OPERATING PROCEDURES
GENERAL
Reaching temperature equilibrium is essential when measuring humidity in calibration. Even a small temperature difference between the sensor and the measured object can cause an error. For example, at a temperature of +20°C (+68°F) with an RH of 50%, a difference of ±1°C between the sensor and the measured object results in an error of ±3% RH. For humidity of 90% RH, the resulting error is ±5.4% RH.
A greater error results when there is high humidity and the sensor is warmer or colder than its surroundings. A difference in temperature of a few degrees can cause water to condense on the sensor’s surface. Evaporation can take hours in an unventilated space; good ventilation accelerates evaporation. The humidity sensor resumes normal function as the water evaporates. Contaminated condensed water may shorten the life span of the sensor and change its calibration.
OPERATION
The unit always powers up with the upper display showing humidity. If a probe is not connected at power up, the upper display indicates OPEN. For optimum operation, allow about one minute for ambient temperature stabilization. If the unit has been stored at an extreme ambient condition, more time may be needed.
BASIC MEASUREMENTS
Check that the instrument is turned on, the probe is connected, and the desired resolution
- 17 -
(0.1° or 1°) and temperature (°C or °F) scales are selected. If the display is set to factory defaults, the upper display shows relative humidity and the lower display shows temperature and dew point. The lower display may also be set to show time or be off, and the dew point may be set not to display (off). Refer to SELECTING THE LOWER DISPLAY MODE for displaying temperature and dew point.
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE
Use °C/°F for selection of the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. The last selection is retained in memory even if the instrument is turned off.
MAXIMUM READINGS
The maximum reading function displays the maximum reading since power up or since the last time the clear function was used. The maximum reading function is ideal for monitoring unattended operations while continually displaying every temperature, humidity, and dew point change that occurs. The maximum and minimum values are sensed and automatically stored until you are ready to observe the reading.
Do not turn off the instrument when a maximum or minimum temperature, humidity, or dew point value may be needed; MAX/MIN memory contents are lost when the instrument is turned off.
Clearing a Maximum Reading
Press CLEAR, then press MAX. The maximum memory is cleared.
- 18 -
MINIMUM READINGS
The minimum reading function displays the minimum reading since power up or since the last time the clear function was used. While continually displaying every temperature, humidity, and dew point change that occurs, the maximum and minimum values are sensed and automatically stored until you are ready to observe the reading.
Do not turn off the instrument when a maximum or minimum temperature, humidity, or dew point value may be needed; MAX/MIN memory contents are lost when the instrument is turned off.
Clearing a Minimum Reading
Press CLEAR then MIN. The minimum memory is cleared.
HOLD FUNCTION
Press HOLD to retain the reading on the display. Press HOLD again for normal operation.
Maximum Hold
Press MAX then press HOLD. Press HOLD again to turn off the HOLD function and return to normal operation.
To clear the maximum readings, press
CLEAR, then MAX▲.
Minimum Hold
Press MIN then press HOLD. Press HOLD again to turn off the HOLD function and return to normal operation.
To clear the minimum readings, press CLEAR, then MIN.
- 19 -
STORED READINGS
The store function allows you to store up to 1000 readings. Each reading is logged with a storage location number and the time of occurrence.
To store readings, proceed as follows:
1) Momentarily press STORE. The present humidity, temperature, and dew point are stored. The STORE annunciator displays and the upper main display momentarily shows the storage location number.
After three seconds, the storage number is replaced with a humidity and temperature reading, and the STORE annunciator remains on to indicate a humidity and temperature reading has been stored. STORE may be pressed as frequently as once per second.
2) Repeat step 1 for all the points to be recorded, up to a maximum of 1000. Each time STORE is pressed, the new reading is stored and the upper main display shows the storage location number for about three seconds.
3) After 1000 stored readings, the next time STORE is pressed the main display indicates FULL.
RECALL READINGS
This function allows the stored readings, the reading sequence number, and the Time/Date of the readings to be recalled. RECALL shows each stored reading individually. When individual readings are recalled, you can toggle between the reading and the sequence number of the reading.
To recall readings:
- 20 -
1) Momentarily press RECALL. The time and date are displayed on the lower displays and the stored sequence number is displayed on the main display. The STORE and RECALL annunciators are shown.
2) To step through the readings, press MAX▲ or MIN▼. Each key press advances to the next reading in sequence. Hold down MAX or MIN to advance at an increasing rate through the readings. To increment or decrement by 100, proceed as follows:
To increment, hold down MAX then press the MIN key.
To decrement, hold down MIN then press the MAX key.
3) To toggle between the readings and the reading sequence number, press RECALL again.
4) To return to normal operation, press any key other than ON/OFF, MAX▲, MIN or RECALL.
CLEARING STORED OR LOGGED READINGS
Press CLEAR, then either STORE or LOG. Regardless of which key is pressed, the stored and logged readings in memory are cleared.
LOGGING READINGS
The Logging function is controlled by the LOG key. Prior to logging readings, it is necessary to set up the time interval between readings (see LOG SETUP) in COMPLETE SETUP PROCEDURE.
The time between readings can be set toany value from one second to 60 minutes. Logging
- 21 -
is initiated by pressing LOG and continues at the programmed rate until LOG is pressed again or 1000 logs have occurred. If 1000 logs have occurred, the display shows FULL.
The STORE function can be used during logging to insert additional measurements by pressing STORE.
PRINTING
Printing can output real-time readings or stored readings. The output is sent to the infrared (IR) printer output located at the top of the instrument. The printer output default time period is once every three seconds. This time can be set to any value between three seconds and 60 minutes (see PRINT SETUP) in COMPLETE SETUP PROCEDURE.
The following sample printouts show the RS­232-C format and the Testo (IR) printer in normal and log dump print modes. Note that in log dump print mode the first line specifies the total number of readings.
The print function is controlled by the PRINT key.
Testo Printer Format for Normal Printing
The information sent as an output to the printer is based on the display settings. Several examples are shown. A new heading appears when the date changes or a new print is started.

CALIBRATION
The calibration function allows both single­point and dual-point calibration of the instrument. Single-point calibrates the offset only. Dual-point calibrates the offset first then calibrates the slope.
It is not necessary to perform a field calibration to obtain specified accuracies. Use the field calibration feature to improve instrument/probe accuracy or to compensate for probe calibration drift.
The instrument has a memory retention capability to hold calibration values even while the power is off or the batteries are removed.
When you restart, there is no need to recalibrate.
SINGLE-POINT CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Humidity and Temperature Calibration
1) Momentarily press CAL to enter the CALIBRATION mode. The CAL annunciator flashes. The relative humidity is displayed on the main display and “Lo” is displayed on the lower left display. “Lo” signifies the offset point.

DUAL-POINT CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
This calibration function provides both for offset and slope field calibrations. For proper calibration, the following conditions must be observed:
The slope point must be a higher
temperature or humidity than the offset point.
The difference must be at least 20°C (36°F)
or 20% RH.
Use two points based on the expected high
and low humidity and temperatures. Humidity and temperatures measured outside of these limits may no longer meet specifications.
Resolution is based on the selected
display resolution.

MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Properly used, the instrument should maintain calibration indefinitely and not require service other than occasional cleaning of the housing and changing of the batteries.
Do not clean with abrasives or solvents. Use mild detergents; never immerse nor use excessive fluid.
BATTERIES
If there is no display when the instrument is turned on, check the condition of the two AA batteries. Check that the battery terminals are clean and batteries are properly installed. If replacement is necessary, refer to BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT for the replacement procedure.
The real-time clock keeps time for up to one minute with the batteries removed. To minimize the need for resetting the clock, either remove and replace one battery at a time, or connect the AC adapter while changing the batteries. All stored/logged readings are retained until cleared, even if the batteries are removed for long periods.
SERVICE
There are no internal adjustments or user replaceable parts.
If “Err” followed by the numbers “1” through 9” is displayed (see example below), return unit for service. “Err” alone may be displayed during improper field calibration.
