1. GENERAL INFORMATION
THB.S and THB.U sensors are measuring devices cooperating with 3Y, 4Y, laboratory
balances, PC and THBR Box. The sensors are used to carry out measurement of temperature,
humidity and atmospheric pressure at the workstation.
The indications may be displayed either on an indicator screen or a computer screen.
On the basis of measurement values transferred from the THB module, the 3Y, 4Y, balance
program determines air density. The determined air density is displayed on the screen too. PC
- THB.x version is operated via 'THBR Single' software.
THBR Box - THB.x version is operated via 'THBR Multi' software.
2. THB.S AND THB.U CONSTRUCTION
THB.S and THB.U sensors consist of:
1 – sensor,
2 – standard micro-USB cable
3 – stand

5
3. THB.W SENSOR CONSTRUCTION
THB.W sensor consists of:
1 – sensor,
2 – holder for hanging the sensor on a vessel
3 – electronics housing
4 – standard micro-USB cable

6
4. THBR Box CONSTRUCTION
THBR Box recorder consists of:
1 – housing,
2 – power supply,
Connectors’ arrangement:
a – power supply socket,
b – HDMI socket,
c – audio socket,
d – ETHERNET socket,
e – 4xUSB for connecting THB.S or THB.U sensors

7
5. THB 2ETH CONVERTER CONSTRUCTION
THB 2ETH is a converter that enables connecting THB.S or THB.U sensor directly to Ethernet
network.
THB 2ETH consists of:
1 – housing,
2 – USB cable for connecting THB.S or THB.U sensor,
a – ETHERNET socket
b – power supply seat
The converter can be supplied via:
1. 12V power supply (standard)
2. directly via Ethernet cable due to the use of POE standard system (only when a switch
to which the converter is connected supports POE standard system)
POE standard - IEEE802.3af
A special program was designed to support THB.x connected via THB 2ETH.
6. UNPACKING
6.1.Unpacking
Unpack the device, remove protection, next carefully take the THB.x module or the
recorder out of the box and place it at the workstation.

7. START-UP
7.1. Connecting THB.S Sensor to Laboratory Balance
In order to run the module, connect it to the weighing device via USB cable.
Next, following instructions provided in user manual of the balance, set communication
parameters.
Settings:
Setup/Peripherals/Ambient conditions module/Port/USB
Cooperation with 3Y and 4Y laboratory balances.
THB.S and THB.U sensors enable measuring: air temperature, atmospheric pressure, air
humidity. THB.W sensor enables measuring liquid temperature, e.g. during pipettes calibration.

7.2. Connecting THB.S or THB.U Sensor to the Computer
In order to run the module, connect it to the computer.
On your computer install the THB-R-Single software enabling readout of measured quantities
values, next set communication parameters. In order to do it correctly, follow instructions
provided in user manual of the balance.
THB.S or THB.U
The sensor is connected directly to the computer USB port.
PC
THB.S or THB.U sensor
The sensor allows to measure: air temperature, atmospheric pressure, air humidity.
Set components:
-THB.S or THB.U sensor
-THBR Single software
You can connect THB.W sensor to the recorder. The sensor measures liquid temperature, e.g.
during pipettes calibration.

7.3. THBR Box Recorder and THB.S or THB.U Sensor
In order to run the recorder, connect it to the computer; next connect the THB.S or THB.U
sensor to the recorder.
On your computer install the THBR Multi software enabling readout of measured quantities
values, next set communication parameters. In order to do it correctly, follow instructions
provided in user manual of the balance.
THBR Box records: air temperature, atmospheric pressure, air humidity, obtained via
connected THB.S or THB.U sensor. THBR Box enables recording data from up to 4 THB.S or
THB.U sensors. THB.W sensor can also be connected to the recorder. THB.W sensor
measures liquid temperature, e.g. during pipettes calibration.
By standard the set comprises one THB.S or THB.U sensor.

Within set time intervals the measuring unit carries out readout of the metrological data
simultaneously from all sensors. The data is then saved to the device's internal memory.
The recorder is powered via external 10-20VDC power supply. Additionally, it features an
internal battery. The battery is charged during operation via external power supply.
The device can be connected to a PC with installed THBR Multi software via standard
ETHERNET cable, which software allows preview and readout of the parameters saved to the
recorder.
Set components:
-THBR Box recorder
-THB.S or THB.U sensor
- THB.W liquid temperature sensor
- 12V power supply,
- USB B cable
- THBR Multi software

8. MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, RECYCLING
Any maintenance activities (cleaning) must be performed after disconnection of the device
from both the balance and the computer.
8.1.Maintenance
Power supply housing and sensors shield can be cleaned using cloth soaked with alcohol-
based substance.
8.2.Service
Only authorized RADWAG service points are allowed to disassembly, repair and modify the
module.
8.3.Utilisation
The device and the packaging must be recycled in accordance with valid state regulations.
