The RH511 is a low cost, high performance, handheld 
temperature/relative humidity/infrared meter. This meter 
has many features including two temperature inputs (Type K 
thermocouple), triple LCD display of humidity/temperature or 
infrared temperature and thermocouple temperature, MIN/ 
MAX/HOLD functions, data logging, USB interface with 
Windows based PC software, and wireless temperature/ 
humidity sensor probe option.
