Sensor calibration
« on: July 12, 2020, 05:27:09 AM »
Hello,

I bought an Froggit HP1000SE Pro with the PM2.5 sensor, and before send my data on internet I would like to calibrate all the sensor. SO do you have any tips to do the calibration ? Do you use a website with accurate data to do the calibration ?

I don't have any external sensor to do that

Thanks

You will need to read the manual, and in reality , the only one that should need calibration is the atmospheric pressure. Galfert has answered the question on how to calibrate that, all over the place so I'm not going to repeat it.

Your other sensors , should be fine, the rain gauge , external temp, humidity, wind , etc .

Have fun.

The UVI should be adjusted also.
At least Awekas had always rejected this value for me until I adjusted it to the comparative values.

I would take Awekas with a large grain of salt. I fed Awekas UV data from an NIST calibrated UV sensor that cost over $5,000 as a test, and they repeatedly told me that I was providing bad readings, and that I must calibrate my NIST sensor to the readings of the $3 sensors in the weather stations around me if I wanted my data to be acceptable to them. They are hacks.

Awekas insisted that they knew the UVI and pressure for my area better than the USAF reporting station 1 mile away.
It was easy to get them to delete my account.
