Chapter 9 Calibration / Adjustment 

9  Calibration / Adjustment 

The device has undergone a calibration in the factory when deliverd. The recommended 
calibration interval is 12 months. An on-site calibration kit can be purchased. 

9.1  Preconditions 

 

Visibility must be at least 2000m / 6562 ft 

 

No precipitation 

 

PC / Laptop with serial interface 

 

UMB-Config-Tool.Net (PC-Software) 

 

Calibration kit (Lufft ref.-no.: 8366.UKAL2) 

The exact description of how to carry out the calibration can be found in the online help of the 
software UMB-ConfigTool.Net 

10  Communication 

Depending on the configuration of the device, the visibility can be requested in binary or 
ASCII-protocol. 

10.1  Binary-Protocol 

This operating manual will show you an example of an online data request. For more
