Calibrating your Hygrometer
Items needed: Teaspoon, table salt, small bowl, big zip lock bag, water, Hygrometer
Takes: Approximately 6.5 hours
1. Place a teaspoon of table salt in a shallow dish and add enough water to make damp.
(a couple drops)
2. Next place the dish in a zip lock plastic bag and place the hygrometer next to the dish. Dont spill salt water on Hygrometer!
3. Seal the plastic bag with air inside the bag. Allow it to sit for at least 6 hours.
4. Check the humidity level and it should read around 75%. If not, note deviation and adjust screw on back to 75%. If no adjustment screw on back use the number on hygrometer as correct humidity level.
