RH CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

 This is only a single point calibration. All transmitters are factory calibrated to meet/exceed 

published specifications. Field adjustment should not be necessary.

The dipswitch allows the user to calibrate the sensor through the software. Setting switch 4 ON will put the 
transmitter into setup mode allowing the increment and decrement to work. 

Once in setup mode, the output will change to 50% (2.5 V for 0-5 V or 5 V for 0-10 V). Each increment or 
decrement step will cause the output to change by 0.1 V for 0-5 V or 0.2 V for 0-10 V in setup mode. This can 
be used to show the user how far offset the transmitter is. To see the starting point again set switch 1 ON. 
This will show the 50% output again. When the unit is out of setup mode the output will go back to RH 
output. The maximum offset is 10%. There can be a total of 20 increments.

Increment RH Output 

This will shift the RH output linearly up in 0.5% steps. Switch 4 must be set to ON first. After switch 4 is on, 
each time switch 5 is set ON the RH output will increase by 0.5%. The increase goes into effect each time 
switch 5 is set to ON. 

Decrement RH Output 

This will shift the RH output linearly down in 0.5% steps. Switch 4 must be set to ON first. After switch 4 is 
on, each time switch 6 is set ON the RH output will decrease by 0.5%. The decrease goes into effect each 
time switch 6 is set to ON. 

Reset RH Output 

This will reset the RH output back to the original calibration. Switch 4 must be set to ON first. After switch 4 
is on, toggle switches 5 and 6 ON then OFF. After 5 and 6 are OFF slide switch 4 OFF.

When all calibration is completed, remember to place the switches back into the positions that correspond 
to the output needed as shown in 

FIGURE 7 

(p. 3).

TEST INSTRUCTIONS

Test mode will make the transmitter output a 
fixed 0%, 50%, or 100% value. The sensor will not 
affect the transmitter output. This is used for 
troubleshooting or testing only. 

Switches 1, 2, and 3 are used for test mode. The 
output will be a fixed 0%, 50%, or 100% signal 
that corresponds to the output selected with 
switches 6, 7, and 8. Refer to 

FIGURE 8

switch settings.

RH CONVERSION FORMULAS

0-5 VDC

[VDC signal] / 0.05 = percent RH
1.25 vdc output signal
1.25 / 0.05 = 25% RH

0-10 VDC

[VDC signal] / 0.10 = percent RH
7.50 vdc output signal
7.50 / 0.10 = 75% RH
