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 right display along with the date

and time.

4. Air Temperature appears in the top left display.

5. Wet Bulb is in the lower left display.

6. Pressing the [T1T/DPSEL]button toggles the top left display between Air temperature,

T1 temperature, Air-T1, and DP (Dew Point).

7. Pressing the [T2▲WB]button toggles the lower left display between WB (Wet Bulb),

T1-T2, T2, and T1-DP (Dew Point).

Selecting temperature units of measure (C/F)

When the meter is off, press and hold the [ON/OFFSET] button for more than one second to

enter setup mode. Momentarily press the [T1T/DPSEL]button until “unit” appears in the

display. Press the [MEM] button to toggle between C or F. Press the [T2▲WB]button to

confirm the setting and return to normal operation.

Setting the Date/Time (24 hour clock)

When the meter is off, press and hold the [ON/OFFSET] button for more than one second to

enter setup mode. Press the [T1T/DPSEL]button to select Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute

in sequence. Press the [MEM] button to change the settings. After the Minute setting is

complete, press the [T2▲WB]button to confirm the date/time setting and return to normal

operation.

Data Hold

Press the [RECHOLD]button momentarily to freeze the displayed reading. The 'HLD' icon will

appear on the upper right-hand side of the display. Press the [RECHOLD]button again to

return to normal operation.

Minimum (MN) Maximum (MX) Average (AVG) Function

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

average readings. Press the [Min/AVRST]button once and MN appears on the display. The

display is now showing the lowest humidity and temperature readings in memory. Press the

[Min/AVRST]button again and MX appears on the display. The display is now showing the

maximum humidity and temperature readings in memory. Press the [Min/AVRST]button again

to display the average (AVG) readings in memory. To exit the MIN/MAX/AVG mode, press

the [Min/AVRST]button. To clear the current min/max/avg readings in memory, press and hold

the [Min/AVRST] button for more than two seconds.

Backlight Display

Press the [Min/AVRST]and [MEM] buttons together to turn on the backlight. It will remain on

for ten seconds.

Automatic Power OFF

With the meter off, press and hold down the [ON/OFFSET]+[RECHOLD]buttons for more than

1 second to enter auto power off settings. Press the [MEM] button to select non-sleep (n) or

2, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 minutes autosleep. Press [T2▲WB]to confirm the selection.

Manual Datalogging

Manual datalogging allows the user to store and recall up to 99 readings with the press of a

button.

1. Press the [MEM] button to manually store a single reading into memory. The display

will flash 3 times and the memory location number will be displayed below the humidity

reading.

2. To view stored readings, press and hold the [RECHOLD]button for 2 seconds and

“RECALL” will blink next to the memory location number on the display.

3. Press the [MEM] button to manually increment through the stored readings.

4. Press [RECHOLD]+[MEM] for more than 1 second to clear the memory.

5. Press [RECHOLD]for more than 1 second to return to normal operation.

Note: In RECALL mode, pressing the [Min/AVRST]button for min/max/avg readings will auto

search the stored readings in memory and display the minimum, maximum and

average values of the stored readings.

Note: An infrared printer port is located on the side of the meter. This feature is used on more

advanced models and is not functional on this model.

CALIBRATION

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

bottles which are supplied with the Model RH355 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 a minimum of 10 minutes

3. Verify that the reading is within the accuracy specification

Relative Humidity Calibration (33% and 75%)

33% Calibration

1. Turn 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 [Min/AVRST]button, press and hold the [ON/OFFSET]button

for 2 seconds to enter calibration mode.

5. “32.8%” (reading may vary depending on operating temperature) will flash on the

LCD screen. 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/OFFSET]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 [Min/AVRST]button for 2 seconds to enter the 75% calibration.

4. “75.3%” (reading may vary depending on operating temperature) 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: Frequently check the water level in the salt bottles. Both the 33% and 75%

bottles should be completely saturated with some water present. The bottles are

sealed and not refillable.

RS-232 PC Communications Interface

The meter is equipped with an RS-232 PC interface jack (3.5mm phono) for connection to

a PC. The cable to connect the meter to the PC is included in the optional 407752 data

acquisition kit. The kit includes WindowsTM compatible software that allows the user to

store readings in a text file and display real-time measurements in a series of selectable

formats. For more information or specific operating instructions, refer to the User Guide

included with the 407752 kit or contact Extech Instruments.
