1. INTRODUCTION
LogBox-RHT-LCD is an electronic logger of temperature and relative humidity.
There are sensors that measure such data and values (data) obtained are displayed in
an LCD screen and stored in an electronic memory. Data can be later viewed and
analyzed on a PC where they can be opened in tabular and graphical forms. The
humidity output can be configured to display Relative Humidity values or the
temperature value of Dew Point.
The logger is supplied with LogChart-II software, which enables to set up the
logger operation mode. It is also used for visualization of collected data. Other
parameters such as end of measurements, logging interval, etc., are easily defined
through the LogChart-II software.
Measurements can be exported to and opened in other applications, such as
spreadsheet programs.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Panel
The identification label is on the logger body. Check if the features described are in accordance
with your order. The RHT model is designed to measure temperature and relative humidity. The
following elements are shown in the Figure Logger Front, below:
Log Box-RHT
Logger Front
START / STOP button: Can be configured to start or stop logging when pressed. It can be
also used to browse and change screens.
IR Communication Window: Activated when there is a communication attempt or when

State indicator (LOG): Indicates when the device is logging.
Alarm Indicator (AL1 / AL2): Warns the user as to alarm conditions. It remains active whenever an
alarm condition occurs, until a new configuration is applied to the
logger.
Channel Indicator: Indicates the channel selected.
Battery Indicator: The battery symbol is shown when the battery voltage is low.
MIN/MAX Values Indicator: Minimum and Maximum value of each channel during readings.
4.2 USB Driver Installation
The drives installation steps may vary according to the machine, even for the same version of an
operating system. The following screenshots and steps are only to provide guidance.
1. Insert the CD shipped with the logger in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Connect the serial communication interface IrLink-3 to the PC USB port. Windows® will
acknowledge the presence of new hardware and a few seconds later it will start the drivers
installation process.

3. The found new hardware wizard will be displayed, and you will be asked if you want to install the
driver from the Windows Update website. Select “No, not this time”, and then click Next.
4. Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and click “Next”.
5. Select “Search for the best driver in these locations” and check “Search removable media”. Click
“Next”. If installation files are not in a CD, check “Include this location in the search” and show the
file path.
6. If a prompt warns you that it does not support Windows® XP, click “Continue anyway”.
7. The interface driver files will be copied to the computer and after a few seconds a screen is
displayed informing that the software installation as been concluded. Click “Finish”.
In some situations, the steps described above may be repeated again. Follow the same
procedures.
In later uses of the interface, Windows® may require the driver installation again. In this case,
the same installation wizard will be displayed, and you will have to select the option “Install software
automatically (recommended), as the driver may already be in the computer.
The following screenshots show examples of Windows XP® installation wizard. The screens in
