Two point calibration procedure

A two point calibration should be performed in stable conditions using
saturated salt solutions as references.

Disconnect the security lock jumper!

4.3.1.1

Using serial commands

Leave the calibrator and the transmitter for at least 4 hours in the
same space so that their temperatures have time to equalize. Remove
the filter cap on the transmitter.

Insert the sensor head into the calibration hole of the LiCl chamber of

the humidity calibrator.

Wait at least 30 minutes.

Give command CRH , enter the first point value and press .

>CRH
RH : 11.9 Ref1 ? yy.y
Press any key when ready...

If you want to see how the sensor stabilizes to the humidity in the
calibrator, enter c instead of the first reference:

RH : 11.9 Ref1 ? c
RH : 11.5 Ref1 ? c
RH : 11.5 Ref1 ? 11.3
Press any key when ready...

Insert the sensor head into the calibration hole of the NaCl chamber of

the humidity calibrator.

Wait at least 30 minutes.

Press any key and enter the second point value; press .

RH : 75.5 Ref2 ? yy.y

The stabilization of the sensor can be monitored by entering c

instead of the reference value.

4.3.1.2

Using display/keypad commands

Leave the calibrator and the transmitter for at least 4 hours in the
same space so that their temperatures have time to equalize. Remove
the filter cap on the transmitter.

Select Cali in the main menu and then RH cal; select Not changed
and then two point calibration RH 2 point cal. Change the first point
reading with the arrow keys to correspond to the reference humidity
and press ENT; pressing an arrow once changes the reading by
0.05 %RH.
