Requirements: Important prerequisites:

It is not possible to restart
the procedure once (a part of) • a uniformly soiled DustIQ with a reported Transmission Loss of at least 5 to 10% For an accurate calibration it is necessary to have: the DustIQ in operational state for at least 15 minutes, clean distilled or demineralised water,
the DustIQ has been cleaned! • clear sky / bright sunlight for at least 15 minutes within two hours of local solar noon soap, sponge and a clean and dry cloth. In sunlight, to see a blue sensor LED blink, view it from the area shown within the red lines.

At the back of the DustIQ press and hold the calibration button for 5 seconds. Release to start calibration. Clean the complete DustIQ, including sensor 2, using soap and distilled or demineralised water.
