2.2 Basic Setup
The HygroPro
II
transmitter is easily programmed to meet the user’s requirements by referring to the menu map in
Figure 16 on the previous page and following the instructions in this section. As noted in the figure, the following six
top-level parameters can be accessed and set on the HMI without any passcode-
a) No. of Views
b) Display
c) Output
d) HART
e) Constants
f) About
The
Settings menu requires a 6-digit User passcode (default value 111111) while the Service menu (see Chapter 3)
requires a device-specific 6-digit Service passcode (contact Panametrics Tech Support) for access.
2.2.1 Calibration Reminder settings on initial power up
One of the new features offered by the HygroPro
II
transmitter is automated calibration reminders to the end user.
This feature uses an internal clock to determine elapsed time from the HygroRTE probe calibration date.
The initial power up screen on the HygroPro
II
is shown on the left. After
going through the boot up splash screen, the device displays the
following three choices for the calibration interval:
• 1 Year
• 6 Months
• Skip
The Calibration Interval is defined in months from the probe calibration
date after it has been read from the probe non-volatile memory upon
initial power up. The end user is expected to set this calibration interval
depending of their facility’s policy to one of the above settings.
CAUTION!
Panametrics strongly recommends that the HygroRTE
probe be sent back to the Billerica, USA or Shannon, IE
facilities for recalibration every 6–12 months to ensure
accuracy and reliability of the moisture readings.
