CALIBRATION
Page 17
INSERT PLATE SCREEN
This is the title of the first action screen display which appears when you select
CALIBRATION from the main menu.
The righthand column shows the calibration plate's true (theoretical) values adjusted to
the current cup temperature and the default or set atmospheric pressure. Next to it is
an empty column for readings.
Position: 1
indicates that the calibration plate should be positioned so that first row of
holes is measured. The row numbers are moulded on the sides of the plate. Ensure that
the plate is sitting snugly against the cup seal. The position indicated can be changed
with the + or - key, but you do not need to do this unless you want to repeat a reading.
RH Head
: indicates the actual relative humidity in the cup.
RH Set
: indicates the fixed value that the porometer will cycle about.
1.
Select Set RH and press + or - to temporarily disable the pump.
2.
Open the head and wave it about.
3.
Read the Head RH to determine the ambient RH.
4.
Adjust the Set RH value with the + or - key to be close to, and just below, the
ambient RH. (example: if ambient is 43%, set to 40%)
5.
Press SET to call up and change any of the default values on the settings screen.
6.
Press GO or EXIT to return to the INSERT PLATE screen.
7.
Insert the plate at the position indicated.
8.
Press GO to START cycling and reading.
