Ours is new, run continuously for 48 hours and been filled 6 times. Two analog hygrometers read 52%, this says 25. Can I calibrate it?

No you can't calibrate it. I have found it to be fairly accurate. Make sure the sensor (on the power cord) is not near the output at the top of the humidifier.

I have 2 of these and the humidistat seems to read differently in each one. You can't calibrate it. I just set it to achieve the humidity I want, using what I assume is a more accurate humidity gauge. This is the AcuRite gauge I use. AcuRite 00613A1 Indoor Humidity Monitor

I have not been able to and my belief is that its humidifier gauge doesn't function properly and never will.

The HDE is only accurate to within + or - 2 degrees. Most digital thermostats are in the same line. Older mercury are much worse. Some also depends on distance, the farther away the larger the reading sample, even with expensive guns. You can not self calibrate this one, sorry.

First did you calibrated the gauge? It will take a few days for it to settle. Do not put any cigars in it until You are done seasoning it. I would also recommend a digital gauge. It's very dry in my house right know due to the heater running so I add extra humicare packs to mine, but this summer I won't need them.

I timed it today and it was a little over 6 hours. It could have something to do with humidity or maybe someone else put in a little more water? I don't know. I had never timed it before but I know from the beginning it was more than 4 hours.

I did not "calibrate" my oven thermometer I just just the Admetior in the middle of the oven. Heated it to 350. Checked they were the same. 20 minutes later I checked again and they were the same. I can't really read my oven thermometer anymore, but at least I know it works.

The one I have is fairly accurate. Measured water in a 5 gal bucket, but have not tried verifying using a container with measurement lines on it.

I don't calibrate the meter. It works right out of the box for humidity level. I do not use the ph meter or the light meter. May be you can stick in in vinegar and see if it reads about 3

If you mean humidity, I set mine for 45 percent in the winter and run it 5 to 6 hours at night. Summer I don't use as the air conditioner dries the air.

The DC1100 does not provide a user accessible calibration method. One question is what would you use for calibrating it if you could adjust it? My best answer is that you should contact Dylos at: support@dylosproducts.com - The product's readings can be affected if it is put too close to a fluorescent lamp, and readings may vary depending on different locations in the same room. I am very happy with the monitoring ability when checking for effectiveness of my room air purifier. But, try Dylos Tech Support's email for more authoritative info.

I think it is just humidity but I will try and check that on the unit tomorrow and let you know.

There is no "calibration" procedure for this unit (at lease not one listed in the manual). I suppose one might measure a known quantity of distilled water at a specific temperature and see how accurately the unit measures that calculated weight.

Baseline calibration should be the water source for your project. The meter came out of the box pre-calibrated for me. I assume if you want to set the baseline at 0 you can use reverse osmosis water. I never had to calibrate mine and it gave accurate readings.

Hello,Mine is measuring 3.88 on average. If I were you I would reset and then see where it goes. Twenty five sounds outrageously high. I would check it again then if the numbers are still that high I would buy one of those radon detectors that you mail in to compare the readings. I love the unit I bought as I can move it to different places. I have reset it a few times but overall it seems to be working quite well. I really hope those readings are bogus and that it just needs to be reset. If not you will have to have a system put in for remediation.

I have never tried calibrating it with a thermometer close by but it seems to work well cycling my electric heaters on the ceiling. I have two of them and they they both work fine. Would buy them again.

Hi Brent, I've just opened one of them up, and the answer is no. There is no off set or gain potentiometer that would allow a calibration. I have been using temperature devices for years, and I have to have them calibrated annually. I have never had a 0.5C thermocouple be out out of spec--only an RTD one that goes to hundredths of a degree. They typically do not go bad or drift (unless damaged). Regards, Daryl

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

First, I would make sure all the settings are correct. If they are, and if you have humidity, then I would say you got a dud. We're in the northeast, where it's been disgustingly humid for it seems like forever, and ours is working fine. We empty it 3 or 4 times a day and run it on high, usually. If you got a defective unit, I don't know what the return policy is, but would think the company -- or Amazon -- will honor the warranty without any problem.
