5.2.1 Setting Calibrated Humidity 

The console allows you to calibrate both the indoor and outdoor humidity.    To calibrate humidity, you will 
need an accurate source such as a sling psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit. 
 
To calibrate indoor humidity, in the Set Mode with indoor humidity flashing, press the 

+

 key or 

MIN/MAX

 

key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the calibrated or known 
humidity source.    To return the indoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the 

SET

 key for 3 

seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. 
 
To  calibrate  outdoor  humidity,  in  the  Set  Mode  with  outdoor  humidity  flashing,  press  the 

+

  key  or 

MIN/MAX

 key to increase or decrease the humidity setting (in increments of 1%) to match the calibrated 

or known humidity source. To return the outdoor humidity to the measured value, press and hold the 

SET

 

key for 3 seconds and the humidity will return to the uncalibrated value. 
 

Note:

 The remote (outdoor) thermo-hygrometer will always display the measured humidity level and not 

the calibrated humidity level. Only the console will show the calibrated value.   
 

Note:

 The dew point calculation is based on the calibrated humidity level. 

 

5.2.2 Setting Barometric Pressure 

The  display  console  displays  two  different  pressures:  absolute  (measured)  and  relative  (corrected  to 
sea-level). 
 
To  compare  pressure  conditions  from  one  location  to  another,  meteorologists  correct  pressure  to 
sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected 
pressure  (the  pressure  your  location  would  be  at  if  located  at  sea-level)  is  generally  higher  than  your 
measured pressure. 
 
To  determine  the  relative  pressure  for  your  location,  locate  an  official  reporting  station  near  you  (the 
internet  is  the  best  source  for  real  time  barometer  conditions,  such  as  Weather.com  or 
Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station. 
 
To  change  the  relative  pressure,  when  pressure  is  flashing  when  in  Setting  Mode  press  the 

+

  key  or 

MIN/MAX

 key to increase or decrease the relative pressure setting to match the official reporting station.
