Examples of options to calibrate the inside temperature sensor.
The MINOTAIR uses sensors to measure outside and indoor temperatures. However, since
the sensors are integrated into the device, their temperature readings may differ from what
the sensors would have measured if they had been located outside the house (for outside
temperature) or in a living space like the living room (for indoor temperature). In fact,
temperatures measured by each sensor will be directly impacted
by the air intake duct’s
level of insulation and airflow rate.
To compensate for this discrepancy, the MINOTAIR temperature sensors must be
calibrated. The calibration process is performed once the device
’s
installation is complete.
For best results, a difference of at least 10°C (20°F) between outside and indoor
temperatures is preferred when calibrating. The greater the difference, the more precise
the calibration will be.
2.7 Calibrating outside temperature.
Press
R
to start the calibration process. The device
will take 300 seconds to stabilize. During this time, measure the outside temperature
with a thermometer. Once the device is stable, press
R
to display two arrows "
U D
"
making it possible to increase or decrease the setpoint using the
U
and
D
buttons.
Increase the calibration value until the result value is equal to the temperature
measured with the thermometer. A normal calibration value should range between
1.0 and 8.0. If the value is much more than this, indoor air is likely infiltrating the intake
duct (check the ductwork) or the temperature sensor is defective.
2.8 Calibrating indoor temperature.
If the device has already been stabilized, it is not
necessary to wait 300 seconds again. After measuring the indoor temperature with a
thermometer, press
R
to display two arrows "
U D
". Increase the calibration value until
the result value is equal to the temperature measured with the thermometer. A
normal calibration value should range between 0.1 and 5.0. If the value is much more
than this, cold air is likely infiltrating the return ducts (check the ductwork) or the
temperature sensor is defective.
