One measurement with the SC-1 takes 30 seconds (in auto mode). The time to get the relative humidity <10% between measurements varies (e.g., 30-90 seconds), but it shouldn’t take longer than 90 seconds of shaking the sensor head. If it takes longer than 90 seconds of shaking the sensor head between measurements, then check the desiccant to ensure it is blue (for Indicating Drierite, 10-20 mesh). If the problem persists, replace the teflon filter that separates the measurement chamber from the desiccant, and check the rubber seals on the porometer head.
