• Humidity error budget conditions at 23°C
HTG3500 series modules are specified for maximum accuracy measurements within 10 to 95 %RH.
Excursion out of this range (< 10% or > 95% RH, including condensation) does not affect the reliability of
HTG3500 series characteristics.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
• Typical temperature output
Depending on the needed temperature measurement range and associated accuracy, we suggest two methods
to access to the NTC resistance values.
RT NTC resistance in at temperature T in K
RN NTC resistance in at rated temperature T in K
T, TN Temperature in K
Beta value, material specific constant of NTC
e Base of natural logarithm (e=2.71828)
c The exponential relation only roughly describes the actual characteristic of an NTC thermistor can, however,
as the material parameter in reality also depend on temperature. So this approach is suitable for describing a
restricted range around the rated temperature or resistance with sufficient accuracy.
d For practical applications, a more precise description of the real R/T curve may be required. Either more
complicated approaches (e.g. the Steinhart-Hart equation) are used or the resistance/temperature relation as
given in tabulation form. The below table has been experimentally determined with utmost accuracy for
temperature increments of 1 degree.
Actual values may also be influenced by inherent self-heating properties of NTCs. Please refer to MEAS-France

• Temperature Interface circuit
Concerning the temperature sensor of the HTG3500 Series products, the following measuring method described
below is based on a voltage bridge divider circuit. It uses only one resistor component (Rbatch) at 1% to design
HTM2500 temperature sensor interfacing circuit.
Rbatch is chosen to be equal to NTC @25°C to get: Vout = Vcc/2 @25°C.
The proposal method connects Rbatch to Vcc (5Vdc) and NTC to Ground. It leads to a negative slope
characteristic (Pull-Up Configuration).
