2.4. Psychometric Diagram
>30%RH: ± 1.8°F
>30%RH: ± 1°C
Air consists of dry atmospheric gasses (nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) and water vapor. The maximum amount of water
vapor a volume of air can hold depends on its temperature. Beyond this maximum, any additional water vapor
immediately condenses into liquid water droplets, creating fog, dew, and other forms of condensate. This
phenomenon is known as saturation, and the temperature at which it occurs is called the dew point. The amount
of water vapor in the air is called humidity. This is typically expressed two ways:
Absolute humidity (measured in units such as grams of water per kilograms of air) is the amount of
water vapor in the air. This is independent o f temperature.
Relative humidity (measured as a percentage) is the ratio of absolute humidity to the maximum amount
of water vapor a volume of air can hold at its dew point.
A psychometric chart known as a Mollier diagram (see below) displays absolute humidity versus temperature
for different values of relative humidity. This chart is useful for determining the absolute humidity and dew point
for air at a given relative humidity and temperature.
A
bsolute humidity (g of water/kg of dry air)
For example, in the preceding chart, the blue lines indicate that for air 21°C (70°F) and 60% RH, the absolute
humidity is 9.3g/kg and the dew point is 12.8°C (55°F).

5.2.5. Influence of Temperature o n th e Relative Humidity Measurement
Relative humidity (%)
Temperature (°C)
The relative humidity is highly dependent on the temperature. To calibrate the instrument, the two sensors (the
reference sensor and the sensor of the instrument) must indicate the same temperatur e. At each measurement,
you must note both values: the temperature and the relative humidity. They are inseparable.
5.2.6. Response Time
Typical response time with an air speed of (6.6M/S (2m/s):
Temperature: τ(66%) = 30s and τ(90%) = 90s.

6. MAINTENANCE
Except for batteries, the instrument contains no parts that can be replaced by personnel who
have not been specially trained and accredited. Any unauthorized repair or replacement of a part
by an “equivalent” may significantly impair safety.
6.1. Cleaning
1. Turn the instrument OFF.
2. Clean instrument with a soft cloth, dampened with soapy water.
3. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry rapidly with a dry cloth or forced air. Do not use alcohol, solvents, or
hydrocarbons.
6.2. Battery Replacement
The symbol indicates the remaining battery life. When the symbol is empty, all of the batteries must be
replaced. To do this, turn the instrument OFF and refer to §1.4 for the replacement procedure.
Spent batteries must not be treated as ordinary household waste. Take them to an appropriate recycling
facility.
6.3. Firmware Update
AEMC may periodically update the instrument’s firmware. Updates are available for free download. To check for
updates:
1. C
onnect the instrument to the Data Logger Control Panel.
2. Click Help.
3. Click Update. If the instrument is running the latest firmware, a message appears informing you of this.
If an update is available, the AEMC Download page automatically opens. Follow the instructions list
on this page to download the update.
After firmware updates, it may be necessary to reconfigure the instrument (see §2).
