Vaisala HMD62 - 4.1 Calibration and Adjustment Overview; 4.2 Calibration and Adjustment Using Trimmers

4. Calibration and Adjustment
4.1 Calibration and Adjustment Overview
You can calibrate or adjust the transmitter's measurement output using one of the following
options:
• 1-point adjustment with the RH and T trimmers on the HMD60 component board
(adjustment range: -5%RH … +5 %RH and -0.3 °C … +0.3 °C (-0.54 °F … +0.54 °F).
• 1-point or 2-point adjustment by connecting the transmitter to Vaisala Insight PC software
(requires USB cable 219690).
• 1-point adjustment by connecting the transmitter to an MI70 hand-held indicator (requires
MI70 connection cable 219980SP).
4.2 Calibration and Adjustment Using Trimmers
HMD60 transmitters have separate trimmers for RH and T measurement output adjustment
mounted on the component board. The trimmers allow for easy 1-point adjustment of the
measurement output against a reference with a known value.
The transmitters are shipped with the trimmers centered. Turning the trimmer counter-
clockwise decreases the measurement output value, and turning clockwise increases the value.
Figure 12 (page 18) shows the trimmer adjustment ranges for RH and T (-5 %RH … +5 %RH
and -0.3 °C … +0.3 °C ( -0.54 °F … +0.54 °F).

The trimmers will only turn 135 degrees each way, less than half a rotation. Do not
force the trimmer past the stopping point.
