Information about the device
Device description
The thermohygrometer BC06 can be used to determine the air,
dew point and wet-bulb temperature as well as the humidity
level of indoor areas.
For assessing the measurements, a Max/ Minfunction
(maximum and minimum value) and a Holdfunction for freezing
the currently measured value are also available. The display
illumination is automatically activated in poor lighting
conditions.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the battery.

Switch-on and measurements
1. Press the Power button(7).
ðThe display will be switched on and the device ready for
operation.
ðIn case of poor lighting conditions the display
illumination switches on automatically. The display
illumination is controlled by the sensor(6).
2. Hold the sensor(1) into the area where the measurement
is to be performed.
ðThe measured values are indicated in %RH and °C.
ðWait for a moment to achieve a stable measured value.
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This
physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In
this case, the display shows either no measured values or they
are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
