Operation

Meter Power

1. Three (3) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries power the meter. The battery

compartment is located on the rear of the meter secured by one

flat head screw.

2. Short press the power button to switch the meter ON. The

not function while the meter is in the MAX -MIN Recording mode

(short press the Rbutton to access the MAX-MIN Recording mode).

Selecting the Operating Mode

Long press the M(Mode) button to scroll through the list of functions.

When the desired mode is displayed, release the button. See display

icons with brief descriptions below:

•dbSound Level(dBA)

•rHRelative Humidity in % and Air temperature

•dPDew point temperature

•_EtWet bulb temperature

•HEATtHeat index temperature

•LigHtLight intensity measurements

•tYPEType K thermocouple temperature (must attach thermocouple

to meter)

•

Changing the Units of Measure

Press and hold the R button until the word ‘Unit’ appears.

Now short press the power button to change the units for the

selected measurement mode.

Short press to save the selection and move to the

secondary function, if applicable (temperature, for example).

Short press the power button to change the secondary function

units, if applicable, and then short press to save.

See units list below:

oSound dB

oTemperature units oC, oF (for air, dew point, wet bulb,

heat index, and Type K)

oLight units Foot-candles, LUX

Reversible Backlight LCD

The LCD display automatically reverses its presentation

orientation depending on measurement mode. This is to match the

display orientation with the selected sensor mode (light or

environmental measurements such as Wet bulb temperature).

The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing,

especially in dimly lit areas. With the meter powered ON, short

press the power button to turn ON the backlight. The backlight will

power OFF after several seconds.

Display Hold

Short press the H (Hold) button to freeze and unfreeze the displayed

reading. The Display Hold mode is not operational when using the MAX-

MIN Recording mode.

MAX-MIN Record Mode

In this mode, the meter records the maximum and minimum readings

over time.

Short press the R (Record) button to start recording MAX/MIN

readings.

Now use short presses of the R button to toggle MAX and MIN reading

displays.

Short press the H button to reset MAX and MIN memories.

Press and hold the R button to exit the Recording mode.

Measurement Modes

Sound Level Measurement

1. With the meter ON, press and hold the M(Mode) button until ‘db’

is displayed; then release the button.

2. The meter will stard measuring the sound in dB.

Light Measurements

Press and hold the M button until ‘LigHt’ is displayed; then release.

Hold the meter so that the source of light fully encompasses the light

sensor dome.

View the light reading on the LCD (light readings are displayed in

reverse orientation).

Type K /Relative Humidity/Dew point/Wet

bulb/Heat index Measurements

Press and hold the M button until the desired function is displayed:

; rH Relative Humidity (with air temperature); dP Dew point; _Et Wet bulb;

HEAt Heat index; tYPE Type K thermocouple temperature (attach

thermocouple to meter)

Place the meter or type K probe in the measurement area and view the

readings on the LCD.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the low battery icon appears on the display please replace
