Model RP2 Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer Probe for UHH

Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

The Model RP2 Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer Probe measures relative

humidity, temperature, dew point, and wet bulb temperatures when combined with
the Model UHH Universal Handheld. In order to protect the sensor in higher air

low ducts, each probe comes with a membrane filter. Factory calibrated

f

eplacement humidity sensors can plug directly into the probe without requiring

r

dditional calibration.

a

Wireless probes can take measurements up to 50 feet away from the UHH. A bi­color LED flashes on the handle of the probe to indicate communication status with
the handheld. The battery is rechargeable via the mini-USB connector on the
bottom of the probe.

NOTICE

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference. and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Cet appareil est conforme à des règlements d'Industrie Canada exempts de licence
standard RSS (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) Ce dispositif ne doit pas causer d'interférences nuisibles, et (2) cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences pouvant entraîner un
fonctionnement indésirable.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numériqué de la classe B est conformé à la norme NMB-003 du
Canada.

CHARGING BATTERY

NOTICE

When the charge of the battery is almost used up, the LED on the handle of the
wireless probe will turn solid red. There is approximately 5 minutes of battery life
left at this point. If the probe is not already paired to the UHH, it will not pair while
in low battery condition.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

It is required prior to the initial usage to charge the battery for
12 hours.
