Calibration and Adjustment Using Trimmers

HMM100 series modules have two trimmers mounted on the component

board. These trimmers allow for easy adjustment of the offset and gain of

the humidity measurement.

The modules are shipped with the trimmers centered. Turning the

trimmer counter-clockwise will decrease the offset or gain, and turning

clockwise will increase it. The adjustment range is ± 5% for both offset

and gain.

Offset correction requires a < 50 %RH reference. Offset and gain

correction requires additionally a > 50 %RH reference, with over 30

%RH difference between the two points.

NOTE

The trimmers will only turn 135 degrees each way, less than half a

rotation. Do not force the trimmer past the stopping point.

Trimmers for Offset and Gain

The procedure on page 55 provides an example adjustment of offset and

gain using the Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15, which is a saturated

salt calibrator. It is assumed that the module is powered and you can

measure the analog output reading.

NOTE

For best results, use the ACAL command to calibrate the currently active

analog output mode before using the trimmers. For instructions on how

to do this, see section Calibrate Analog Output on page 39.
