INTRODUCTION
This Sper Scientic Bluetooth Datalogging Therm-
Hygrometer with dewpoint and wet bulb (Model 800020)
accurately measures the ambient air while streaming
instantly to any iOS or Android smartphone. This
multiparameter meter also has a contact thermocouple
port to detect surface temperatures. All parameters have
an optional audible and visible alarm that can be seen at a
distance. The large backlit LCD simultaneously displays all
values while concurrently streaming to a smartphone and/
or a computer. Up to 32,000 complete data records with
GMP compliant date/time stamping can be stored in the
meter and later downloaded or conveniently e-mailed if a
PC is unavailable at the time. All data can be viewed and
stored in Excel format or you can use our unique graphing
tools in the included software to view and analyze the data.
Calibrate to known standards using the o󰀨set function for
humidity, ambient air temperature, and ice-point. The meter
comes ready to use with a protective foam-lined carrrying
case, Type K beaded wire probe, micro USB cable, a built-
in easel stand, 4 AAA batteries, and instruction manual.
