can get damaged by electrostatic discharges!
Switch on the device with the ON button. The current humidity and temperature values
are shown on the display.
1.3 Displ ay fo rma t
During normal operation, the double line LC-Display of the operating panel is used to

TP W por t able
2.1 Funct ion of t he but ton s
The buttons perform the following basic functions:
Switching ON/ OFF the instrument
Hold value in the display
Display Dew point and Absolute humidity
Display of determined minimum and maximum values
Reset minimum and maximum values

2.2 Displ ay of me asu red Mi ni mum an d M axi mum va lue s
The instrument automatically determines the highest and lowest values. These
“MIN/MAX“ values can be displayed, as desired.
The instrument is in normal operation
MIN/MAX-button is
pressed
Minimum of measured
values is displayed
“MIN“ sign appears in
the display
MIN/MAX-button is
pressed again
Maximum of measured
values is displayed
“MAX“ sign appears in
the display
On request: The Dew point or Absolute humidity
value can be shown on display by pressing the
td/aH-button
By pressing the MIN/MAX-button, the Min/Max
value of the selected parameter can be
displayed.
Operate the td/aH-button and MIN/MAX-button
again and again till the instrument comes back
into normal operation
RST-button can be
pressed anytime
The measured Min/Max-values are reset by this
button

The Dew point temperature or Absolute humidity can be alternatively displayed in
place of temperature value.
The instrument is in normal operation
[td/aH]-button is pressed
Dew point is displayed.
“td“ sign appears in the
display
[td/aH]-button is pressed
again
Absolute humidity value is
displayed.

2.4 Chang e o f tem per atu re sca le
The temperature display scale can be changed between the physical units °C and °F.
The instrument is in normal operation
°C / °F-button is
pressed
Temperature scale changed
to °F
In display, the measured
value is shown in “°F“
°C / °F-button is
pressed
Temperature scale is
changed back to °C
In display, the measured
value is shown in “°C“
Note: The selected temperature scale is applicable for all temperature
parameters;hence it is also valid for Dew point temperature.
The output format of serial interface does not change. The output is always in °C.

2.5 HOLD- Fun cti on
The device has the facility to hold the measured values in display. Hence, for
example, under unfavourable lighting conditions, the measured values can be read out
at some other place.
The instrument is in normal operation
Display of current
measured value is fixed
“HOLD“ sign appears in
the display
On request: The finally measured Dew point or the
finally measured Absolute humidity value can also
be shown with the td/aH-button
With the help of MIN/MAX-button, the desired
minimum/maximum value of the selected
parameter can be displayed.
HOLD-button is
pressed again
Display shows the current
measurements again
