1.Introduction

The Protimeter HygroMaster-L is a versatile thermo­hygrometer. This product is used to measure relative
humidity, air temperature and dew point.

2. Safety considerations

3. Product components and accessories

Protimeter HygroMaster-L uses analog or digital sensors
to measure RH and temperature. All Protimeter RH and
temperature sensors with this interface can be connected to
HygroMaster-L.

Hygrostick and Quikstick interface

The Hygrostick (POL4750), Quikstick (POL8750),
Short Quikstick (POL8751) and 30cm humidity probes
(BLD8755) measure relative humidity (%RH) and ambient
air temperature in rooms. They can be connected to the
HygroMaster-L instrument either directly or by means of the
extension lead.

4. Starting with the device (Turning ON and OFF)

Prior to initial use ensure that the 9V battery is installed
properly in to the device.

Note: The battery status is indicated by an icon on the
display. When the low battery message appears, replace
the battery.

To switch ON, Press the power button

Note: The HygroMaster-L switches OFF automatically
after a set time (can be set till 6 min) if no activity is
observed. (see instruction for setting the Auto OFF time)

To switch the instrument OFF immediately, press
hold for at least 3 seconds and release.

Whenever the battery voltage falls below the threshold value,
the battery symbol starts blinking. If the battery voltage falls
below the operating level, the instrument prompts with the
message “low battery - Switching off the device” and turns
OFF automatically.

5. “HygroMaster-L” modes

The Protimeter HygroMaster-L primarily measures air
temperature and relative humidity.

5.1 Measurement mode:

The default mode while the device is turned ON is
measurement mode. The device will turn ON with the
measurement screen as below.

There are three values displayed on the measurement
screen. First display value is the primary value which is the
relative humidity. Second display is Ambient temperature
and the third can be switched between dew point and mixing
ratio. Third measurement can be changed according to the

need of the customer using

The representations in the measurement mode is as in the
picture on the page 7.

5.2 Settings

HygroMaster-L provides option to change parameters for the
measured value through the settings mode. At any point of

time when the unit is turned ON, if the
unit will get in to the settings mode as below.

If any setting needs to be changed or adjusted, then the
function / parameter can be selected by scrolling through

the menu using

different functionality switching, the buzzer should be turned
ON. This can be done getting in to the edit mode and then

using or key.

5.2.6 Calibration:

User should not be accessing this menu to ensure no
accidental loss of calibration data. This is purely a factory
calibration menu

5.2.7 About

The About screen gives information related to the device like
checking the device calibration status, probe serial numbers
etc. The screen will look like below.

6. Care and maintenance

The Protimeter HygroMaster-L is a precision-built electronic
instrument that will provide many years of reliable service if
the following points are observed:

► When not in use, keep the HygroMaster-L instrument and

its accessories in the pouch. Store the pouch in a stable,
dust-free environment and keep it out of direct sunlight

► If the instrument is to be stored for more than four weeks

or if the low battery power symbol appears on the display,
remove the battery from the instrument.

► Check the condition of the HygroMaster-L accessories on

a regular basis and replace them if they become worn or
damaged.

► To preserve the calibration characteristics, Hygrostick

probes shouldn’t be exposed to saturated environments. If
this is unavoidable Hygrostick probes should be replaced
on a regular basis and their calibration should be checked
frequently.
