When your new Replaceable Sensor arrives, simply turn off the recorder, remove and
discard the old sensor, plug in the new one and power the recorder back on. Your
recorder will continue to record temperature and humidity without interruption.
USER CALIBRATION
If you have an accurate standard to compare against, the Replaceable Sensor calibration can be
adjusted at one point. This will not adjust the span and is not as accurate as replacing the
Replaceable Sensor with a newly calibrated one.
1.
To activate Calibration mode, turn the unit on and press and hold both the On/Off and the
Adjust-Down button until the LED is solid green. The LED will then blink amber and at which
point only the pen being adjusted will
show on the display.
Note:
Make sure to press the Adjust-Down button first so the unit will not turn off
2.
To raise the unit of measurement, press the Adjust-Down button. To lower the unit of
measurement, press the Adjust-Up button.
3.
When Calibration is complete, press the On/Off button. The adjustment is stored in memory
even after you turn the unit off or if AC power fails.
Note: After two hours, if no buttons are pressed, the unit will time out of Calibration mode
and resume normal operation. If you wish to cancel the Calibration, simply enter Calibration
mode and toggle through the steps without adjusting displayed readings. Exit by pressing
the On/Off button. You have now restored factory calibration settings.
Note: It is recommended that you use a controlled chamber when determining if Calibration
is necessary. Adjusting the pen in an open room is not recommended as air flow can vary
greatly within a very small area.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Why isn't the chart keeping time or running slow?
The chart may be hung up or restricted, possibly caused by a rip on the outer edge of the
chart or the chart hub, or the chart may be caught between the arm and pen(s) arm
platform.
Incorrect chart installed for the selected chart speed.
Why did the chart stop turning?
Chart hung up or restricted, (ripped chart)
Unit may be "locked up", this can be confirmed by pressing any of the buttons on the
keypad, if the unit is locked up there will be no response to button presses and the Chart
Recorder may appear to be working, but the readings won't change, also the chart will
not rotate. Remove power and battery, and then re-power.
Why don't the display and chart match?
Dip switches set for a specific range, but using chart for another range, or vice versa.
Pen(s) not inserted on pen arm(s) all the way
To adjust pen(s) to match chart see “Pen Home Adjust” in the “Need to Know” section of
