4.4 Calibration Correction
The HygroCal100 is provided with an intuitive calibration correction system which is used
to calibrate and adjust the internal HS3 control sensor against an external reference
device.
If a traceable reference is available, it is advisable to pass the traceability of this onto
the control sensor of the HygroCal100 at regular intervals. The process allows calibration
at 3, 5 or 9 preset points, which are:
Preset RH Points
Total time to
complete
3 point 30%, 50%, 70% 45mins
5 point 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 80% 1hr 15mins
9 point 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% 2hr 15mins
Table 11 Calibration Correction
Select System Settings ->
Correct. This will display a prompt to enter a password
to proceed - the required code is
7316. Once this has been entered, the Calibration
Correction Setup Screen will be displayed. This screen shows a number of checks which
should be carried out before proceeding.
NOTE: If the desiccant is exhausted, or the saturator is not suffi ciently fi lled,
then this can result in an invalid correction being applied to the control sensor.
NOTE: Ensure that the temperature of the environment you intend to operate
in is stable before proceeding.
