The 7Semi Industrial RS485 Temperature & Humidity Sensor Probe is an industrial-grade sensor engineered for precision and durability in demanding environments. Leveraging Modbus RTU over RS485, it delivers highly accurate readings with excellent long-term stability. Housed in a robust stainless steel probe with a breathable, waterproof, and dust-resistant sintered metal filter, it’s ideal for HVAC systems, building automation, climatology, and industrial monitoring.
This version includes a 2-meter, features a wide 9–36V DC input range, DIP switch-configurable Modbus address and baud rate, and onboard signal processing. Fully plug-and-play with SCADA, PLCs, HMIs, and Arduino/MCUs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the sensor compatible with PLCs and SCADA systems?
Yes, the sensor uses RS485 with Modbus RTU, compatible with most industrial automation systems.
Q2: How do I read the sensor values?
Use Modbus function code 0x03
to read two 16-bit registers. Divide by 10 to get the actual values in °C and %RH.
Q3: How is the device configured?
You can set the Modbus address (1–255) and baud rate using onboard DIP switches. Supported baud rates include 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200.
Q4: Can I interface this with Arduino?
Absolutely. It includes a sample Arduino wiring and code setup using RS485 to TTL adapters.
