Humidity-Temperature Chart Recorder

Model RH520

RH520 V2.9 3/072

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech RH520 Temperature + Humidity Chart

Recorder. The RH520 measures and displays Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point.

The remote (detachable) probe senses the ambient conditions while the LCD display

graphs and provides numerical representation of the readings. Programmable audio-

visual alarms alert the user when ambient conditions reach alarm presets. The optional

alarm module permits automatic relay switching when alarm presets are reached.

The RH520 Internal Memory can store up to 49,152 measurements for later transfer to a

PC. Careful use of this instrument will provide years of reliable service.

RH520 V2.9 3/077

Getting Started

POWER

1. The RH520 runs on battery power or AC adaptor (4.5VDC 300mA). Battery power

consists of three (3) ‘AA’ batteries. See the Battery Replacement section of this manual

when changing/installing the batteries. Note: Batteries and adaptor are supplied.

2. Plug the AC adaptor in the AC adaptor jack shown in the Description section. The

batteries will act as battery back-up in the event of an AC power failure.

3. Once the batteries are installed or the adaptor properly connected, the RH520 will

begin displaying.

4. In the unlikely event that the AC power AND the battery back-up fails, the RH520 will

require a “Programming Reset” to reset the display. Press the RESET button located

inside the battery compartment. “Reset” clears all settings. Time, Date and the logging

interval need to be entered. The measurement data and alarm history, however, will

still be retained in the non-volatile memory.

5. The 5-segment battery life indicator allows the user to track the status of the battery.

When all 5-segments are dark, the battery is fully charged. Segments switch off as the

battery ages. When the battery indicator has only one segment left the batteries must

be replaced immediately.

NOTE: Always set the date and time immediately after batteries have been installed or

after the RESET button has been pressed.

MOUNTING THE RH520

The RH520 can be used in the following ways:

1. Placed on a table top where the swivel keypad is employed as the table stand

2. Wall mounted using the rear mounting holes

MEASUREMENT PROBE

The probe is attached to the meter with a 1 meter cable and can be used in two ways:

Stored in the RH520 probe cradle or simply held in hand

PUSH-BUTTON LOCK-OUT SECURITY FEATURE

The RH520 can be secured from tampering by having its push-buttons locked.

1. Press for approx. 1 second and release the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and SET arrow buttons

simultaneously to lock-out the push-buttons.

Note: The security lock out can only be performed from the main view screen. If a

scroll key or the time button was pressed prior to setting up the lock-out, the user must

scroll back to the main screen.

2. Press for approx. 1 second and release the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and SET arrow buttons

simultaneously to restore the operation of the push-buttons

Display Modes

STANDARD VIEW

The Standard View is the display state of the RH520 when it is turned on. Refer to the

diagram in the display description section of this manual for a representation of the

Standard View. To reach the Standard View at any time, press the VIEW button. Note that

the display automatically reverts to the Standard View five (5) minutes after the last button

press.

CURSOR

The CURSOR location is indicated by a small diamond located between the two graphs.

See diagram. There is one diamond for each horizontal pixel in the graph (64 positions).

The date, time, and measurements for the data point selected by the cursor are shown in

the Time/Date and numerical measurement display fields.

Each press of the RIGHT ARROW button will move the cursor to the right. When the

cursor reaches the right side limit, the graph will move to the left. Holding the button

down will speed the scrolling rate. When the cursor reaches the oldest (last) reading, it

will stop.

Each press of the LEFT ARROW button will move the cursor to the left. When the

cursor reaches the left side limit, the graph will move to the right. Holding the button

down will speed the scrolling rate. When the cursor reaches the newest (latest)

reading, it will stop.

Each press of the UP ARROW button will shift the graph to the next set of 64 values; to

the left of the ones currently displayed (the cursor will not move).

Each press of the DOWN ARROW button will shift the graph to the next set of 64

values; to the right of the one displayed (the cursor will not move).
