Dew Point Meter
RH600

Quick Start (en)
INTRODUCTION
The RH600 measures temperature and relative humidity, with the
detachable RH601 probe, and calculates other readings, including
dew point and frost point.
The threaded probe can be directly mounted in a process or held
freely in ambient air.
The RH600 can record up to 32,000 readings using the Data Log-
ger and Data Hold functions. Readings can be viewed directly on
the RH600 display or on a PC. For complete information, refer to
the user manual available on the Extech website.
QUICK STEPS
1. Insert the supplied battery in the rear battery compartment. The
compartment is secured by one screw.
2. Connect the probe to the port at the bottom of the meter. The
connection is keyed so the probe connector can only be in-
serted in one orientation. Secure the connection by tightening
the knurled screw.
3. Remove the probe’s protective cap and mount it in the process
under test or hold it in ambient air.
4. Short press the orange F2 function button to power the meter,
the Home page will appear after several seconds.
5. Read the three displayed readings. The temperature measure-
ment, shown at centre, is fixed. The other two readings can be
selected in the programming menu. Press the left or right arrow
button to view the readings in a summary format.
6. Press F1 under the graph icon to view readings in real-
time, plotted on a graph. The graph icon will then appear above
F3. Use F3 to step through all the graphs.
7. While viewing a real-time reading graph, press F2 to set the in-
terval of time between readings from 1 second (1 S) to 10 mi-
nutes (10 min).
8. Press F1 under the return arrow icon to exit a menu.
9. Press F3 under the menu icon to open the programming
menu.
10. To power off, long press F2.
11. To recharge the battery, connect the meter to an AC source us-
ing the supplied USB cable and AC plug.
