Notes regarding the operating manual

2Manual XC200 EN
Description of the device
The thermohygrometer enables a quick and precise
determination of the air temperature and relative humidity
indoors. Both measured values are indicated in real time on a
pseudo colour display.
In addition to the relative humidity, further climate parameters
such as the dew point or absolute moisture content in the air can
be calculated with this device.
The temperature indication can be switched from °C to °F and
back.
A minimum, maximum and average function is available for the
direct analysis of the measured data. Besides, the currently
measured value can be recorded via the hold function.
The device can be operated via a capacitive touchscreen control
panel.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the battery.
