Monnit ALTA Sensors Calibration
Monnit ALTA sensors have various applications, including greenhouse humidity monitoring, agriculture environmental monitoring, art gallery and museum environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, general weather and environmental monitoring, and many more. To calibrate a sensor, log in to your iMonnit account and select the sensor you want to calibrate from the Sensors pane.
Zero calibration is performed by placing the sensor in a clean environment or fresh air to zero out the sensor. For gas sensors, connect the calibration gas cylinder with a known concentration of the target gas. For temperature or humidity sensors, place the sensor in a controlled environment with a known temperature or humidity level3.
Adjust the calibration settings by entering the known concentration or condition value into the calibration settings and saving the calibration. After calibration, remove the calibration gas or condition and check the readings to ensure they match the known values.
Commercial grade sensors are designed for ordinary environments (normal room temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure). However, they should not be used under certain conditions, such as corrosive gas or deoxidizing gas, volatile or flammable gas, dusty conditions, low-pressure or high-pressure environments, wet or excessively humid locations, places with salt water, oils chemical liquids or organic solvents, where there are excessively strong vibrations, or other hazardous conditions.
Industrial grade sensors are enclosed in reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosures, designed for both indoor and outdoor use. These enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against the ingress of solid foreign objects like dust and the damaging effects of water. They are safe from falling dirt, protect against wind-blown dust, and will remain undamaged by ice formation on the enclosure.
