  • Page 14: Esd Protection

    M212904EN-A 2.7 ESD protection Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the equipment housing.
  • Page 15: Functional Description

    During autocalibration the values of all available output parameters are locked (showing the latest valid value). DMP80 series probes perform autocalibration at 1-hour intervals, and whenever sensor purge is performed. When measuring very dry conditions, the probe performs autocalibration at shorter intervals.
  • Page 16: Sensor Purge

    (known as interval purge). If necessary, the purge settings can be configured with the Insight software or the Indigo80 handheld indicator. However, Vaisala recommends leaving the sensor purge settings at their default values. As with autocalibration, during sensor purge the values of the measurement parameters are frozen at their last measured values prior to the procedure.
  • Page 17: Filtering Factor

    Chapter 3 – Functional description For example, when you install the probe in a process with a pressure differing from normal atmospheric pressure, update the correct pressure into the pressure compensation setpoint parameter or register of the probe using the Insight software or the Indigo80 handheld indicator.

    • Mount the probe head horizontally to prevent any water condensing on the probe head from running to the sensors. Use the optional magnetic hanger accessory (Vaisala item code ASM214318SP) to attach Indigo80 to a metallic surface when taking measurements.
  • Page 25: Configuring Environmental Compensations

    The available features depend on the probe model and firmware version. Accessing certain configuration options for your probe requires using the free Insight PC software, downloadable at www.vaisala.com/insight. 1. Connect the probe(s) to the indicator. 2. Open the main menu by pressing 3.

    Chapter 7 – Maintenance 7. Maintenance 7.1 Cleaning the probe CAUTION! Do not attempt to clean the sensors under the filter. Do not spray anything directly on the probe head, since that may deposit impurities on the sensors. You can clean the probe, probe handle, and cable by wiping them with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or a suitable cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol.
  • Page 32: Changing The Probe Filter

    When adjustment is necessary, have Vaisala calibrate and adjust the probe. Factory calibration leads to highest accuracy and lowest uncertainty. After factory calibration the instrument performs as new.
