1. Description of the hytherograph
Gauge LB-570 comes in three versions:
• LB-570A - thermometer for measuring the air temperature,
o described in a separate manual.
• LB-570A - hytherograph for measuring the temperature and humidity of air,
o described in a separate manual.
• LB-570P - hytherograph for measuring the temperature and humidity of air
with the additional external temperature probe LB-571,
Mini hytherograph LB-570P is used to measure the air temperature and humidity,
and to measure the temperature of various media by using the detachable probe LB-
571. The standard version is equipped with a sensors cover (dirt filter) - type F1 (for
integrated temperature and humidity probe – see table 1). Sensor LB-571 exists by
default in version LB-571-TM - for measuring the temperature of metal (contact
version on magnet). Set LB-570P and probe LB-571-TM are designed to examine the
temperature of dew point before painting the metal elements. The sensor Probe LB-
571 can be made in other versions, for example as TL-2, TL-6 (maximum temperature
range-50 ... 120 °C).
LB-570P is a portable device with battery power supply (rechargeable with
charger and by the USB port of computer). The result of the measurement of
temperature and humidity is refreshed several times per second. The hytherograph can
function as a logger, it has built-in comprehensive memory for measurements. It is
equipped with an alarm function - when the alert threshold is overrun, it is signaled
audibly and indicated on display. At any time you can save the measurement result on
the display (STOP function). The meter has the function of automatic switch off -
switch off time can be set for the range 1 ... 30 minutes.
Hytherograph is equipped with a five-key keyboard, using which you can,
among other things, change registration parameters (for example registration interval),
set alarms. Pressing the keyboard key is signaled by a sound. The results are presented
on the backlight LCD screen. The following measurements are available:
• current temperature T1 (build-in sensor),
• the current humidity,
• current temperature T2 (probe LB-571),
• temperature of the dew point (Tdp),
• temperature difference T1 - T2,
• temperature difference T1 - Tdp,
• 2 temperature maximum (max T2),
• 2 temperature minimum (min T2),
• time (hours, minutes).

Meter LB-570P is characterized by a modern construction based on efficient
and energy saving microprocessor controller. On the basis of the knowledge of

User's manual for hytherograph LB-570P 6
LAB-EL Elektronika Laboratoryjna (electronics lab) 6
nonlinear temperature sensor characteristics (resistance thermometer PT1000) and
humidity (thin-film capacitive sensor) and digital calibration data, which were stored
during the calibration of instrument memory, the microprocessor, that is built in the
device, calculates the actual measurement results of temperature and humidity. The
advantage of this device is that it does not have any mechanical calibration elements
(ie. potentiometers). The calibration of the device is based on transmitting by a digital
interface to non-volatile memory the calibration data , that was obtained in the model
temperatures and humidities. It guarantees comfort and high calibration accuracy with
stability of the device meteorological parameters in time.
To summarize the main features of hytherograph LB-570P are:
• registration of measurements:
o automatic,
o manual from the keyboard.
• portable device, temperature and humidity integrated probe ,
• additional temperature probe - LB-571,
• backlighted two line display,
• frequently refreshed result,
• temperature resolution of 0.1 °C or 0.01ºC,
• automatic switch-off,
• battery low voltage indication,
• signaling of the measuring range crossing,
• display of maximum and minimum values,
• dew point temperature calculation,
• alarm: sound and on the display,
• stop function as a result of the measurements (STOP),
• economical battery powered (possibility to recharge batteries),
• interface USB (LB-376A),
• computer software.

• menu mode - black description of the buttons.
Measurement mode is the default when you switch on the hytherograph. The menu
mode is activated by pressing the menu switch. When you exit the menu mode the
device returns to the measurement mode.
In the measurement mode (blue description) buttons have the following meanings:
• – switching the hytheorograph on and off
• – switching the backlight on and off
• F - the button has two functions:
o brief press of the button is used to change the measurement displayed on
the bottom line of the display,
o hold for 2 seconds the button is used to to reset the value maxT2,
minT2; above the key is located description of this feature - reset
(2sec) ,
• menu - enter the menu mode,
