3 Quick Start Quick Start This section briefly explains the basics of setting up and operating your thermo-hygrometer. Unpacking Carefully unpack the thermo-hygrometer and inspect the instrument to make sure all components are present and in satisfactory condition. Verify that the following items are present: ● 1620A Thermo-Hygrometer ● AC adapter and power cord ● Serial cable ● Manual ● Report of calibration ● Wall mount bracket ● Sensor ● 9V battery If all items are not present, contact an Authorized Service Center. Use Proper Care First and most important is to understand the safety issues related to the thermo-hygrometer. Carefully read the Safety Information section at the beginning of this guide. The thermo-hygrometer and sensors used with it are sensitive instruments that can be easily damaged. Always handle these devices with care. DO NOT allow them to be dropped, struck, stressed, or over-heated. Learn About the Features and Components Familiarize yourself with the features and accessories of the thermo-hygrometer by reading the Parts and Controls section of this guide. Install the Battery To maintain uninterrupted measurement when power outages occur, you must install the included battery into the rear battery compartment. A standard 9V alkaline battery (NEDA 1604A or IEC 6LR61) is recommended. With a fresh alkaline battery installed, the thermo-hygrometer will continue to measure and record temperature and relative humidity during a power outage for up to 16 hours, typically. However, without external power, the display will be inoperable.
