This chapter provides information that is needed in basic maintenance of the product. Periodic Maintenance The humidity measurement accuracy of the HMP60 and HMP110 should be calibrated yearly. When calibration indicates that accuracy is not within specification: - HMP60: change the INTERCAP® Sensor.
To calibrate your probe, you need a known stable humidity or temperature reference, and a way to read the output of the probe (analog or serial). As a humidity reference you can use, for example, the Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15.
Measurement (HMP110) To perform a one-point adjustment to the capacitance measurement of the HMP110 you need: - The Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order code: 219690) - PC with a terminal application. - One humidity reference. One-point calibration with a single <...
To perform a two-point adjustment to the capacitance measurement of the HMP110 you need: - The Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order code: 219690) - PC with a terminal application. - Two humidity references. The first point requires a < 50 %RH humidity reference, the second point must be >...

Check with the L command that the user adjustment parameters have changed. If you wish to remove the effects of RH calibration (returning the RH measurement of the HMP110 to the factory calibrated state), see section Clear Adjustment of RH Measurement on page 41. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 51...
(HMP110 and HMP110T) To perform a one-point adjustment to the temperature measurement of the HMP110 or HMP110T you need: - The Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order code: 219690) - PC with a terminal application. - One known and stable temperature reference.

Check with the L command that the user adjustment parameters have changed. If you wish to remove the effects of T calibration (returning the T measurement of the probe to the factory calibrated state), see section Clear Adjustment of T Measurement on page 42. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 53...
(HMP60) This procedure restores the humidity measurement accuracy of the HMP60. No adjustment after the sensor change is needed. To perform this procedure, you need a new INTERCAP® sensor. It is also recommended that you replace the filter with a new one. For order codes, see section Options and Accessories on page 62.
54. Handle the new sensor by the plastic frame. DO NOT TOUCH THE SENSOR PLATE. Perform a two-point adjustment of the RH measurement as instructed in section Two-Point Adjustment of RH Measurement (HMP110) on page 50. Attach a new filter on the probe.
