1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a PCE-313A from PCE Instruments.
The PCE-313A humidity and temperature data logger has been designed for professional use, for
instance in the air conditioning sector. It can measure the relative humidity as well as the ambient
temperature. This device can be connected to K-type thermocouples. The sampling rate for real-time
measurements can be adjusted and you can save your readings either to the internal memory of this
instrument to an SD memory card with a capacity of 1 … 16 GB. The values saved on the SD card as an
xls file can be transferred to a PC for further analysis. The PCE-313A can work independently, without the
user being present during the measurement as it can be programmed via the keypad in advance. For
long-term measurements we recommend you to use the PCE-313A with the optional mains adaptor.
