10. Calibration
Temperature and humidity measurements shown on the CM7015 console can be
calibrated manually if desired. This is not typically required; however it can be an option
if you wish to calibrate the device to take measurements in-line with another specific
instrument nearby. For example – comparing temperature readings between digital and
liquid thermometers will generally produce different results, as these devices can retain
heat at vastly differing rates. If you’d prefer these different instruments to measure in-
line with one another, the calibration mode will allow you to tweak the measurements on
the console by adding or subtracting from the true measured value. This will not adjust
the measurements shown on the CM7 Sensor, but only the readings as displayed on the
internal console.
Calibration is only useful if you have a reliable, previously calibrated source you are
able to directly compare readings against. It’s not recommended to compare readings
measured by this device to those you may see online, or weather forecasts on television.
A difference of even a few feet in distance can produce vastly different measurements,
and many of these resources use averages or update hourly throughout the day. The
purpose of this type of weather station is to measure the current conditions in your
immediate surroundings, so making comparisons with stations elsewhere will likely lead
to varying results!
Please also keep in mind that calibrating the CM7015 to match another instrument will
not guarantee identical readings at all times. A measurement accuracy of +/- 1°C for
both instruments would mean of a difference of 2°C is still within expected range for
these devices as the temperature rises or falls from the calibrated value.
Temperature Calibration
While on the home screen, press and hold the
SET
&
CHANNEL
keys together for 5
seconds to enter the temperature calibration mode – the indoor temperature reading
will begin to flash.
While this is flashing, pressing the
or
keys will decrease/increase an adjustment
value in small amounts, which will then be applied to the reading measured by the
console. Press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
key to select this value and return to the home
screen.
