adjustment.
CALIBRATION CHECK
Measure the rh with an accurate rh measuring device.
Turn the setpoint adjustment until the setpoint indicator
reads IO percent below the indicated rh and allow the
Humidistat to build up BLP.
Turn the setpoint indicator up slowly using the setpoint
adjustment.
if the Humidistat bleeds off at 13 percent rh of the
indicated humidity, no further calibration is necessary. If
the Humidistat does not bleed off properly, proceed with
RECALIBRATION.
Measure the rh with an accurate rh measuring device.
Turn the setpoint adjustment until the setpoint indicator
reads 10 percent above the indicated rh and allow the
Humidistat to build up BLP.
Turn the setpoint indicator down slowly using the
If the Humidistat bleeds off at &3 percent rh of the
indicated humidity, no further calibration is necessary. If
the Humidistat does not bleed off properly, proceed with
RECALIBRATION.
RECALIBRATION
CAUTION
These Humidistats are sensitive devices and should
be handled with extreme care during calibration. Do
not breathe directly on the element when the cover
is off.
Ensure the system is stabilized and the main air is
maintained at normal pressure between 13 and 21
psi (90 and 145 kPa). Factory calibration is 18 psi
(125 kPa).
Remove the Humidistat cover.
Install the Pressure Gage into the gage tap (Fig. 4)
using the Gage Adapter.
Measure the rh with an accurate rh measuring device.
Use the setpoint adjustment to set the setpoint
indicator at the actual relative humidity.
Adjust the calibration screw (Fig. 4) until the Pressure
Gage reads 0 psi (0 kPa).
Readjust the calibration screw slowly until the
Pressure Gage reads 8 +I psi (55 f7 kPa).
Allow sufficient time for a complete response and
stabilization, then recheck pressure. The Humidistat
is now calibrated.
Remove the Pressure Gage and Gage Adapter.
NOTE:
If the gage tap fails to seal itself properly
after the Pressure Gage is removed, bleed
off a small amount of air and insert Gage
Tap Plug 14002172-001 into the gage tap.
Replace the Humidistat cover.
Set the Humidistat at the desired setting.

causes, and solutions. For any problems not covered in Table
