Twist the protective sensor cap, located at the top of the meter,
counter-clockwise a quarter of a turn to expose the sensors.
Turn Power ON or OFF
Press the [ON/OFF] button to turn power on or off. The meter will
perform a short self-test when turned on.
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).
SETUP
When the meter is off, press and hold the [ON/OFFSET] button for more than 2 seconds to enter setup
mode. Prnt will appear on the display.
1. Selecting temperature units of measure (C/F)
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.
2. Setting the Date/Time (24 hour clock)
Press the [T1T/DPSEL]button to select Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute in sequence.
Press the [MEM] button to change the settings.
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: A printer port is located on the side of the meter; however it 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 RH350-CAL 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: Do NOT turn off the meter
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. Calibration is now complete. Turn power off.
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.
