Section 4: Front Panel Overview

4.1 Changing the display units

The RHTemp2000 comes with factory default display units of °C for tempera­ture and %RH for humidity. These units can be easily changed by pressing
the F3 button in the main screen and then selecting either F1 for tempera­ture and F2 for humidity. After selecting a channel, the available units can be
scrolled through by either pressing the channel’s function key repeatedly or
using the UP and DOWN keys.

Button pressing chain:

Main Screen -> F3 -> F1(temp) or F2(humidity) -> function key repeatedly or
UP and DOWN

4.2 Changing the number, type, and size of channels viewed

By default the RHTemp2000 displays recently measured values of both chan­nels (temperature and humidity) on its Main Screen with the two channels
taking up the maximum amount of screen space available. Channels can,
however, be hidden or viewed on a smaller or larger scale.

To change the number and type of displayed channels:
From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from
this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen. On this screen, F1
corresponds to the Temperature channel and F2 to Humidity. Pressing these
function keys will cause the channels to scroll between “show” or “hide”.
Channels displaying “show” will appear on the main screen and channels
displaying “hide” will not. Any number of channels between zero and two
may be shown.

Button pressing chain:

Main Screen -> F4 -> F1 -> F1(temp) and F2(humidity)

To change the size of displayed channels:

From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from
this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen, then F4 to scroll to
the next screen. Here the F2 key will change the size of the channels viewed.
By pressing F2 repeatedly the size parameter will scroll between three sizes:

Small: Up to two channels can be displayed and appear much smaller than
the available screen space.

Medium: Up to two channels can be displayed

Page 9

MadgeTech RHTemp2000

Large: Up to two channels can be displayed which will fill the entire display
area

Button pressing chain:

Main Screen -> F4 -> F1 -> F4 -> F2 repeatedly to scroll

4.3 Checking the memory Status

A status icon appears on all screens representing memory, but further infor­mation including percent memory left and number of readings taken can
also be viewed. From the Main Screen press the F1 key to enter the Status
screens then press F2 to view memory status information.

Button pressing chain:

Main Screen -> F1 -> F2

4.4 Checking power status

A battery status and external power status (if available) icon appear on all
screens, but percent battery power remaining and external power presence
as well as battery type, current battery voltage, and current external volt­age can also be viewed. From the Main Screen press F4 to view the Device
Configuration Menu, F2 to access the power options, then F4 twice to view
the Power Status screen, including battery power percent remaining and
the presence of external power. Battery type and battery voltage are also
displayed, as well as external power voltage (if connected).

Button pressing chain:

Main Screen -> F4 -> F2 -> F4 -> F4

4.5 Changing the Contrast

The RHTemp2000’s LCD screen contrast values can be changed in two ways.
One method is outlined in the Function Reference Guide. A faster, simpler
way involves simultaneously pressing the CANCEL and UP or DOWN button
in any screen.

Button pressing chain:

CANCEL + UP (to increase) or DOWN (to decrease)

Section 5: RHTemp2000 Function Reference

5.1 Main Screen

The main screen of the RHTemp2000 features a real-time display of most
recently measured temperature and humidity. At the bottom of the main
screen are tabs corresponding to each of the four function keys. These tabs
are used to access the four main function menus of the RHTemp2000:
status, statistics, units, and setup. The left side of the main screen and all
subsequent screens of the device is where important status information icons
can be found (detailed in Section 3: Important Status Icons – page 7) includ­ing recording status, memory status, busy status, external power status, and
battery power status.

5.2 Status Menu

Pressing F1 on the main screen brings up the Status menu. The first screen
that appears in the Status Menu is Run Parameters, but the Memory Status
and Time screens can also be viewed by pressing the F2 and F3 keys respec­tively.

5.2.i Run Parameters

The Run Parameters screen displays important information regarding the
device’s current recording session. These parameters include the time and
date the recording session started (start time and start date), the time and
date the recording session will end (stop date and stop time) due to either
lack of memory or preprogramming in the MadgeTech software. The rate
at which the RHTemp2000 is recording (rate) is also displayed. The device’s
current status (either running or stopped) is the last parameter on the Run
Parameters screen.

5.2.ii Memory Status

The Memory Status screen is where all information regarding the RHTemp2000’s
memory. This screen displays the percent of memory space currently avail­able (memory left), the number of readings currently stored on the device
(readings), the maximum number of readings the device can record (max
readings), as well as information about the wrap feature displaying either
“disabled” or the number of wrap readings currently stored in memory.
