Introduction
WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech RH520B Temperature + Humidity Chart
Recorder. The RH520B measures and displays Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point.
The remote (detachable) probe senses the ambient conditions while the LCD display graphs and
provides numerical representation of the readings. Programmable audio-visual alarms alert the
user when ambient conditions reach alarm presets. The optional alarm module permits
automatic relay switching when alarm presets are reached.
The RH520B Internal Memory can store up to 49,152 measurements for later transfer to a PC.
Careful use of this instrument will provide years of reliable service.
