Once you have removed the Model 4000 EXP from its external packaging, please visually inspect the
unit for damage. If damage is found, please immediately contact your supplier.
The GEO Model 4000 EXP Humidity Calibrator generates and maintains a controlled humidity and
temperature environment for the purpose of testing or calibrating humidity and temperature sensors,
also known as hygrometers. The humidity calibration range is 10 % up to 90 %, while the temperature
range is +/- 5°C from room temperature (Typical room temperature is 23°C ).
See the full technical specications (page 21).
The system’s accuracy is achieved via a NIST traceable internal control and reference probe.
The Model 4000 EXP can calibrate many hygrometer types, including but not limited to:
• Probes
• Data-loggers
• Chart Recorders
•Additional Assorted Hygrometers
Please review the dimensions of the calibration chamber to ensure compatibility with the size require-
ments of any Hygrometers you intend to calibrate.
