Hygrometers

Hygrometers let you know what the humidity levels are
inside of your humidor.

Eventually, all hygrometers need to be re-calibrated be it
an inexpensive unit or one that cost hundreds of dollars.

If you suspect that your Savinelli hygrometer is not giving
you a correct reading, it may be that re-calibration is needed.

This can be accomplished by carefully following the instructions
shown below.

______________________________________________________

Never pull the entire hygrometer unit from its base as it is secured using
double sided foam tape which will tear if pulled and then you'll need to
supply a new strip to re-mount.

1. Peel away the brass ring by placing thumb on crystal face and gently
   pull off the brass ring. This ring holds everything in place.

2. Let the clear crystal fall out.

3. Gently tap unit to allow hygrometer gauge to fall out.
    Be careful not to touch indicator needle or spring on backside.

4. Place hygrometer inside a zip lock bag along with a moist paper
    towel (not dripping wet) and zip bag closed for about 30 minutes.

5. Gauge should eventually read 95% humidity.

6. If not, you need to adjust setting and to do this, carefully move
    the outer most tab (back of hygrometer) attached to end of spring,
    clockwise or counter clockwise which will make indicator (on face of
     hygrometer) move up or down scale. Set at 95%.....
     ........NEVER TOUCH SPRING!

7. Put hygrometer back in bag and make sure it remains at 95%.

8. Re-assemble carefully and hygrometer should now work correctly.

9. Always be sure to use a humidity controlling liquid with distilled water
    to prevent over-humidification.
