Maintenance 7-7
January 2006
Incorrect Dew Point
Display
If the dew/frost point reads incorrectly, first check the standard
preventive maintenance items:
1.
Clean the mirror (see Cleaning the Sensor Mirror on page 7-1).
2. Balance the sensor optics (see Balancing the Sensor Optics on
page 7-2).
An alternative method for checking the accuracy of the unit’s
electronics is to use a precision resistance decade box in place of the
platinum thermometer. Wire the decade box to the unit’s sensor
connector as shown in Figure 25, and verify that the resistance
settings shown in the table produce the temperatures shown.
