5 General Operation Measuring The thermo-hygrometer will automatically make measurements on enabled channels at the set period when a sensor is attached. Channels are enabled using the CHANNEL SETTING function in the CHANNEL menu. The measurement period is also set with this function. Unit of Temperature The thermo-hygrometer is capable of displaying temperature in Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F). The unit of temperature applies to temperature measurements on either channel that are displayed, recorded, or printed. Recorded data is viewed or printed with the currently set unit of temperature. The unit of temperature is set using the DISPLAY SETTING function in the DISPLAY menu or the SYSTEM SETTING function in the SYSTEM menu. Recording Measurements The thermo-hygrometer will automatically record measurements on enabled channels at the set period. Recording is enabled using the RECORD SETTING function in the DATA RECORD sub-menu in the DATA menu. The record period is also set with this function. Sensors The standard-accuracy sensor and high-accuracy sensor are used to measure temperature and relative humidity. The sensors attach to the thermo-hygrometer by plugging into the top or side panel of the instrument. The sensor contains a memory device that stores information about the sensor and automatically transfers this data to the thermo-hygrometer when the sensor is attached. This ensures that the settings used to measure and calculate temperature and humidity always match the sensor being used. CAUTION: Sensors are fragile devices that can be easily damaged by mechanical shock, overheating, and exposure to fluids or dust. Damage may not be visibly apparent but nevertheless can cause drift, instability, and loss of accuracy. Observe the following precautions: ● DO NOT allow sensors to be dropped, struck, or stressed. ● DO NOT overheat sensors beyond their recommended temperature range. ● DO NOT expose sensors to harmful vapors, fumes, dust, or condensation. ● DO NOT allow sensors to come into direct contact with any fluids. Sensor Accuracy To achieve full accuracy with the thermo-hygrometer sensors, a few precautions should be noted. 19
