The R200/R250 Repla eable Sensor was arefully tested and alibrated before being
shipped from the fa tory. For greatest a ura y, we re ommend repla ing the sensor
every 6-12 months (does not in lude N400 and N450).
When your new Repla eable Sensor arrives, simply turn off the re order, remove and
dis ard the old sensor, plug in the new one and power the re order ba k on. Your
re order will ontinue to re ord temperature and humidity without interruption.

Operation
OperationOperation
Operation: The Instruments and Repla eable Sensor models listed above were spe ifi ally
designed to work together. No other sensors will work with the Instrument models listed. No
other Instrument will work with the Repla eable Sensors listed. The Repla eable Sensor must be
onne ted to the Instrument for the Instrument to operate properly.
Calibration
CalibrationCalibration
Calibration: Only the Repla eable Sensor is alibrated. The sensor, and all alibration defaults
and adjustments are stored on the Repla eable Sensor. A ura y is stri tly ontrolled by the
sensor – no adjustments are made by the Instrument. Readings are sent from the Repla eable
Sensor to the Instrument for storage purposes only. Certifi ates of Calibration / NISTs are only
supplied for the Repla eable Sensor for this reason.

Re alibration: When a Repla eable Sensor is due for re alibration the existing Repla eable Sensor
an be repla ed with a new Repla eable Sensor thus eliminating the need to return the entire
instrument for re alibration. Repla eable Sensors an be returned for re alibration as well.
