Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of
a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with
its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke
does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers
only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of
repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair,
or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty,
postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke
determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal
condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s
specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair
costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges
(FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not
apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other
decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.

4Quick Start
This section briefly explains the basics of setting up and operating your
thermo-hygrometer.
4.1Unpacking
Carefully unpack the thermo-hygrometer and inspect the instrument to make
sure all components are present and in satisfactory condition. Verify that the
following items are present:
1620A Thermo-Hygrometer
•
AC adapter and power cord
•
• Serial cable
• Manual
• Report of calibration
4 Quick Start
Unpacking
• Wall mount bracket
• Sensor
• 9V battery
If all items are not present, call your Hart Scientific Authorized Service Center.
See Section 1.3.
4.2Use Proper Care
First and most important is to understand the safety issues related to the
thermo-hygrometer. Carefully read Section 1.2, Safety Information.
The thermo-hygrometer and sensors used with it are sensitive instruments that
can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. DO NOT allow
them to be dropped, struck, stressed, or over-heated.
4.3Learn About the Features and Components
Familiarize yourself with the features and accessories of the thermo-hygrome
ter by reading Section 5, Parts and Controls.
-
4.4Install the Battery
To maintain uninterrupted measurement when power outages occur, you must
install the included battery into the rear battery compartment. A standard 9V al
kaline battery (NEDA 1604A or IEC 6LR61) is recommended. With a fresh al
kaline battery installed, the thermo-hygrometer will continue to measure and
record temperature and relative humidity during a power outage for up to 16

hours, typically. However, without external power, the display will be
inoperable.
4.5Connect the Sensor
The sensor for channel 1 connects to the socket at the top-right, and the sensor
for channel 2, if used, connects to the socket on the right side. Either sensor
may be used with an optional extension cable up to 100 feet (30 meters) in
length.
4.6Connect the Power Source
The thermo-hygrometer draws power from the provided power adapter. Plug
the adapter into a wall outlet of the appropriate voltage and insert the DC plug
into the DC power input of the thermo-hygrometer.
4.7Switch the Power On
Power is turned on and off with the power switch located below the stand on
the back panel. To switch the power on, toggle the power switch to the ‘’
position. To switch power off, toggle the power switch to the ‘’ position.
The instrument takes a few seconds to power up, initialize, and begin normal
operation. A self-test is performed, displaying the channel configuration and
status of the system, calibration, % battery power, memory, and buttons. If the
thermo-hygrometer calibration has expired and the alert message is enabled, the
user is notified and must press the Enter button to continue initialization. If an
error message is displayed on power up see Section 11, Troubleshooting.
4.8Measure Temperature
After initialization, the temperature and relative humidity measurements for the
enabled channels are displayed. If recording is enabled, the measurements will
be automatically stored in memory. The display can be configured to display
the measurements in a variety of numerical and graphical formats. For informa
tion on the various modes of operation of the thermo-hygrometer, see Section
7, Menu Functions.

The left side panel consists of, from top to bottom, the RS-232 port, Ethernet
LAN port, alarm port, and DC power socket.
RS-232 Port - The RS-232 port can be used to connect the instrument to a com
puter and remotely control and retrieve data from the instrument using a serial
RS-232 interface (see Sections 7.5.3.1 and 8). The jack accepts a 3.5 mm min
iature stereo plug.
LAN Port - This RJ45 socket allows the instrument to be connected to an
Ethernet IP computer network to remotely control and retrieve data from the in
strument (see Sections 7.5.3.3 and 8). The port has two LED indicators. The

bottom LED indicates link state: off for no connection, amber for 10 Mbps, and
green for 100 Mbps. The top LED indicates link activity: off for no activity,
amber for half duplex, and green for full duplex.
Alarm Port - The alarm port allows external alarm indicators to be connected to
the instrument and activated when an alarm event occurs (see Section 7.4.1).
The port outputs 0V when inactive and 12V DC (up to 20 mA) when active.
The jack accepts a 2.5 mm two-conductor subminature plug (Switchcraft
#850). The sleeve of the plug is ground and the tip is positive.
DC Power Socket - The DC plug from the AC adapter plugs into the 12V DC
power socket to power the instrument. The jack accepts a 5.5 mm miniature
power plug (Switchcraft #S760). The outer conductor is ground and the inner
conductor is positive. The instrument may draw up to 0.5A.
5.5Back Panel
The back panel contains the stand, power switch, battery compartment, and
product information, including serial number.
Stand - The stand can be used to prop up the thermo-hygrometer on a flat
surface.
Battery Compartment - The battery compartment holds a 9V alkaline battery
used as a backup power source to maintain continuous measurement during a
power outage (see Section 6.2, Battery).
Power Switch - The power switch turns the power on and off to the thermo-hygrometer, including power from the battery. Before disconnecting the AC
adapter from the instrument, switch the power off to prevent draining the
backup battery.
