HL-69158NP Multi-Function Humidity Device
with Temperature Sensor Product Bulletin
Introduction
The Johnson Controls
®
HL-69158NP is a multi-function
device that can function as a high limit or proportional
override humidity controller, as stand-alone proportional
controller, or a stand-alone two-position controller.
As a high limit or proportional override controller, it limits
duct humidity by comparing a controller’s request for
humidification with the humidity present in a duct. The
HL-69158NP proportionately reduces its output signal to
the humidification equipment as duct Relative Humidity
(RH) approaches a user-defined setpoint. As a result,
the HL-69158NP provides more accurate control of duct
humidity and reduces condensation. As a stand-alone
controller, it can provide a proportional 0 VDC to 10 VDC
or 0 mA to 20 mA output based on its own setpoint, or
two-position Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) Normally
Open (N.O.) output. The HL-69158NP also includes an
integral temperature sensor, which adds to the product's
versatility.

Features and benefits
Multi-functional device: provides several humidity
control applications: high limit or proportional override,
stand-alone proportional, or stand-alone two-position
All-plastic material for Duct Probe: improves
thermal performance and complies with Underwriters
Laboratories® Inc (UL) flammability ratings for plenum
use; complies with Blue Angel (Germany) and TCO'95
(Sweden) environmental regulations
Humidity and temperature sensors in one unit:
eliminates the need for separate sensors and reduces
installation time and cost
Adjustable RH setpoint and proportional band: enables
the user to define the maximum humidity level allowed in
the duct and reduces excessive humidification equipment
cycling
Product overview
Important: The HL-69158NP Multi-function Humidity
Device is intended to provide input to equipment
under normal operating conditions. Where failure
or malfunction of an HL-69158NP could lead to an
abnormal operating condition that could cause
personal injury or damage to the equipment or other
property, other devices (limit or safety controls) or
systems (alarm or supervisory) intended to warn
of, or protect against, failure or malfunction of
the HL-69158NP must be incorporated into and
maintained as part of the control system.
When it functions as an override device, the HL-69158NP
generates a 0 VDC to 10 VDC or 0 mA to 20 mA output
signal based on both setpoint and sensed humidity.
The HL-69158NP regulates duct humidity by overriding
a system controller’s demand for humidification when
humidity exceeds a user-defined setpoint. When used
as a stand-alone device, the HL-69158NP delivers a
proportional or On/Off relay output to a humidifier as
humidity approaches the preset setpoint. Power the
HL-69158NP from either a separate 24 VAC transformer or
directly from the controller.
The Johnson Controls sensor offers an all-plastic
enclosure, which reduces thermal biasing. This feature
lowers energy consumption, reduces condensation, and
eliminates the need for thermal compensation.
The temperature sensor's thin-film nickel material
provides 1,000 ohms of resistance at 70°F (21°C). The
temperature sensor operates independently of the
humidity control function. See Figure 2 for the resistance
versus temperature relationship for a nickel sensor.
