2. Product overview
2.1 Introduction to Indigo80
Vaisala Indigo80 Handheld Indicator is an industrial-grade portable diagnostics tool for spotchecking and process monitoring, as well as for configuring, troubleshooting, calibrating, and
adjusting Vaisala Indigo-compatible probes and transmitters.
The Indigo80 indicator has two cable ports by which a combination of two probes or
transmitters can be simultaneously connected to the indicator. Indigo80 can communicate
with most current and future Vaisala probes and transmitters for measuring a wide range of
parameters.
Indigo80 has a multilingual, menu-based user interface that shows live measurement data
both numerically and graphically. The Indigo80 user interface is available in 10 languages.
Indigo80 user guidance is available for download at docs.vaisala.com.
For more information on the Indigo product family, see www.vaisala.com/indigo.
2.2
Basic features and options
• Flexible operation with one or two Vaisala Indigo-compatible probes or transmitters
• Numerical and graphical views of live measurement data
• Intuitive user interface available in 10 languages
• Rechargeable battery
• Data can be logged and transferred to PC via Vaisala Insight PC software (available for
download at www.vaisala.com/insight)

2.5.1 Lithium-ion battery related precautions
WARNING!
batteries:
• Do not place the lithium-ion battery in fire or apply heat to the battery.
• Do not damage the battery with a sharp or blunt object, step on the battery,
or otherwise damage the outer casing.
• Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get
wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, rupture, or ignite.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside
cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in
shortened lifespan and loss of performance.
• Never short circuit, reverse polarity, disassemble, damage, or heat the
battery over 100 °C (212 °F).
• DO NOT SPILL WATER ON A BURNING BATTERY. A fire extinguisher must
be used. If an exposed lithium-ion battery catches fire, it will burn even more
violently if it comes into contact with water or even moisture in the air.
Take the following precautions when handling lithium-ion
CAUTION!
batteries other than those provided by Vaisala will void the warranty of
Indigo80. Contact your nearest Vaisala Service Center for any battery-related
maintenance needs. See www.vaisala.com/support.

NFPA 70, Clause 725.121 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, C22.1.
For technical requirements of a compatible AC adapter, see Indigo80 specifications
(page 47).
Make sure that the AC adapter you are using to charge Indigo80 is
Use the AC adapter only in its specified environmental conditions.CAUTION!
2.5.3 ESD protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately
protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the
equipment housing.
To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:
• Handle ESD‑sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench
or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive
connection cord.
• If you are unable to take either precaution, touch a conductive part of the equipment
chassis with your other hand before touching ESD‑sensitive components.
• Hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching component contacts.

1 In the Calibrate / Adjust menu you can select the Guided calibration wizard or,
alternatively, enter manually the values needed to calibrate and adjust the probe. The
available options depend on the probe model and the parameter selected for calibration
and adjustment. For more information, see also Overview of calibration and adjustment
with Indigo80 (page 23).
The Calibrate / Adjust menu also contains calibration information about the connected
probe.
2 In the Environment settings menu you can give additional information about the
connected probe's measurement environment (such as pressure or temperature) to
improve measurement accuracy. The settings in Environment settings are interconnected
to the settings applied in Settings > Compensation setpoints.
The available environment settings depend on the probe and probe firmware version. For
detailed information on the probe-specific requirements for the settings, see your probe's
user documentation.
3 In the Sensor purge menu you can manually start the purge function for the probe models
that support it. Sensor purge heats up the sensor briefly to evaporate possible

compensation setpoints (information about measurement environment to improve
measurement accuracy).
The available settings depend on the probe and probe firmware version. For detailed
information on the probe-specific requirements for the settings, see your probe's user
documentation.
6 The Diagnostics view shows any probe-specific Modbus error codes. See the connected
probe's Modbus documentation in the probe's User Guide for register information. The

3.5.1 Overview of calibration and adjustment with Indigo80
The Indigo80 handheld indicator provides two ways to calibrate and adjust measurements for
probes: Guided calibration and Manual adjustment.
Figure 10 Indigo80 calibration methods for
probes
• Choose Guided calibration when you want the indicator to guide you through the
calibration process step by step. At the end you can also adjust the measurement, if
needed.
• Choose Manual adjustment when you want to freely set the reference and measured
values to adjust the measurement.
Calibrating a measurement with the indicator, including purge and adjustment, typically takes
1 ... 2 hours depending on the number of calibration points.
For detailed information on using Indigo80 for calibration and adjustment, see
your Indigo80-compatible probe's user documentation at docs.vaisala.com.
If you have a transmitter connected to Indigo80, you can also use the indicator to
test and adjust the input and output channels of the transmitter. For more
information, see your transmitter's user documentation at docs.vaisala.com.
