4. GENERAL MEASURING
PROCEDURE
The meter default value are :
*The temperature reading unit is .℃
*The auto power off.
4-1 Humidity and Temperature measurement
1)Plug the " Probe Plug " ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) into the " Probe
Input Socket " ( 3-9, Fig. 1 ).
2)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ), the LCD shows the unit " %RH " & " "℃
at the same time and measured value will show on
the display ( upper display is Humidity value, the
lower display is the temperature value ) .
3)The meter Temp. display unit is defaulted to " ". If℃
intend to let the meter's temperature unit default to " "℉
, then please refer section 5-1 ( page 9 ).
4-2 Dew point measurement
The procedures of " Dew point measurement " are same
as the above " 4-1 Humidity and Temperature
measurement " except select the " Dew point " function
by pressing the " Function Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) once,
the LCD will show the unit " DEW " & " ( or ).℃℉
The upper display show the Dew point value, the lower
display show the temperature value.

4-3 Data Hold
During the measurement, press the " Hold Button " ( 3-3,
Fig. 1 ) once will hold the measured value & the LCD will
display a " HOLD " symbol.
* Press the " Hold Button " once again will release the data
hold function.
4-4 Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
* The data record function records the maximum and
minimum readings. Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig.
1 ) once to start the Data Record function and there
will be a " REC. " symbol on the display.
* With the " REC. " symbol on the display :
a)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, the "
REC. MAX. " symbol along with the maximum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the maximum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, then the
display will show the " REC. " symbol only & execute
the memory function continuously.
b)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) again, the
" REC. MIN. " symbol along with the minimum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the minimum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, then
the display will show the " REC. " symbol only &
execute the memory function continuously.
c)To exit the memory record function, just press the
" REC " button for 2 seconds at least. The display will
revert to the current reading.

5. ADVANCED MEASURING
PROCEDURE
Before executing advanced adjustment
procedures, exit the " Hold function " and the
" Record " function.
a.Hold the " Set Button " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) at least two
seconds until the lower display show " COde ", then
release the " Set Button ", the upper display will show
" 1000 ".
*1000 is the password code that allow to execute the
Advanced Measuring Procedure following.
After display show " COde 1000 ", push the " Enter
Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once will go to the following b.
procedures.
*If push the " ESC Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) will escape
the selecting function and return to the normal
measuring display.
b.One by one to press the " Set Button " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 )
once a while to select the two main function that show
on the lower display as :
.......℉Change the Temp , unit℃℉

After the function is determined, press the " Enter Button
" ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) to save the selection function into
memory IC permanently. Press the " Esc Button " ( 3-3.
Fig. 1 ) will revert to normal display screen.
6. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5
mm terminal ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be
utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be
required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.
Meter PC
(9W 'D" Connector)
Center Pin........................Pin 4
(3.5 mm jack plug)
Ground/shield.....................Pin 2 2.2 K
resister
Pin 5

The 16 digits data stream will be displayed in the
following format :
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
Each digit indicates the following status :
D0 End Word
D1 & D8 Display reading, D1 = LSD, D8 = MSD
For example :
If the display reading is 1234, then D8 to
D1 is : 00001234
D9 Decimal Point(DP), position from right to the
left
0 = No DP, 1= 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP
D10 Polarity
0 = Positive 1 = Negative
D11 & D12 Annunciator for Display
= 01℃= 02℉% RH = 04
D13 When send the upper display data = 1
When send the lower display data = 2
D14 4
D15 Start Word
RS232 FORMAT : 9600, N, 8, 1

7. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)When the left corner of LCD display show " ", it
is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec.
measurement may still be made for several hours after
low battery indicator appears before the instrument
become inaccurate.
2)Slide the " Battery Cover " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) away from the
instrument and remove the battery.
3)Replace with 9V battery ( Alkaline or Heavy duty type )
and reinstate the cover.
