Humidity Calibration and Adjustment
(RHCAL)

The procedure below describes a humidity measurement calibration and
adjustment using the serial line commands and the Vaisala Humidity
Calibrator HMK15. You can use the procedure to do a one-point
calibration (offset) or a two-point calibration (offset and gain).

- To use the HMK15 humidity calibrator with the DMT132 you need

the special cover set for HMK15 (Vaisala order code 230914).

- One-point calibration requires a < 50 %RH reference

- Two-point calibration requires additionally a > 50 %RH reference,

with over 30 %RH difference between the two points.

NOTE

Even though the transmitter outputs dewpoint, the humidity calibration
procedure is performed using relative humidity (RH) values. You can use
the Humidity Calculator to convert between dewpoint and relative
humidity. The Humidity Calculator can be found at:
