DESCRIPTION
The room humidity sensor detects cabin humidity. The voltage of the room humidity sensor changes in accordance with cabin humidity. The A/C amplifier reads changes in the room humidity sensor.
The room humidity sensor is integrated with the room temperature sensor.

Note
Do not touch the room humidity sensor because it may be affected by body temperature and may not work properly.
Hold the sensor only by its connector.
The output voltage at the ambient temperature 25°C (77°F) is shown above.
Tech Tips
As the humidity increases, the voltage increases (see the graph).
