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.
