Psyclone™
Protimeter
Thermo-Hygrometer
Operating Manual
Introduction
The Protimeter Psyclone thermo-
hygrometer measures relative humidity
with psychometric measurements,
along with temperature. One button
enables Start, Hold and OFF operation,
and four arrow keys allow youto set up
and change the measurements shown
on the LCD screen. An optional
surface temperature probe enables
users to determine if condensation is
present. Figure 1 below shows the
Psyclone control buttons, while Table 1
on the next page lists the available
parameters.

Starting the Psyclone for the
First Time
The Psyclone comes with two AA,
1.5V batteries already installed. To
begin using the meter, extend the
retractable probe and press the
(ON) button. The LCD screen briefly
flashes, similar to Figure 2 below.
After a few seconds, the meter
changes to measurement mode and
displays only the currently selected
parameters, as shown in Figure 3 on
the next page. Moisture readings
appear at the top, with temperature
measurements below.

During Operation
•To freeze the Psyclone at a
particular reading, press the
button briefly. The “Hold”
message appears to the left of the
temperature reading, as shown in
Figure 2 on the previous page.
•To shut off the Psyclone, press the
button for 3 seconds, until the
message OFF appears before the
LCD goes blank.

Selecting Parameters and
Calculations
Use the four arrow keys to select the
parameters and calculations you want
to display. Press any of the arrow
keys to scroll to the parameter row
(shown in Figure 2 on page 3); then
press the RIGHT arrow key to scroll to
the parameter or calculation. The
reading changes immediately, and the
parameter is set once the flashing
stops. Pressing instantly selects
the parameter.
•To select the humidity
parameter (%RH, GPP, g/kg, or
Dew Point):
Scroll to the top row, and then to
the desired parameter.
Note: If you have selected the
Psychometric Calculation On
option, your options include
the available calculations.

Selecting Parameters and
Calculation (cont.)
•To select a calculation
(Minimum, Maximum or
Average):
Scroll to the middle row, and then
press the RIGHT or LEFT arrow key
to select the desired calculation.
The min/max/ave calculations are
made from the last time the meter
was powered up. If no parameter
is selected, all the parameters in
that row remain solid (not
blinking), and the Psyclone
displays the current reading. Min/
Max/Ave will continue to
calculate while in these modes.
Push the UP arrow to return to free
measurement mode.

To set up the user options to your
particular requirements, firmly press
and hold the SETUP key (the DOWN
arrow key) for 2 seconds. The lower

Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: Setup Menu
The factory default settings are:
•Temp - Off
•Psy. Cal. Options - Off
•Device auto off - 3 mins
•Back Light - 0 mins (off)
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys
to scroll to the desired option, and the
UP and DOWN arrow keys to set the
desired selection. Once selected, wait
for the meter to return to
measurement mode or push the
button to save the change. Four
options are available:

Setting User Options (cont.)
•Units °F/°C — You can display
all temperature measurements in
either °F or °C. (Setting °C also
results in displaying other
parameters in metric units, such as
g/kg. Setting °F prompts the meter
to display other parameters in non-
metric units, such as GPP or grains
per pound.) Press the UP or DOWN
arrow key to toggle between °F
and °C units.
•Psychometric Calculations —
You can extend the available
humidity measurements to include
psychometric calculations (Wet
Bulb Temperature, kcal/kg and
BTU/lb, shown in Figure 2 on
page 3). Press the DOWN or UP
arrow key to turn ON (or OFF) the
Psychometric Calculation options.
When the screen refreshes, you
can then select the desired
calculation (see the next page).

Setting User Options (cont.)
•Backlight — You can set the
backlight for the LCD display to
remain on from 1 to 9 minutes at a
time. (If you set the time to “0”,
the backlight is turned off.) Use
the UP and DOWN arrow keys to
scroll to the desired number of
minutes after the last button push.
•Device Auto OFF — You can set
the Psyclone to shut off
automatically after from 1 to 9
minutes. (If you set the time to
“0”, the automatic shutoff is turned
off.) Use the UP and DOWN arrow
keys to scroll to the desired
number of minutes to stay on after
the last button push.
