In order to calibrate the meter humidity calibration standards are required
(REED R9933, R9975 or R9980). If the meter has been exposed to
extreme conditions or it has not been used in a long period of time the
meter should be calibrated by following steps 1 through 5 below.
1. While in normal %RH measurement mode, hold the SET and LOG
buttons simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds to enter the calibration
mode of %RH.
2. The LCD display will show the same relative humidity measuring
value along with the %RH symbol.
3. Press the and buttons to adjust the upper display until it
matches the %RH Humidity Calibration Standard.
4. Once the calibration is complete, press "REC" button to save the
calibration value into the memory which will ash conrming it has
been saved.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
I cannot turn off my meter, do you know why?
Often times, the meter cannot be turned off because it is in recording
mode ("REC" mode). Make sure to exit that function by holding down the
REC button before attempting to turn the meter off.
How long can I record for?
Battery life will depend on a number of factors:
• Quality of Battery
• Whether the beeper is ON or OFF
• Whether the backlight is ON or OFF
• Environmental Conditions during data logging
As a reference, using alkaline batteries with both the backlight and beeper
on while automatic data logging at a 2 second sampling rate; the batteries
will last approximately 14 hours.
Is there any way to make the R6050SD record temp, humidity, dew
point, wet bulb, and Type K readings all at the same time?
The R6050SD is unable to measure all the parameters simultaneously.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
continued...
21
If the screen displays the "_ET" function, will it still record humidity/
temperature? How do I select the "rH" function to display on the
screen. I want to record the humidity/temperature for an extended
period of time.
The R6050SD offers 4 types of measurement modes:
1. Humidity/ Temp
2. Dew Point
3. Wet Bulb
4. Type K/J Thermometer
When the meter is on, press and hold the FUNCTION button to scroll
through the measuring modes. The display will ash "rH", for Humidity/
Temperature measurement, "dP" for Dew Point measurement, "_Et" for
Wet Bulb measurement, and "tP" for Type K/J Thermometer measurement.
Release the FUNCTION button to conrm selection. Select the "rH''
option for extended recording of temperature and humidity.
