After having performed the calibration, disconnect the jumper.

Temperature Calibration of a Dewpoint
Module

1.

The warming function must be deactivated by connecting a jumper
to the T offset or T gain calibration pins (see Figure 5 on page 25).
The temperature signal is now on Channel 2 (previously Td signal).
Note that the chosen output range corresponding to -70 ... +180 °C
is now scaled on this channel. For example, if the Td output range
is 0 ... 5 V, the T output during calibration is 0 ... 5 V < > -70 ...
+180 °C (-94 ... +356 °F).

2.

Allow enough time for the instruments to stabilize to the same
temperature.

3.

Adjust the reading with UP and DOWN switches (see Figure 5 on
page 25
). Note that during gain adjustment, the offset point
(-70 °C) does not change (see Figure 6 above).

4.

After having performed the calibration, disconnect the jumper.

Temperature Calibration of an RH and T
Module with Two Sensor Heads

1.

Connect a jumper to the T offset or T gain calibration pins (see
Figure 5 on page 25). The temperature signal of the humidity probe
is now on Channel 1 (previously RH signal). Note that the chosen
output range corresponding to -70 …+180 °C is now scaled on this
channel, for example if the RH output range is 0 ... 5 V, the T
output during calibration is 0 ... 5 V < > -70 ... +180 °C (-94 …
+356 °F).
