    1.3 Periodic probe calibration The Pt 100 RTD temperature sensor as well as the electronics are very stable and normally do not have to be adjusted after the factory-calibration.

    Menu key will bring you back. 1.5 Probe adjustment with calibration device and Humidity Standard ROTRONIC provides easy-to-use, certified humidity standards for those customers who do not have access to a humidity generator. To use these standards, you will need a calibration device that is suitable for your probe.
  • Page 4 Certified Humidity Standards The ROTRONIC certified standards are available in boxes of 5 glass ampoules of the same value, which can be stored indefinitely. Standards in the range of 5 to 95 %RH are non- saturated aqueous salt solutions that are precisely titrated at our factory for the right concentration.

    2.8 Frequently asked questions Question: I am using at present a ACRL010 on a HygroPalm 3, input 1. I plug into the M-series. Input 2 is connected to a MOK-02-B5 with my reference HygroClip. I read the unit and compare the value with the value of the HygroClip on input 2.
  • Page 10: Theory On Calibration

    Theory on calibration 3.1 Multipoint adjustment An ideal characteristic line of a sensor would be absolutely straight. Output A real characteristic line of a humidity sensor curve is not straight, but slightly bent. Hence, the aim must be to achieve a linearisation. Output Relative humidity Adjustment points...
  • Page 11 As first step to achieve this, the offset value must be set correctly. This is usually done at 35 %rh. Output Ideal curve Before adjustment After adjustment Relative humidity (10) Adjustment points The offset is now adjusted, the blue line goes through the 35 % point. As the line is not going trough zero and maximum, the slope and linearity must be adjusted next: The slope will be set at 80 %.
  • Page 12 Next, the linearity between 30 and 10 % must be set: Output Fix due to 80% adjustment Fix due to 35% adjustment Relative humidity Adjustment points If measurement is required below 10%rh, the 4 point should also be set. Usually, this is done at 0 (0.5 %rh Output e.g 80%...
  • Page 13: Single Point Adjustment

    3.2 Single point Adjustment If a one point adjustment only is performed, the measured values are accurate around the selected point. But as slope and linearity are not adjusted, the ranges that are far away from the adjusted point are not very accurate. Offset of the charachteristic Output...
