RTU-HTemp Display – RS485 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Temperature and humidity with on-site display

The HW group RTU-HTemp Display is a wall-mounted indoor sensor for measuring temperature and relative humidity. It combines a local LCD display with RS-485/Modbus RTU communication, making it suitable for direct integration into building management, HVAC, and monitoring systems. The display shows the current temperature and humidity values directly at the installation site.

Remotely controllable display: The display brightness can be adjusted remotely via a Modbus register, including the option to switch the display off completely.

For use with Perseus: In installations with HWg Perseus devices, the RTU-HTemp Display supports automatic sensor detection and flexible configuration via the UNI3 extension. This reduces installation time on site.

How the RTU-HTemp Display is designed

The device consists of a compact plastic housing with an integrated display and an attached sensor probe.

1

Plastic housing with LCD display

The housing is made of plastic and features an LCD display on the front that shows temperature and relative humidity simultaneously.

2

Rotatable display orientation

The plastic housing allows the orientation of the LCD display and sensor probe to be adjusted, enabling the display to adapt to different installation situations.

3

Integrated sensor probe

A permanently installed probe is attached to the housing, with a cable length of 0 m and semiconductor sensors for temperature and relative humidity.

4

4-pin terminal block

The 4-pin terminal block is used to connect the A, B, GND, and 12V lines: A and B for RS-485/Modbus RTU, GND as ground, and 12V for power supply, for example from a Perseus device.

5

Mounting bracket

The scope of delivery includes a bracket for screw mounting on a wall.

6

IP65 protection rating

The housing is protected according to IP65 and is therefore dustproof and protected against water jets, making it suitable for indoor use.

Single sensor or daisy chain on a Perseus device

The RTU-HTemp Display can be operated individually or as a chain of multiple sensors connected to an HWg Perseus device.

  • Connection via RS-485/Modbus RTU to the A, B, GND, and 12V terminals of a Perseus device, such as a Perseus Energy 240
  • Multiple RTU-HTemp Displays can be connected one after another in a daisy chain on the same RS-485 line
  • Automatic sensor detection on Perseus devices reduces configuration work during installation
  • Configuration of individual variables, such as display brightness, via the UNI3 extension in Perseus

On-site mounting and adjustment

  • Wall mounting using the supplied screw-mounting bracket
  • Plastic housing with adjustable orientation of the display and sensor probe
  • Display brightness can be controlled via a variable in Perseus or directly via a Modbus register
  • The display can be switched off completely if required

Designed for indoor use

The RTU-HTemp Display is designed for continuous operation indoors.

  • Operating temperature from -30 °C to +80 °C at 0 to 100% relative humidity

Frequently asked questions

What is the HW group RTU-HTemp Display and what is it used for?

The RTU-HTemp Display is a wall-mounted indoor sensor for temperature and relative humidity with an LCD display and RS-485/Modbus RTU communication, suitable for integration into building management, HVAC, and monitoring systems.

How is the RTU-HTemp Display connected?

It is connected via a 4-pin terminal block using the A, B, GND, and 12V lines. A and B transmit RS-485/Modbus RTU communication, while GND and 12V provide the power supply, for example from a Perseus device.

Can I operate multiple RTU-HTemp Displays on one device?

Yes. Multiple RTU-HTemp Displays can be connected one after another in a daisy chain on the same RS-485 line of a Perseus device.

Can the display brightness be adjusted?

Yes. The brightness can be adjusted remotely via a Modbus register or, when used with Perseus devices, via a variable. The display can also be switched off completely.

How accurately does the RTU-HTemp Display measure?

Temperature is measured from -20 to +80 °C with an accuracy of ±0.5 °C at 25 °C and a resolution of 0.10 °C. Relative humidity is measured from 0 to 100% RH with an accuracy of ±5% RH at 25 °C and a resolution of 0.10% RH.
