    Calibration of the MMT318 and MMT317 can be carried out by the user according to the instructions given in this chapter. The device can also be sent to Vaisala for calibration. See Vaisala Service Centers' contact information on page 47.
  • Page 37: Preparations Before The Calibration

    MMT317 is done by using two reference humidities, difference between the two humidity references must be at least 50% RH. An easy calibration can be done by using Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15. If using HMK15 calibrator, please use the adapter fitting (13.5 mm) with the MMT318 and MMT317 probe.
