2. Allow adequate time for readings to stabilize.

3. View the Relative Humidity measurement in the lower display.

4. View the Air (probe)Temperature measurement in the middle display

Wet Bulb and Dew Point measurements

1. To display the Dew Point measurement, momentarily press the button until the symbol

DP appears in the middle display.

2. Dew Point temperature is now displayed.

3. To display the Wet Bulb measurement, momentarily press the button until the symbol

Wb appears in the middle display .

4. Wet Bulb temperature is now displayed.

5. To display the IR surface temp – DP temp temperature press and hold the button for

more than 2 seconds. The icon will appear in the top left corner of the display, then press the

IR Temp button. The differential temperature reading can now be viewed in the top display.

6. Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds to toggle the display back to IR

temperature.

Non-Contact InfraRed Surface Temperature measurements

1. Point the meter toward the surface to be measured.

2. Press and hold the button.

3. View the temperature measurement in the upper display

4. Release the nd the reading will be held on the display until a new reading is taken.

5. While holding down the button, press the button to toggle the laser targeting

pointer on/off. The symbol will appear in the middle left of the display indicating that surface

temperature measurement is active and the laser pointer is on.

WARNING! The Laser button enables/disables the Laser pointer. When enabled, each

press of the button turns on the Laser beam. Avoid looking directly into the path of the

Laser or pointing the Laser toward anyone’s eyes. Mirrored surfaces near a measurement object

can redirect the Laser, use extreme caution. Do not allow the Laser beam to be directed toward

IR Emissivity Adjustment

Emissivity is adjustable from 0.3 to 0.99. The default value is 0.95 which is the typical emissivity

value of many non-metallic surfaces. If the surface to be measured is highly reflective and the

emissivity is not known, cover the surface with paint or tape to improve measurement accuracy. If

the emissivity of the surface is known, follow this procedure to set the value.

1. With the meter on, Press the key twice to enter the Emissivity setting procedure.

will flash on the top left side of the display.

2. Use the up key and the down key to adjust the value.

3. When the desired setting appears in the display, press again to save and return back to

normal operation.

Emissivity Factors for Common Materials

Cement 0.96 Lather 0.75 to 0.80

Sand 0.90 Charcoal (powder) 0.96

Soil 0.92 to 0.96 Lacquer 0.80 to 0.95

Water 0.92 to 0.96 Lacquer (matt) 0.97

Ice 0.96 to 0.98 Rubber (black) 0.94

Snow 0.83 Plastic 0.85 to 0.95

Plaster 0.80 to 0.90 Copper Oxides 0.78

Mortar 0.89 to 0.91 Iron Oxides 0.78 to 0.82

Brick 0.93 to 0.96 Textiles 0.90

Spot to Distance Ratio

The 8:1 spot to distance ratio determines the size of the measured surface area with respect to the

distance the meter is held away from the surface.

Selecting temperature units of measure (C/F)

Press and hold the oC/oF button momentarily to toggle the temperature units.

Automatic Power OFF

The meter automatically shuts off after a programmed period of time.

To disable auto power off, with the meter off, press and . When “n” appears, release

the keys and the meter is now in Non-Sleep Mode.

The power off time is adjustable from 5 to 600 seconds. To change the auto power off setting, press

the key to enter the setting procedure. Use the up key and the

down key to set the value. When the desired power-off time appears in the display, press

the key again to save the parameters.

Backlight

button is pressed again or the meter is turned off.

Error Messages

An error message will appear on the display if the meter fails an internal diagnostic test.

1. E1 (Top display): IR temperature failure. Repair/replacement is necessary.

2. E2 (Top display): IR temperature >932°F (500°C).

3. E3 (Top display): IR temperature <-40°F (-40°C).

4. E9 (Top display): Calibration error.

5. E1 (Middle display): Temperature failure. Repair/replacement is necessary.

6. E2 (Middle display): Dew Point is out of range or Repair/replacement is necessary.

7. E3 (Middle display): Air temperature is out of range or Repair/replacement is necessary.

8. E1 (Bottom display): RH circuit error. Repair/replacement is necessary.

Calibration

The following verification and calibration procedures requires a humidity chamber or the 33% and

75% RH reference bottles which are supplied with the Model RH300-CAL kit.

RH Accuracy Verification

Checking the 33% or 75% RH Calibration

1. Insert meter’s sensor into the 33% or 75% salt reference

bottle.

Rotating the bottle will assist in placing it over the sensor.

2. Check the reading after 10 minutes

3. Verify that the reading is within the accuracy specification.

RH Calibration (33% and 75%)

This two-point calibration takes approximately one hour to

complete.

33% Calibration

1. Turn off the meter and insert the meter sensor into the 33%

salt reference bottle. Rotating the bottle will assist in

placing it over the sensor.

2. Hold down the and keys and then press the

key to turn the unit on.

3. “32.8” (reading may vary depending on temperature) will

flash on the display. After 30 minutes, the flashing will stop

to indicate that the 33% calibration is complete.

75% Calibration

4. Insert the meter sensor into the 75% salt reference bottle. From a steady “32.8” display

press the button to enter the 75% calibration.

5. “75.2” (reading may vary depending on temperature) will flash on the display. After 30

minutes, the flashing will stop to indicate that the 75% calibration is complete and the

calibration data has been saved to memory.

6. The screen will return to the normal display. Calibration is now complete.

Note: If the salt at the bottom of the calibration bottles appears dry, the bottles should be

replaced.
