Temperature Accuracy

2.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

The sensor shows best performance when operated within the recommended normal temperature

and humidity range of 5 °C

… 60 °C and 20 %RH … 80 %RH, respectively. Long term exposure to

conditions outside recommended normal range, especially at high relative humidity, may

temporarily offset the RH signal (e.g. +3 %RH after 60 h at > 80 %RH). After returning into the

recommended normal temperature and humidity range the sensor will recover to within

specifications by itself. Prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate ageing.

To ensure stable operation of the humidity sensor, the conditions described in the document [2]

regarding exposure to volatile organic compounds must be met. Please note as well that this does

apply not only to transportation and manufacturing, but also to operation of the SHT4x.
