Humidity sensors are used to monitor and report the moisture levels within a specific environment, such as the interior of a vehicle, cargo compartments, containers, or refrigerated trailers. This data helps prevent damage to temperature-sensitive goods by monitoring and controlling moisture levels effectively.
To Get Started
- Log in to your account.
- Go to Settings > General > Object.
- Double-click on the record for which you want to set the humidity.
- Navigate to Sensors.
To Calibrate the Sensor
Please Note: Humidity sensors always come integrated with temperature sensors. You should have a temperature sensor if you want to activate a humidity sensor.
- Activate the analog port connection type by clicking on the checkbox given in the Active column.
- Click on the dropdown of Connected Sensor and select Humidity.
- Click on the Calibration
button. A new window will appear.
- Enter the Multiplication Factor, a unit correction value that adjusts raw data by multiplying it. This factor is determined based on the specific behavior of the device.
A Multiplication Factor is a value applied to adjust raw data to its correct unit. It varies depending on the device and ensures accurate measurements by standardizing the unit.
-
- From the dropdown of Connection Type select the temperature sensor from which you want to derive humidity.
- From the dropdown of Connection Type select the temperature sensor from which you want to derive humidity.
Please Note: Temperature sensors usually provide data in temperature units, like 10ºC. However, if your device outputs data in voltage, it is essential to configure this setting accordingly.
-
- Select the checkbox for Voltage if the device transmits data in voltage.
- Upon selecting the Voltage option, users can calibrate for voltage data by choosing one of the two available methods:
- Manual Calibration: You can add individual voltage ranges and humidity by clicking on the ➕ icon.
- Upload Calibration via XLS: You can upload an XLS file for calibration. mentioning different voltage ranges and humidity.
- Download a Sample file and specify the voltage range by entering values in the Voltage From and Voltage To columns, providing the corresponding Humidity readings for each range.
- Upload the calibration file with Upload File option.
- Manual Calibration: You can add individual voltage ranges and humidity by clicking on the ➕ icon.
- Upon selecting the Voltage option, users can calibrate for voltage data by choosing one of the two available methods:
- Select the checkbox for Voltage if the device transmits data in voltage.
-
- Click on the Save 💾 icon on the humidity calibration window to save the entire configuration.
