How to Calibrate Your AC Infinity Probe for Accurate Readings

Maintaining the accuracy of your AC Infinity probe is crucial for effectively monitoring and controlling your indoor environment. Whether you're using it for temperature, humidity, or both, regular calibration ensures reliable data for optimal climate control. This guide will walk you through the process.

Why Calibrate Your AC Infinity Probe?

Over time, environmental sensors, like the ones in your AC Infinity probe, can drift from their factory calibrations. This drift can lead to inaccurate readings, impacting the effectiveness of your climate control system. Inaccurate readings mean you might be over- or under-compensating, leading to wasted energy or an unsuitable environment.

Calibration is a simple process that restores your probe's accuracy, ensuring your climate control system operates optimally. This leads to:

• Energy Savings: Accurate readings prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
• Improved Climate Control: Maintain the ideal environment for your plants, server room, or any climate-sensitive application.
• Reliable Data: Trust your readings for informed decision-making.

What You'll Need

Before beginning, ensure you have the following:

• Your AC Infinity Probe: Make sure it's properly connected to your controller.
• Calibration Tools: You'll need a reliable thermometer and hygrometer, preferably calibrated ones, for accurate comparison. A digital thermometer/hygrometer combo unit is ideal.
• Access to a Stable Environment: Find a location with consistent temperature and humidity levels for at least 30 minutes.

Step-by-Step Calibration Guide

While the exact steps might vary slightly depending on your specific AC Infinity controller model, the general process remains consistent. Always refer to your controller's manual for model-specific instructions.

1. Prepare Your Environment

Find a stable environment and leave the probe in the same location for at least 30 minutes to allow the sensor to acclimate. This ensures accurate readings for comparison.

2. Take Baseline Readings

Using your calibrated thermometer and hygrometer, record the ambient temperature and humidity. Note these down precisely. This will serve as your benchmark.

3. Compare Readings

Now, take a reading from your AC Infinity probe. Compare these readings to the ones you recorded from your calibrated tools. Note any discrepancies.

4. Initiate Calibration (if necessary)

Many AC Infinity controllers offer built-in calibration features. Consult your controller's manual to access the calibration settings. The process often involves entering the difference between the probe reading and your calibrated reference readings. Follow the manual's instructions meticulously.

Important Note: Not all AC Infinity probes offer user calibration. If your probe does not offer this feature, you may need to contact AC Infinity support for assistance.

5. Post-Calibration Verification

After calibration, wait for at least 15 minutes and retake measurements with both your calibrated tools and the AC Infinity probe. Compare the readings again. The difference should be significantly reduced or eliminated. If not, repeat the calibration process or contact AC Infinity support.

Maintaining Accuracy

Regular calibration is key to maintaining accuracy. Consider calibrating your probe every 3-6 months, or more frequently if it's subjected to extreme conditions. Proper handling and storage will also extend its lifespan and accuracy.

By following these steps, you can ensure your AC Infinity probe delivers reliable data, optimizing your climate control and maximizing its value. Remember to always refer to your specific controller and probe manual for precise instructions.
