- digital signal chain. The testo 6681 transmitter has digital probes whose adjustment information is stored in the probes' internal memory. Both 1-point and 2-point adjustments can thus be carried out on another testo 6681 (e.g. in the calibration laboratory).
Page 58
In the 1-point adjustment, the reading at the working point is raised to the reference value so that there is no longer any deviation in the working point. The reference condition can be measured using a precise handheld instrument (e.g. testo 400/650 with precision humidity probe) or be created in an air conditioning cabinet.

Page 60
6681 Ethernet - 1.3 Commissioning Expose the humidity probe (4) of the testo 6681 and the reference probe (3) to the same reference conditions (e.g. in the humidity generator) and allow climatic conditions to equalize. Switch on the testo 400/650. The two-part display of the handheld instrument will show the values of the transmitter on the left, and the values of the reference probe on the right.
Page 61
- 1.3 Commissioning 61 A 2-point adjustment cancels any previous 1-point adjustment. Adjustment with the standard Testo adjustment salt pots is not suitable for the testo 6614 (heated for high-humidity applications) and testo 6615 (trace humidity) probes. The reference conditions should be generated in a humidity generator to adjust these probes.
Page 62
The service flap of the testo 6681 is open. Expose the humidity probe of the testo 6681 to the reference condition of 11.3 % RH for at least 1.5 hours at 25 °C. After this equalization period, press the 11.3 % adjustment key (4) for at least 10 seconds with something like a ball-point pen that is not too sharp.
6681 Ethernet - 1.3 Commissioning 63 Completion of the adjustment is signalled by the LED (1) coming on permanently and the Probe reset status message is shown. Carry out the adjustment analogously for the reference condition 75.3 % RH. Press on the 75.3 % RH adjustment key (6) to do this.
Page 64
(see chapter 1.4.6.9, page 83). Disconnect connections between multimeter and contacts of the testo 6681 and close service flap. Adjusting analog output 3 (optional) If the optional third analog output is to be adjusted, a cable connection to measure the analog value must be installed.
Page 65
Mist With the testo 6614, the rear of the Testo humidity sensor is heated, creating a microclimate around the sensor (within the filter) that is constantly 5 K warmer than the actual process conditions. As can be seen in the Mollier diagram, this reduces the relative humidity at the sensor from around 100 % RH to a lower value, e.g.
Page 66
This means that extremely accurate measuring results are also attained to -60 °Ctd. To this end, a temperature sensor is fitted on the back of the testo 6615 which is used as a heater. A humidity and temperature value pair is taken in both the unheated and heated state.
Page 67
6681 Ethernet - 1.3 Commissioning 67 The process temperature should not vary by more than 0.5K The dew point temperature should remain stable, as far as possible The process pressure should not vary excessively If these prerequisites cannot be fulfilled, the values obtained during the last successful self-adjustment will be maintained.
1.4.1 Relationship between user menu and mini-DIN socket is active The testo 6681 can be parameterized using either the user menu or the P2A software (see volume 2, chapter 2, page 103). The testo 6681 humidity transmitter can only be operated via the display and keypad if the display option is available.
