Read Before Turning On The Unit After receiving the unit, open the door to let the chamber dry for 10 minutes. Use soft paper tower to wipe the water in the chamber if needed. Turn on the unit and set the temperature to 30 °C and humidity to 30 % to let the unit settle, approximately for 20 minutes (first time only).
FILLING THE RESERVOIR Supplies Needed Distilled Water Fill Syringe Only Locate the Fill Port The port is labeled and located on the middle lower portion of the front panel. Remove the Fill Cap Rotate Counter-Clockwise to remove. Attach Fill Syringe to Fill Port Press the fill syringe tip into the fill port, then rotate the cap clockwise to secure.
Page 20
Elevate and Fill Syringe - Pour distilled water into the elevated tube body. - Take care not to insert any air into the reservoir. - Monitor the water level indicator while filling. Loosen and Remove Syringe Turn the fill syringe tip counter-clockwise to loosen. Re-Install the Fill Cap Turn the cap clockwise to tighten the cap and seal the fill port.

CHANGING THE DOOR / OPENING THE CHAMBER Unscrew the Corner Screws Remove screws by turning in a counter-clockwise motion. Loosen Center Screw In some door variations, there is a center screw that serves the purpose of creating a tighter seal. If this screw exists, it must also be loosened using a counter-clockwise motion before the door can be removed.

Ensure the door is securely fastened to the chamber. Insert UUT Insert your UUT at least 3 inches into the Model 2000 SP chamber. Program Unit Set-points Allow the unit to reach the programmed set-points and settle.
CONTROL / REFERENCE PROBE CONFIGURATION The probe calibration screen allows the user to introduce a calibration offset to the internal probe used to control the GEO Calibration 2000 SP chamber. This allows the user to calibrate the internal probe to an external reference.
TWO-POINT CALIBRATION - CLEAR OFFSETS, SLOPE AND INTERCEPT Clear Temperature and Humidity - Offsets 1. Clear the temperature offset to a 0.0 °C on Probe Calibration Screen. 2. Clear the humidity offset to a 0.0 % on Probe Calibration Screen. Clear Temperature –...
TWO-POINT CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS: Firmware Version: 1.53 or higher High Accuracy Certified Reference Probe inserted into the chamber System settings as per page 2 of this document Pen and paper to record reference probe readings PLEASE NOTE: GEO recommends the two points calibration are 23 °C and 40 °C for Temperature and 20% to 80% for Humidity.
TWO-POINT CALIBRATION TWO-POINT CALIBRATION - HUMIDITY 1. Set temperature to 23°C and humidity to 20 % on Main Display and let the unit settle. 2. Record the readings of your reference probe on paper for later entry. 3. Then set humidity to 80 % on Main Display and let the unit settle.
SYSTEM RECALIBRATION SYSTEM UNCERTAINTY The absolute uncertainty of the system depends on multiple variables: • System Warm Up – All components must be warmed up and stabilized before doing any calibration, as mentioned before, humidity depends on temperature, and the system must stabilize to ambient room conditions before performing calibrations.
Control Probe / Reference Sensor Overview The Model 2000 SP functions through the use of a dual PID controller. This controller takes the hu- midity and temperature values from an internal capacitance probe and further performs calculations that are then used to generate the user entered humidity and temperature set points. This sensor is factory calibrated, and upon request, additionally calibrated by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory using either a chilled mirror or two-pressure primary reference standard.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULE ● Maintenance Recommendations: GEO Calibration recommends that the unit be annually shipped back to our facility for general maintenance. Daily Semi-Annual As Needed General Cleaning Refill Reservoir with Distilled (Use Proper Cleaning Control Probe Calibration Water Materials)
DESICCANT CHANGE VISUAL GUIDE Overview The Model 2000 SP ships with a fresh desiccant canister. Each time the Model 2000 SP dries the internal volume of air, the desiccant will become more saturated with water. For optimal performance, the user must periodically replenish or replace the used desiccant. The desiccant type is molecular sieve, which may be regenerated by the user through heating or baking.
REPLACING THE CANISTER Power Off the Unit Ensure that the unit is powered off before proceeding with a desiccant change. Loosen Hook & Loop Straps Firmly Grasp Desiccant This will cause the old desiccant canister to slide from the female adapters. Remove this desiccant completely from the housing and set aside.
Page 49
Firmly Insert Desiccant Canister Ensure the hose barbs properly line up with the sockets on the inside of the desiccant housing. Press with Force Firmly press the seal with both thumbs into the canister housing. Secure Hook & Loop Straps...
REFILLING DESICCANT CANISTER Remove Desiccant Follow the initial steps from the previous section entitled “Desiccant Change”. Open Top Cover of Desiccant Save the spring, the sieve and the three white felt filters. Discard previous desiccant. Wipe the inside of the desiccant cannister with a clean cloth.
DRAINING THE RESERVOIR Locate the Main Drain Port Turn the cap counter-clockwise to remove. Move the Unit to Table Edge Position a bowl shaped object underneath the unit to catch the drained water. Remove the Drain Cap Tilt the unit to ensure maximum water removal. Replace &...
CONDENSATION IN THE CHAMBER Power Off the Unit Ensure that the unit is powered off. This is so that no desiccant is wasted while the unit is not in operation. Open the Chamber Door Follow the door opening procedure from the quick start guide.

Locate Probe Connector Press Probe into Connector Slowly rotate the probe head as you press into the cabling body. You will feel the probe “seat” itself once the male - female parts align. Secure Metal Connector Twist the metal connector away from the chamber entrance to secure the probe head to the probe cabling body.
