Adjustment of Transmitters Using MM70 in Checking and Adjusting Vaisala´s HMP228, MMT318 and MMT330 series transmitters can be calibrated and adjusted by using MM70. - In the field: Check and adjust a fixed transmitter´s reading against MM70´s calibrated reference probe.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Calibration and Adjustment of HMP228 Series Transmitters You can check all the parameters a , T and RH, but only RH can be adjusted. You can calibrate your transmitter against a calibrated reference probe of MM70 or against a calibrator's reference humidity by using MI70 indicator in communication.
EXIT key twice. 1-point Relative Humidity Adjustment by Using a Calibrator You can use Vaisala humidity calibrator HMK15 to achieve the reference humidities. MI70 indicator is working as a communicator in the calibration procedure. When using this adjustment method, start with the steps 1 through 12 on the previous page.
EXIT key twice. 2-point Relative Humidity Adjustment by Using a Calibrator You can use Vaisala humidity calibrator HMK15 in calibration and adjustment. Note that the difference between the two reference humidities should be at least 50%. MI70 indicator is working as a communicator in the calibration procedure.
Field Checking and Adjustment by Using a Calibrated Reference Probe When using this adjustment method, start with the steps 1 through 4 in the section Calibration and Adjustment of MMT318 Transmitters on page 45. Then proceed as follows: VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 45...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Select a , RH, T or H O (H O can only be checked, not adjusted). Press the SELECT key. Check that the probes are located in equal conditions and wait until the readings are stabilized (can take 30 minutes or more). If you are near the probes, do not breathe towards them.
Note that if the difference between two references is less than 50%, adjustment cannot be done. Adjustment is done. To return to the basic display, first press the BACK key, then the EXIT key. Detach the calibration cable. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 47...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Calibration and Adjustment of MMT330 Transmitters You can check and adjust MMT330 transmitter reading against a calibrated reference probe of MMP78 or against another reference condition by using MI70 indicator in communication. Follow the first 4 steps and continue according to the chosen calibration method. Connect the 211339-connection cable between the service port of the MMT330 transmitter and the bottom connector of the MI70 indicator.
Enter correct reference value by using the arrow keys. Press the OK key. Confirm by pressing the YES key. Adjustment is done. To return to the basic display, first press the BACK key, then the EXIT key. Detach the calibration cable. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 49...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 2-point Adjustment by Using a Calibrator When using this adjustment method, start with the steps 1 through 4 in the section Calibration and Adjustment of MMT330 Transmitters on page 48. Then proceed as follows: Select the quantity and press the SELECT key. Remove the filter from the transmitter´s probe and insert the probe head into the reference condition.
The recommended calibration interval is one year. It is recommended to send the device to Vaisala Service Centre for calibration and adjustment, see contact information in section Vaisala Service Centers on page 61. Alternatively, user can calibrate and adjust MM70 by following the instructions below.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ have to feed the reference values, the MM70 displays the accurate value based on the measured temperature and the Greenspan table stored into the memory of the MM70. Make the adjustment as instructed in the section below (select LiCl-NaCl autom. on item 8 and follow the display instructions).
When pressing the key, indicator turns to adjusting mode. Select T, press the SELECT key. Now the adjustment mode is on, press the ADJUST key to select the adjustment method: 1-point adjustment or 2-point adjustment. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 53...
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 1-point Adjustment When using this adjustment method, start with the steps 1 through 4 in the previous section Temperature Adjustment on page 53. Then proceed as follows. Select 1-point adjustment, press the SELECT key. Set the probe to a reference temperature. You can follow the stabilization from the graph display.
- a temperature test chamber - for example, a conical flask (1L) sealed by PTFE stopper with an inlet for a moisture probe - MMT330 by Vaisala - magnetic stirrer. Procedure: Define the water content of the oil sample with the titration. Use the oil moisture level that is close to real conditions in the process.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ NOTE If the oil sample is very dry and the temperatures are close to each other, it may cause inaccuracy to the calculation model. In order to get the best possible performance it is recommended to use oil conditions that represent real conditions in application.
If MM70 displays an error message, first check that the sensor is connected properly and let the probe dry if there is condensed water in the probe. In case of constant error, please contact Vaisala Service Center. For more information, see Vaisala Service Centers on page 61. Error Message Types...
