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.

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:
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.
CAUTION 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

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.

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

and HMP77B:
34 __________________________________________________________________ M210297EN-E

3. Select Chemical Purge, press START.
4. Confirm the starting by pressing YES. Chemical purge takes up to
6 minutes. During that time there are no readings on a display. A
message display appears once in 15 seconds and it tells you the
time required to complete the chemical purge. The chemical
purge symbol is shown on upper left corner.
5. When the chemical purge is done the basic display with readings

6. Stabilization of temperature reading can take a few minutes.
You can make a shortcut to the chemical purge function by setting one
shortcut key to refer Chemical Purge function, see page 25.
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
TRANSMITTERS
HM70 in Checking and Adjusting

The following transmitters can be calibrated by using HM70: HMDW
60/70, HMW 61/71, HMD/W 20/30, HMP130, HMP230/240 series,
HMT320/330 series, HMM210 series and DMW19 transmitter.
When calibrating in the field, check and adjust a fixed transmitter's

reading against a calibrated reference probe on the HM70.
One or two point calibrations can be done to industrial transmitters

and modules (HMP230/240 series, HMT320/330 series, HMM210
modules) by using a MI70 indicator and Vaisala's humidity calibrator
HMK15.

Calibration and Adjustment of HMD/W 60/70,

HMD/W 20/30 and HMP130 Series Transmitters
For checking and adjusting HM60/70 series and HM20/30/130 series
transmitters you need a MI70 and a HMP70 calibrated reference probe
and a connection cable. Only relative humidity channel of these
transmitters can be checked.
1. Connect the end of the HMA6070 (connection cable for

HM60/70-series) or HMA2030 (connection cable for HM20/30-
series) cable to either of the HM70's connector port located on

2. Connect the other end of the HMA6070 or HM20/30/130-cable
to the RH TEST connector (or TEST connector) of the transmitter's
motherboard.
3. Turn on MI70 indicator.
4. This concerns ONLY calibration of HM60/70-series: If a
transmitter has voltage output, select the RH input scale setting
0... 20 mA. If a transmitter has current output, set the indicator's
default setting to correspond the transmitter's signal (0... 20
mA/4...20 mA) as follows:
− Open the MENU: press OPEN.
40 __________________________________________________________________ M210297EN-E
− Select Settings, press

− Select Measurement settings, press
− Select RH scale: 4...20 mA or 0...20 mA, press ON

5. Now the reading of the transmitter is shown on the first or
middle row of the display, depending on the connector port to
which the calibration cable is connected. Value of the port I is
shown on the upper row of the display and the value of the
port II on the lower row of the display. Difference of the
readings is shown in the lowest row.
6. Ensure that the probes are located in the same conditions. You
can have an optional probe holder for the HMP76 probe to
attach the probe next to the probe of HMD60/70 or HMD20/30
(order code for the probe holder: HM36915).
7. Wait until the readings have stabilized (can take up to 20
minutes). If the difference between the humidity readings is less
than 2 % RH, there is no immediate need for adjustment.
8. Adjust the transmitters reading to correspond the HM70

reference probe by turning the small screw on the modules on
the transmitter's mother board marked with RH offset/ RH gain. If
the RH reading is < 65 %, turn the RH offset screw and if the RH
reading is >65 %, turn the RH gain screw. Turning to the
clockwise direction increases the reading, turning to opposite
direction decreases the reading.
Do not breathe towards the transmitter probes when adjusting
the reading.
9. When the transmitter reading is equal with the HM70 reference

probe's reading, adjustment is done.
10. Switch off HM70 and detach the cable from the transmitter and
the HM70 indicator.

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
34.
Before starting the adjustment mode, remove the screw that covers the
calibration button. Refer to Figure 2 on page 11 for the location of the
button.
Relative Humidity Adjustment
LiCl-NaCl Automatic Adjustment

LiCl-NaCl automatic adjustment is a two-point adjustment in
reference humidities of 11.3 % (LiCl) and 75 % (NaCl). You do not
have to feed the reference values, the HM70 displays the accurate
value based on the measured temperature and the Greenspan table
