USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Sensor Purge Sensor Purge is available for DMT345 and DMT346. The Purge should be carried out to achieve the shortest response times and the best long- term stability. Sensor Purge is an automatic procedure, in which the sensor is dried. Thus, the sensor will response very fast when installing the probe from an ambient to a dry gas.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ NOTE When Purge in power up is enabled, wait about 5 min after power up before taking measurements. The output channels are locked for the first operation minutes to the initial measured values. PURGE Use the command PURGE to start the manual Purge. Issue command PURGE to start Purge immediately.

Read the section Warranty on page 18. Contact a Vaisala Service Center or a local Vaisala representative. The latest contact information and instructions are available from www.vaisala.com. Addresses of the Service Centers are provided in section Service Centers on page 130.
Include the information specified in step 2 in the box with the faulty product. Also include a detailed return address. Ship the box to the address specified by your Vaisala contact. Vaisala Service Centers Vaisala Service Centers perform calibrations and adjustments as well as repair and spare part services.
It is recommended that the device should be sent to a Vaisala Service Center for calibration and adjustment. See contact information in section Vaisala Service Centers on page 129.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Opening and Closing Adjustment Mode Open the transmitter cover. The buttons needed in the adjustment are on the left-hand side of the motherboard, see Figure 2 on page 23. Press the ADJ button to enable the adjustment mode. The indicator led indicates the adjustment availability.
NOTE Reference humidities must be ~0 %RH and 30 ... 75 %RH. A suitable product for the two point RH calibration is for example the Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15. Press the ADJ button (see Figure 2 on page 23) to open the ADJUSTMENT MENU: measurement, press ►...
Using Serial Line NOTE Reference humidities must be ~0 %RH and 30 ... 75 %RH. A suitable product for the two point RH calibration is for example the Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15. Connect the DMT345/346 to a PC. See section Serial Line Communication on page 72.
