1.

Note the current position of the trimmers.

2.

Insert the probe in the LiCl salt chamber of the humidity calibrator

(11 %RH), and wait for 20 – 40 minutes for the reading to stabilize.

3.

If necessary, adjust the offset trimmer using a small Phillips head

screwdriver to achieve the output reading that corresponds to

11 %RH.

For 4 ... 20 mA output, the reading should be 5.76 mA.

For 0 ... 5 V output, the reading should be 0.55 V.

4.

Insert the probe in the NaCl salt chamber (75 %RH) and wait for

the reading to stabilize.

5.

If necessary, adjust the gain trimmer to achieve the output reading

that corresponds to 75 %RH.

For 4 ... 20 mA output, the reading should be 16 mA.

For 0 ... 5 V output, the reading should be 3.75 V.

6.

Optional: repeat steps 2 – 4 to check the adjustment result. If you

want to undo the adjustment, return the trimmers to their original

position.

Calibration and Adjustment Using Serial Line

The following provide steps for performing calibrations on the serial

line.

NOTE

It is assumed that the module is powered and you can measure the analog

output reading. Note that the USB cable does not supply operation power

to the module. You must power it normally through the screw terminals.

NOTE

For detailed information on using the service port, USB cable, and the

serial line commands, see Chapter 4 on page 27.
