluates the state, when any sensor has recorded the formation of condensation.

Notes:
-
The condensation sensors can only be connected to the AI5 input.
-
The supply cable can be extended up to approx. 20 m. You should use a shielded cable, e.g. the SYKFY 2x2x0.5, or J-Y(St)Y 1x2x0.6.
