Press the MENU key twice to exit the menu and return the HF5 to normal operation
Notes:
o
All calibration points are automatically deleted from the probe memory after an adjustment
o Instructions for using the ROTRONIC calibration devices and humidity standards are provided in
document E-M-CalBasics
o Because the HF5 has no real time clock, the date of the adjustment is not written to the probe. If
retaining the adjustment date is important, use the HW4 software to adjust the probe.
b) Using the HW4 software to adjust the probe connected to a HF5 (except model HF52):
Use the appropriate model of service cable (see Maintenance > Service Cable) to connect the
service connector of the HF5 to a USB port of a PC with the HW4 software installed. Note that the
ROTRONIC USB driver must be installed on the PC as explained in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-
Main. In the case of the HF55, a connection with the PC can be established via the USB
(ROTRONIC USB driver) or Ethernet interface.
Start HW4 on the PC and search for the HF5 (HW4 Main Menu Bar > Devices and Groups > Search
for USB Masters).
After finding the HF5 with HW4, expand the device tree to see the HF5 functions. Select Probe and
Probe Adjustment.
For further instructions see HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-A2-001
8.4 Cleaning or replacing the probe dust filter
See document E-M-HC2 Probes-V1
8.5 Validation of the output signals transmission
If so desired, transmission of the HF5 output signals can be validated by using the simulator function. The
HW4 software is required to enable and configure this function. When this function is enabled the HF5
generates fixed digital and analog signals as specified by the user. For instructions see document
