1.12 Humidity verification
Humidity measurement accuracy is checked by applying an
accurate 0-1V DC voltage to the Model 6517A and verifying
that the humidity readings are within specified limits.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the power off, connect the DC calibrator to the
Model 6517A HUMIDITY connector, as shown in Fig-
ure 1-11. Use short lengths of solid #22AWG copper
wire and alligator clips to make the connections, and be
sure to observe proper polarity (calibrator HI to HU-
V and calibrator LO to HUMIDITY -V).
2. Turn on the power to the Model 6517A and the calibra-
tor, and allow a one-hour warm-up period before mak-
ing measurements.
3. Select the Model 6517A humidity display with DIS-
PLAY PREV key.
4. Set the DC calibrator output to +0.2500V.
CAUTION
Do not 2V input to the
HUMIDITY jack, and be sure to
observe proper polarity. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the unit.

5. Allow the reading to settle, then verify that the Model
6517A humidity reading is within the limits summa-
rized in Table 1-12.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of the voltage/humidity
reading combinations summarized in Table 1-12.
