Model UHH - Universal Handheld Test Instrument

Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

Front View Side View

The Model UHH Universal Handheld Test Instrument is a highly versatile

instrument that offers the utmost flexibility and ease of user operation by having
the capacity to work with a variety of Dwyer Instruments, Inc. compatible sensing
modules and probes. Additional wired and wireless probes or modules are
instantly recognized by the UHH without any user reprogramming or alteration,
allowing seemless sensor addition, upgrade or replacement. See the Dwyer
Instruments, Inc. catalog or website www.dwyer-inst.com for available packages
and sensors. The Universal Handheld offers a slew of features that enable a
technician to quickly set up and intuitively navigate through their daily activities.
Data is stored via the internal memory or separate SD card in various auto or
manual logging operations. Logged files can be quickly transferred to a device
through a USB cable or by a portable SD card. The display can operate in standard
numerical meter mode, gauge mode with analog needle and bar graph, gauge
mode with additional pass/fail operation zones, and strip chart mode which
enables a simplified visual tracking of the process. The four button directional plus
enter button combined with the three soft key buttons aligning to corresponding
screen functions allow for quick navigation through the four main operation menus.
The rugged plastic case with protective thermo-plastic over-mold along with the
dust-shielding rubber caps permit the unit to handle abuse and properly withstand
dusty environments. The base UHH includes an integral molded compartment,
that securely holds wireless modules. The storage compartment offers convenient
transportation of a module with the base instrument during testing. A flexible hand
strap included with every UHH provides means for the base handheld to be safely
connected to a belt, pipe, ladder or similar structure freeing the user's hands to
focus on the sampling test. A 6-pin connector enables one wired probe at a time
to be plugged in to the base instrument without worry of becoming disconnected
during sampling. The rechargeable battery via the included USB cable provides
long term operation to last through several days work. At just under 10 oz, the
compact UHH base is lightweight. Included in the standard series kits is a soft
carrying case which secures the provided accessories and test probe. The Pro­Series provides the addition of a rugged hard case with foam cut-outs that secures
existing as well as additional test sensors and accessories.
