Note: The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error
associated with the devices margin of error. Errors can occur due to electronic
variation (example, the temperature sensor is a resistive thermal device or
RTD, the humidity sensor is a capacitance device), mechanical variation, or
degradation (wearing of moving parts, contamination of sensors).
Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can
compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices,
procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and
degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such
as the internet, radio, television or newspapers. The purpose of your weather
station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary
significantly from location to location.
NOTE: UV Calibration MUST be performed every 2 to 3 months to
improve results. Over time, UV Index may alter results based on bright and
strong sunlight conditions. This is why diligent UV Calibration is
recommended.
