When exceeding the operating range (e.g. for soldering), humidity sensing performance is
temporarily degraded and reconditioning is recommended as described in section 7.8.
Operating range only for non-condensing environment.

For hysteresis measurement the sequence 103050709070503010 %RH is
used. The hysteresis is defined as the difference between measurements of the humidity up /
down branch and the averaged curve of both branches
5
Non-linear contributions to the sensor data are corrected during the calculation of the relative
humidity by the compensation formulas described in section 4.2.3.
6
The air-flow in direction to the vent-hole of the device has to be dimensioned in a way that a
sufficient air exchange inside to outside will be possible. To observe effects on the response
time-scale of the device an air-flow velocity of approx. 1 m/s is needed.
