Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing a Testo product. We hope you will enjoy the benefits of this product for a long
time to come and that it will aid you with your work.
Please read this instruction manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the operation of the instrument
before putting it to use.
If problems should occur which you cannot rectify yourself, please consult our Customer Service
Department or your nearest distributor. We will do our best to help you quickly and competently to
avoid downtimes.

Please read prior to operation!
Do not measure on live parts!
Observe sensor measuring ranges!
The probes may be damaged if overheated.
Observe maximum storage and transport temperature
as well as maximum operating temperature
(e.g. protect instrument from direct sunlight).
The warranty is invalid if inexpertly handled or force is
used !
Installation, adjustment and calibration work should only
be carried out by trained professionals.

The affordable transmitters from the hygrotest 600
series have been developed for a wide variety of HVAC
applications but also for industrial drying processes, for
example. Depending on design the modular design
facilitates wall assembly, duct assembly as well as
measurements at inaccessible points (probe can be
attached to pipe).
The transmitters can be easily calibrated and adjusted
on-site via a control and adjustment set (see adjustment
guidelines). The user saves time and money when
assembling and installing thanks to the industrial
standard 4 to 20mA in 2 wire technology and the
variable assembly options (rail, wall, duct, separate
probes).
Advantages of hygrotest 600
Ideal price/performance ratio:
- Electronics immune to interference thanks to reverse
battery protection, overvoltage protection, EMC
compliance to industrial standards
- Electrical isolation
- Low installation and assembly costs thanks to
industrial 4 to 20 mA 2 wire technology
- Easy on site calibration and adjustment for humidity
and temperature via adjustment set
- LED display (optional)
- RS 485 Interface (optional)

2 wire transmitters are used to convert non-electrical
parameters, e.g. temperature, pressure,
relative humidity etc. to an electrical standard signal of 4
to 20 mA.
The transmitters are connected to a d.c. voltage source
by means of 2 cables. The power consumption of the
transmitter from the d.c. current source changes linearly
in the range from 4 to 20 mA, depending on the
parameter being measured.
The advantages of the two wire system are easy
installment and problem-free connection. The length of
the cables does not influence the measured signal. A
further additional advantage is the so-called “live zero”
signal i.e. 0 parameter corresponds to a current of 4
mA. In this way, this value is also clearly transmitted and
cannot be confused, for example, with a system which
is switched off or an ununterrupted line.

hygrotest 600 with displays H1, H3, H7 is supplied
via the humidity connections. The temperature output,
if available, can only function if a humidity circuit with
24 V is connected. This also applies in combination
with all displays.

Voltage measurement
Long signal paths can be a problem when transmitting
voltage signals (cable resistance, interference etc.).
It is advisable to use current signals for safe
transmission (4 to 20 mA).
Shunt resistances between 50 Ω or 500 Ω (50 Ω: 0.2 to
1 V, 500 Ω: 2 to 10 V) are parallel connected to the
multimeter, controller etc. when measuring voltage (0.2
to 1 V, 2 to 10 V) (see Figure).
Advantage
- Reliable signal due to power transmission
- Recognises disconnected cable (“live zero”)
Voltage measurement from 2 to 10 V or 2 to 10 V is
not possible in instruments with displays H1, H3, H7
since they are loop-fed.
