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

field calibration changes. The lockout remains
in effect until a lockout re-enable has been
performed. Use the following procedures to
lockout or re-enable the field calibration
operation.
Lockout Procedure
1) Turn off the instrument.
2) Simultaneously press and hold CAL and CLEAR, and momentarily press ON/OFF.
Continue to hold CAL and CLEAR for at
least five seconds.
Re-Enable Procedure
1) Turn off the instrument.
2) Simultaneously press and hold CAL and HOLD, and momentarily press ON/OFF.

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.
