different ways or even switched off in cases where there is a risk of accidentally
activating relative measuring by zero-setting the measured value.
Loc parameter :
0 The offset is saved in RAM, base or zero-point - depending on locking
1 The offset is saved in RAM only.
2 Relative measuring is locked
Atmospheric pressure compensation
12.5
Measured variables dependent on the ambient atmospheric pressure (see Man-
ual 6.3.3 Measuring range list ´with PC´) may, in the event of large deviations
from normal pressure (1013 mbar), involve certain measuring errors.
e.g. Error per 100 mbar
Rel.humidity psychrometer
Mixture ratio, capacitive
Dynamic pressure

It is advisable therefore, especially when taking measurements at appreciable
heights above sea level to take due account of the atmospheric pressure (ap-
prox. -11 mbar / 100 meters above mean sea level, MSL).
The appropriate atmospheric pressure can be entered in parameter 'mb'either
in device programming or it can be measured using an atmospheric pressure
sensor (reference sensor with designation ´*P´, see Manual 6.7.2).
Compensation range
approx. 2% 500 to 1500 mbar
approx. 10 % Vapor pressure VP up to 8 bar
approx. 5% 800 to 1250 mbar (error < 2%)
approx. 10% 500 to 1500 mbar
