Tip :
Let the LabSwift-aw running all the time. In this way you safe time during the
warm-up of a restart. The energy consumption is very low.
5.3. Important Notes About The Sensor
The sensor supplied with the Novasina LabSwift-aw was factory tested and
then calibrated at the following six a
w
-value reference points : 0.11aw, 0.33aw,
0.58aw, 0.75aw, 0.84aw and 0.90aw.
Humidity sensors are subject to certain ageing phenomena, which manifest
themselves in deviations from the original value. For the most part, these
deviations can be compensated by recalibration. We therefore recommend
you to periodically check the accuracy at the humidity reference points and to
recalibrate the instrument if required. The standards are reusable and have a
long lifetime with adequate handling. All calibration data are stored on the
intelligent sensor. Thus a new sensor can be used directly without calibrating
the LabSwift-aw afterwards.
Correct handling of the sensor :
Note :
Before starting the measurement. The Novasina sensor is a highly sensitive
precision device. Please observe the following rules in order to avoid measuring
errors or even destruction of the sensor :
• Do not let fall the measurement element or the LabSwift-aw or physically
shock it. The sensor may not be moisturized (cleaning)
• Do not process a measurement if the white sinter filter is not mounted.
• Use Novasina protection filters, which can be mounted in front of the
sensor, if you may measure aggressive substances as acids, alcohols or
aromas. The protection filters help to keep away such substances. Otherwise
the system might drift away permanently. Contact your local Novasina
dealer for the suitable filter protection.
• Sensors that are not used should be stored in a dust free, neutral
atmosphere at room temperature and ambient humidity.
• At non-use of the LabSwift-aw the measurement chamber should be kept
empty and closed.
• Never open or take the measuring cell apart or clean the sensor with any
chemical or mechanical parts! The sensor itself cannot be cleaned. All
attempt will expire the warranty.
• Under no circumstances connect the sensor to an Ohmmeter or such like.
This may damage the sensor and will expire the warranty of the sensor!
