EMC recommendations for wiring
The requirements of EMC standards as specied in the technical data are only fullled with the probes connected
either directly or with Setra original extension cables to SRH400.
• SRH400 with metal enclosure must be grounded either at the designated points on the inside, or outside at the
mounting plate. The probe must not be grounded; it must be electrically isolated from the GND.
• Locate the SRH400, the probe cable and the output cables as far as possible from sources of electromagnetic
disturbances.
• For the analogue outputs use either shielded or twisted cable pairs. The shield shall be grounded at one end
only, preferably at the controller side.
• Cable loops may impact on the EMC behavior of SRH400. Keep all cables as short as possible. Unused wires
shall be grounded at both ends. Run all cables as close as possible to the ground potential, for instance close to
the walls or steel structure elements.

The calibration documents the accuracy of a measurement
device. The device under test (specimen) is compared
with the reference and the deviations are documented in a
calibration certicate. During the calibration, the specimen
is not changed or improved in any way.
Adjustment
The adjustment improves the measurement accuracy of a
device. The specimen is compared with the reference and
brought in line with it. An adjustment can be followed by a
calibration which documents the accuracy of the adjusted
specimen.
8.2 Sensing adjustment with SRH400 basic
device
• 1-point RH or T adjustment for optimal performance over
a narrow RH or T range.
Example: climate monitoring in a pharma manufacturing
site. RH range: 40…60 % RH, RH adjustment point: 50 %
RH T range: 15…25 °C (59…77 °F) T adjustment point: 20
°C (68 °F)
• 2-point RH or T adjustment for accurate measurement
over a wide RH or T range.
Example: outdoor measurement
RH range: 10 … 100 % RH, RH adjustment points: 40
% RH, 70 % RH T range: -30 … 35 °C (-22...95 °F), T
adjustment points: -10 °C (14 °F), 15 °C (59 °F)
• The adjustment data is saved into the probes. The SRH400
basic unit is not affected by the adjustment procedure.
Consequently, it is possible to replace the probes at any
moment.
• Start the adjustment procedure with the low point (e.g. 30
% RH) and continue with the high point (e.g. 80 % RH)
• For accurate calibration or adjustment, the specimen and
the reference must have same T.
• During calibration or adjustment the T shall remain
constant.
• Allow min. 30 min, stabilization time for RH calibration or
adjustment.
• If needed, clean the sensors and replace the lter cap by
a new one.
1. Set the jumper to RH calib or to T Calib.
2. Place the probe into the corresponding calibrator and let
it stabilize at the rst point (low) for at least 30 minutes.

8.4 Return to factory calibration
During normal measurement mode of SRH400 (NOT during
adjustment mode!) press and hold together S1 and S2 for 5
seconds. The return to factory calibration is indicated by one
flash of the LED “Calib”.
The set includes a test report for each reference probe.
For SRH400 basic unit dedicated for only one combined RH
& T probe, both RH and T check shall be performed with each
reference probe connected at the single probe connection
socket.
For SRH400 basic unit ordered with for two separate RH and
T probes, the RH check shall be done with each reference
probe connected to the rst (left) socket, and then the T
check with the same probe connected to the second (right)
socket.
If the SRH400 basic unit features a display, as soon as the reference probe is connected the display shall show the
corresponding RH and T reference values.
