INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Omega’s HHEM-SD1 Environment Meter with
Datalogging SD Card. Please read this user’s manual carefully and

before using the instrument.

The HHEM-SD1 is a general-purpose handheld instrument that can make five kinds
of measurements:

• Air (wind) speed and temperature (simultaneously)

• Air temperature and humidity (simultaneously)

• Light level

• Surface temperature, as measured by an optional Type K or T

thermocouple

• Sound level (using an optional sound level probe and plug adapter)

The meter comes with a multi-function probe that is used to make the first three
types of measurement. Measurements of surface temperature and sound level are
made using optional accessories. Air speeds can be displayed in m/s
(meters/second), fpm (feet per minute), km/h (kilometers/hr), knots (nautical
miles per hou
or ft-cd (foot-candles). Temperatures can be displayed in ºF (Fahrenheit) or
ºC (Celsius) units.

Several features and capabilities enhance the meter’s versatility. Among them are
automatic temperature compensation for measurements made by the anemometer
or a Type K or Type J thermocouples, the ability to hold readings and display
maximu
battery life.

Because it is microprocessor-based, the HHEM-SD1 can make full use of the
portability, reliability and large storage capacities that SD memory cards offer.
Measurements can be made automatically at any sampling rate between one second
and one hour. After time-stamping and storing the measurements on an SD card

SFERRING DATA FROM THE SD CARD

O A COMPUTER

After automatic or manual
datalogging of measurements,
remove the SD card from the
meter and plug it into your
computer either directly (if it has
an SD card slot) or through an
SD card reader.

Because the files containing
time-stamped data logs have
the file extension .xls, they open
in Microsoft’s Excel application.
