Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Extech RH250W Hygro-Thermometer. This meter

measures air temperature and relative humidity (RH) with its built-in sensor.

The RH and temperature readings are shown on the top and bottom rows of

the LCD, respectively.

The meter includes Bluetooth, MAX/MIN memory, selectable units of meas-

ure, auto power off, data hold, backlit LCD, and tripod mount.

Using the Extech ExView mobile app, you can pair your smart devices with

Operation

5.1 Powering the Meter

The meter operates on three (3) 1.5 V (AAA) batteries, installed in the rear

compartment.

Long press the power button to switch the meter on. Short press the power

button to switch the meter off. If the meter does not switch on, check the bat-

teries for proper orientation.

When the low battery symbol appears on the display, replace the batteries

immediately to ensure accurate readings.

5.2 Auto Power Off (APO)

The meter switches off automatically five (5) minutes after the last button

press.

The default mode for APO is ON (the APO symbol on the display indicates

that APO is enabled).

To switch the APO function off, with the meter switched on, long press the

power and Hbuttons. The APO symbol will switch off, indicating that the

function is disabled. APO is reset each time the meter’s power is cycled.

Repeat this process to switch APO back on manually.

5.3 Taking Measurements

1. Long press the power button to switch the meter on.

2. Hold the meter in hand, set it on a table or desk, or mount it on a tripod in

the area under test.

3. Read the temperature and relative humidity readings on the LCD. The RH

reading is shown on the top row of the LCD in large digits. The tempera-

ture measurement is shown on the bottom row, in smaller digits.

4. If the temperature measurement is out of range, OL will appear on the dis-

play in place of a temperature reading. In this case, move the meter to an

area congruent with the meter’s measurement and operating

specifications.

5.7 MAX/MIN Readings

When the device is switched on, it begins tracking the highest (MAX) and low-

est (MIN) readings.

Short press the MAX/MIN button to step through the MAX/MIN memories.

MAX is shown when the Maximum reading is displayed and MIN is shown

when the Minimum reading is displayed. The memories are cleared each time

the meter power is cycled.

Press the MAX/MIN button again to exit this mode (MAX and MIN symbols

are both off when you exit).

5.8 Bluetooth Operation
