Measurement output seems incorrect Installation location is not representative of actual conditions you want to measure Verify the installation location and reinstall or relocate the probe if necessary.
Heat conduction along probe head and cable is interfering with measurement accuracy Follow the installation recommendations for cases when temperature of measured environment differs greatly from ambient. See Installation.
Probe is in need of adjustment Have the probe adjusted by Vaisala. See Calibration and adjustment.
Probe status indicator LED is red Probe is in error state Connect the probe to Insight software or an Indigo transmitter and read the error message(s). See Vaisala Insight software and Error messages.
Probe status indicator LED is off even though power is on Probe model is DMP7 with a 0.15‑m (0.49‑ft) probe connection cable. To prevent the warming of the indicator LED from causing a slight measurement error, DMP7 probes with a 0.15‑m (0.49‑ft) probe connection cable keep the indicator normally off (even when power is on). If the probe is in error state, the red LED is shown.
Values of measurement parameters stop changing for a few minutes Probe is performing a sensor heating function such as sensor purge or waiting for the sensor to cool down Wait for the function to complete and measurement parameters to be available again.
