The average of the ultrasonic temperature is used to calculate the humidity from the dew point. An issue seen during testing occurred when the TriSonica Mini was removed from a warm 90% humidity environment to a cooler 30% environment. The quick change caused condensation inside the unit and it displayed humidity greater than 100% until the condensation evaporated and equalized through the vent. - Page 32 Release Date 9 July 2021 Anemoment LLC...

TROUBLESHOOTING your TriSonica Mini Sensor Chapter Common Set-up Errors Symptom: The TSM Sensor doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Action: Place the TSM Sensor near your ear and listen for a quiet fast ticking sound. • If you hear no sound, confirm the device the TSM Sensor is connected to has power. -
Page 34: Updating Tsm Sensor Firmware
• Updating TSM Sensor Bootloader (New in 2.0) In the TriSonica Mini program memory are two programs, the TriSonica Sensor application, and a bootloader. During a reset or power on, the bootloader checks to determine if the sensor application is valid. If the sensor application is valid the bootloader turns over control to the sensor application. -
