4.3 Replacing/Recalibrating Moisture Probes

For maximum accuracy, moisture probes should be returned to the factory 
for recalibration every 6–12 months, depending on the application. Under 
very severe conditions, more frequent calibrations are recommended 
However, under very mild conditions, less frequent calibrations are 
necessary. Contact a GE applications engineer for your specific 
recommended calibration frequency

All new or recalibrated moisture probes must be installed in accordance 

with the instructions in Chapter 2, 

Installation

.

IMPORTANT:

To maintain good contact at the terminal block and to avoid 
damaging the pins on the wiring connector, pull the connector 
straight off (not at an angle) the terminal block. Then, make 
the cable connections while the connector is off the unit. 
Finally, after the wiring is complete, push the connector 
straight onto the terminal block (not at an angle).

After the probe has been installed and wired, enter the probe calibration 

curve data as described in Chapter 3, 

Operation and Programming

. Each 

probe is shipped with its own 

Calibration Data Sheet

, which includes the 

serial number for that probe.
