Air should flow freely around the sensor. Install the sensor head to a sufficient distance from the duct or chamber walls. Make sure to insert enough cable to the same space with the probe in order to prevent heat conduction. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 17...

CALIBRATION This chapter contains information that is needed to calibrate this product. Vaisala recommends a recalibration of the HMM212 module after six months of use. After the first recalibration, the recommended calibration interval is approximately 12 months. However, please note that these intervals depend on the operating conditions and the required accuracy.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Figure 4 Calibration Connector for the HMI41 The following numbers refer to Figure 4 above: 1 = For calibration with the HMI41, insert the jumper as indicated here. 2 = Calibration connector for the HMI41 NOTE The serial communication parameters are: 1200 bauds, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit NOTE When the connection is being established, the message 'CON ERROR'...
You can also perform a two-point calibration with saturated salt calibrators (for example HMK15), or you can send the instrument to Vaisala or a Vaisala representative for recalibration. Figure 6 on page 26 illustrates the difference between offset and gain calibrations.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Connect the jumper to the RH offset pins (see Figure 5 below) and adjust the output signal with push buttons to the value given in the calibration table (Table 5 on page 25). Insert the probe into the measurement hole of the NaCl chamber. Wait for 20 to 40 minutes.

USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Temperature Calibration The temperature channel of the HMM212 is very stable and the modules NOTE have been calibrated at the factory. Unless there is a strong reason to believe that the adjustments have changed, do not perform a temperature calibration.
Replace a dirty filter to ensure a maximum lifetime and a fast response for the sensor. Replacing Consumables This section describes how to replace consumables.
