or humidity reading does not change during regular use for more than 5 minutes.
Possible Cause: Solution:
In analog mode: The scaling of
the output is unsuitable,
preventing the change from
showing.
Check and change the analog output scaling with Insight
software (see Vaisala Insight Software (page 28)).
In analog mode: The error level
is configured within the
measurement output level, and
the probe is in error state.
Check the probe diagnostics with the Insight software (see
Vaisala Insight Software (page 28)).
Consider changing the analog output error level to be outside the
measurement scale.
Problem: Measurement reading appears incorrect.
Possible Cause: Solution:
The temperature probe is
installed near a heat source or
too close to the H

The filter is wet. Remove the filter, pour out any water, and let the filter dry.
Depending on air humidity and temperature, drying the filter in
ambient air can take from a few hours to a day. Alternatively, you
can dry the removed filter with nitrogen gas or dry pressurized
air. When the filter is dry, reinstall the filter.

condensation
can break the PEROXCAP sensor within a day, and the sensor will
not recover. When the probe is powered on, the heated sensor
withstands condensing H
