1. The receiver unit indicates an alarm condition, but my storage con-
tainer’s humidity gauge reads a humidity level within specification
(<+/- 5% of calibrated value).
a. In a new installation, it may be necessary to recalibrate as
humidity sensing may drift as sensor electronics become
humidified.
b. The calibrated value may not be what you think it is. Recalibrate
and 15 minutes after you start the calibration mode, check the
gauge in your storage container. The reading will be very close to
calibrate value, and it will be relative to your container’s gauge.
Now when there is an alarm condition you can get a better idea
the range of your gauge.
2. I take the sensor unit out of the container and it doesn’t alarm.
a. The humidity level outside your container may be within specifi-
cation (<+/- 5% of calibrated value). Use the gauge in your con-
tainer to check the humidity outside the container.
b. If you are using different gauges inside and outside the container
you may, you gauge readings may be incorrect. Most humidity
gauges are not well calibrated (except precision laboratory mod-
els). Two gauges in the same container can show a difference of
as much as 10%! Put both gauges in the same environment to
see difference and use it adjust your readings accordingly.
3. I’m not sure of the system is working.
a. If the green LED on the receiver/alarm unit blinks (about every
10 seconds) then it is receiving an OK condition from the sensor.
If not, refer to step 3 of the “How to Use” section of this manual.
4. The receiver unit is hot to the touch.
a. The receiver will get hot. If you need to remove the unit from
the wall outlet, grab the unit from the top and bottom for your
comfort.
