Chapter 3 ____________________________________________________ Preparations Before Use

CHAPTER 3

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

Installing and Recharging the Batteries

1. If you are using alkaline batteries, remove the back plate of the

indicator and insert the batteries. If the HM70 is ordered with a
rechargeable battery pack, it is already in place as shipped from
the factory.

2. Recharge the battery pack as follows: Plug in the recharger

connector to the base of the indicator and connect the recharger to
a wall socket. A battery symbol in the corner of the display starts
to roll.

- It is not recommended to use HM70 during the first recharging.

After the first charge cycle is complete, you can use the HM70
while recharging.

- The duration of recharging depends on the charge level of the

battery pack. 4 hours is a typical recharging time. The
recommended first charging time is 6 hours.

3. When the battery symbol stops rolling, the battery is fully

recharged. Disconnect the recharger.

Chapter 4 ______________________________________________________ Taking Measurements

CHAPTER 4

TAKING MEASUREMENTS

If you are starting the HM70 for the first time, see Chapter 3
Preparations Before Use first.

To take measurements with the HM70, follow the instructions below:

CAUTION

1. Connect the probe to MI70-indicator.

2. Press POWER ON/OFF button.

3. If you have a chemical purge option in your probe (HM70 series

probe versions B), remember to carry out chemical purge
regularly, see page 34.

4. In case there is a risk for condensation, use the optional preheat

(HM70 series probe versions B) when installing the probe, see
page 36.

5. Install the probe to the measuring position. If measuring in

pressurized processes, see the instructions on page 21.

6. Before measurements, ensure that the air pressure setting of

HM70 is correct. See page 21.

7. The basic display opens. Let the reading stabilize.

If you need to disconnect the probe from the indicator, first press

POWER ON/OFF button to turn the indicator OFF. This ensures that all

settings and data are saved properly.

VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 15

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________

Beware of Temperature Differences

In humidity measurement and especially in calibration it is essential
that temperature of the probe and measuring environment is the same.
Even a small difference in temperature between the environment and
the probe causes an error. As the curve below shows, if the
temperature is +20 °C and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a
difference of ±1 °C between the environment and the probe causes an
error of ±6 %RH. When the humidity is 90 %RH, the corresponding
error is ±5.4 %RH.

A temperature difference of a few degrees can also cause water to
condense on the sensor surface. HUMICAP®® sensor starts to function
normally as soon as the water has evaporated. If the condensed water
is contaminated, the life span of the probe may shorten and calibration
may change. See also information about sensor preheat, page 36.

MI70 Link Program for Transferring Recorded Data to PC

The recorded data can be transferred to a PC by using MI70 Link
program.

MI70 Link program can be ordered from Vaisala, see the list of
accessories on page 77. You can examine the recorded data easily in
Windows® environment and transfer it further to a spreadsheet
program (such as Microsoft® Excel) to be modified.

MI70 Link Program for Real-Time PC Monitoring

You can monitor HM70 readings directly with a PC by using MI70
Link program. MI70 Link program can be ordered from Vaisala, see
the list of accessories on page 77.

Together with the USB instrument cable (optional accessory 219687)
or the serial connection cable it is easy to transfer logged and real time
measurement data from the HM70 to a PC.

When using the USB cable consider the following: the MI70 Link
program contains the driver needed for the USB connection. For the
system requirements and installation, see the back of the installation
CD. Follow the installation instructions on the CD. Check that the
USB cable is not connected. The MI70 Link Setup Wizard will install
Vaisala MI70 Link on your computer. Installing the USB instrument
driver can take a few minutes. After the installation is finished,
connect the USB cable to the USB port on your PC. Windows will
detect the new device, and use the driver automatically.

You can now start monitoring the HM70 readings in real time with a
PC using the MI70 Link program. In case the MI70 Link cannot find
the instrument, check the following:

- the HM70 is switched on

- the USB instrument cable/serial connection cable is properly
connected to the USB/serial port of your PC

- another application has not reserved the connection

Chemical Purge (Optional)

Chemical purge is an optional feature of the HM70 series humidity
probes (B-version probes). In some specific applications the sensor
gain may decrease gradually due to an interference caused by some
particular chemical present in the ambient. The sensor polymer
absorbs the interfering chemical; this reduces the polymer's ability to
absorb water molecules and so decreases the sensor sensitivity. In
chemical purge the interfering chemical is evaporated by heating the
humidity sensor to a temperature of +160 °C for 2 minutes.

For the most applications it will be sufficient to perform the chemical
purge once a week. For applications where HM70 is subject to high
concentrations of chemicals, chemical purge should be performed
more frequently, in extreme cases before each measurement.

Turning Chemical Purge ON

The following applies only with humidity probes HMP75B, HMP76B

VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 35

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________

Sensor Preheat (Optional)

Sensor preheat is an optional feature of the HM70 series humidity
probes (B-version probes).

In some measurement applications, unwanted dew formation makes
humidity measurement difficult or even impossible. High humidity
combined with rapidly changing outdoor temperature can condense
the water vapour in the air onto the sensor. Until this dew evaporates
or dries, it is impossible to obtain a true reading. In sensor preheat the
sensor is heated to a temperature level of approximately +100 °C for
up to 4 minutes. This is to prevent possible condensate from the
sensor.

When setting the probe from outdoor conditions into warm and humid
conditions there can be large temperature difference between the
probe and external environment. In such a conditions turn on the
sensor preheat immediately before installing the probe to prevent
condensation forming on the probe.

Figure below shows how response time can be dramatically shortened
and water condensation on the sensor avoided when using sensor
preheat.

CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF HM70 SERIES PROBES

General Information about Calibrations

The HM70 is fully calibrated as shipped from factory. Adjustment
shall be done if there is a reason to believe that device is not within
the accuracy specifications. However, if HM70 is used as a reference
instrument in humidity measurements, the humidity recalibration is
recommended every year.

It is recommended to send the device to Vaisala Service Centers for
calibration, see contact information on page 68. Alternatively user can
calibrate and adjust HM70 by following the instructions given in this
chapter.

When using Vaisala humidity calibrator HMK15, use the adapter
fitting (13.5 mm hole) with the probes HMP76 and HMP77. Probe
HMP75 does not need the adapter fitting. If chemical purge option is
available, it should always be performed before calibration, see page
