Operation

Open the Protective Sensor Cap

Twist the protective sensor cap, located at the top of

the meter, counter-clockwise a quarter of a turn to

expose the sensor

Plug in the optional external temperature probe (if

needed).

Turn Power ON or OFF

Press the ON/OFF button to turn power on or off. The meter will perform a short self-test

when turned on.

Taking measurements

1. Hold the probe in the area to be tested.

2. Allow adequate time for readings to stabilize.

3. The Relative Humidity measurement appears in

the top display.

4. Pressing the button toggles the lower left

display between T1-T2 (internal temperature-

external temperature), DP (Dew Point), and T1

(internal temperature).

5. Pressing the button toggles the lower right

display between T2-DP (external temperature-

Dew Point), WB (Wet Bulb), and T2 (external

temperature).

Note: If the external probe is not connected, T1-T2, T2-DP, and T2 measurements will not

be displayed.

Selecting temperature units of measure (C/F)

Press and hold the oC/oF button momentarily to toggle the temperature units.

Wet Bulb and Dew Point measurements

1. To read the Wet Bulb measurement, press the button until the symbol Wb

appears in the lower right display. Note: T2 will not be displayed unless the external

probe is connected.

2. Wet Bulb temperature is now displayed.

3. To read the Dew Point measurement, press the button until the symbol DP

appears in the lower left display .

4. Dew Point temperature is now displayed.

Minimum (MIN) Maximum (MAX) Function

The MIN/MAX mode allows the user to view only the lowest (MIN) or highest (MAX)

readings. Press the button once and MIN appears on the display. The display is

now showing the lowest humidity and temperature reading in memory. Press the

button again and MAX appears on the display. The display is now showing the maximum

humidity and temperature readings in memory. To exit the MIN/MAX mode, press the

button again and the MIN and MAX icons disappear. To clear the current min/max

readings in memory, press and hold the button for more than two seconds.

Data Hold

Press the HOLD button momentarily to freeze the displayed reading. The 'HLD' icon will

appear on the upper right-hand side of the display. Press the HOLD button again to return

to normal operation.

Automatic Power OFF

The meter automatically shuts off after a programmed period of time. The default time is 10

minutes. To program the time period, press down the HOLD button while turning the meter

on. Continue to hold down both buttons and the meter will cycle through the selectable

power-off times: n, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 60 minutes. “n” disables the auto power off function.

When the desired power-off time appears in the display, release both buttons to select the

time and return to normal operation.

Error Messages

An error message will appear on the display if the meter fails an internal diagnostic test.

1. ER1: Relative Humidity failure. Repair/replacement is necessary.

2. ER2: Internal temperature failure. Repair/replacement necessary.

3. ER3: Reference resistance failure. Repair/replacement necessary.

4. ER4: Internal temperature is out of range.

5. ER5: External temperature is out of range.

CALIBRATION

The following verification and calibration procedures require the 33% and 75% RH reference

bottles which are supplied with the Model RH305 kit.

Accuracy Verification

Checking the 33% or 75% RH Calibration

1. Insert meter’s sensor into the 33% or 75% salt reference bottle

2. Check the reading after 10 minutes

3. Verify that the reading is within the accuracy specification

Relative Humidity Calibration (33% and 75%)

33% Calibration

1. Ensure that “DP” and “WB” appear in the bottom displays before turning the meter

OFF.

2. Insert the meter sensor into the 33% salt reference bottle.

3. Allow the meter one hour to stabilize.

4. While holding down the °C/°F button, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds

to enter calibration mode.

5. “32.8%” will flash on the LCD screen and “DP” and “WB” will display “_ _ _ _”. After 30

minutes, the flashing will stop to indicate that the 33% calibration is complete. Note: To

exit from the calibration procedure before completion, pressing the ON/OFF button will

turn the meter off.

6. Proceed to the 75% Calibration below.

75% Calibration

1. Insert the meter sensor into the 75% salt reference bottle.

2. Allow the meter one hour to stabilize.

3. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter the 75% calibration.

4. “75.3%” will flash on the LCD. After 30 minutes, the flashing will stop to indicate that

the 75% calibration is complete.

5. Turn power off. Calibration is now complete.

Note: If the salt at the bottom of the calibration bottles appears dry, the bottles should be

replaced.
