Operation

NOTES:

1. Adobe Reader® software is required.

2. Ensure the logger is at room temperature before inserting it into a PC port.

3. The executable file for programming is named “PDF Logger Configuration Tool”.

4. A datalogging session cannot start until the datalogger is properly configured.

Configuring the RHT35 for a Datalogging session

At any time before logging is started, the logger can be programmed and re-programmed. The

previous logging session will be deleted once a new session is started.

1. Connect the data logger to a PC via the USB port. The logger will switch ON

automatically. Note that a short press of the power button will also power the logger.

2. The LED will glow green while a connection

with computer is being established.

3. An AutoPlay prompt will appear on the PC

when communication is established.

4. Click on ‘Open folder to view files’ to see the

available files.

5. Open the program "PDF Logger Configuration

Tool.exe".

6. The default language is English; select German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese as

desired. The generated logging report format will match the language selected.

7. To review the User Manual, click ‘Manual’ to open the User Manual PDF file.

8. The parameters needed to configure the datalogger for logging are defined below. Refer

to the earlier screen shot of the ‘PDF Logger Configuration Tool’ window for reference:

•Datalog Sampling Rate

Select the datalogging sampling rate (recording interval) from 30 seconds ~ 120

minutes. The default setting is 30 seconds.

•Datalog Start Delay

Select a period of time that must elapse before recording can begin after the

Start/Stop button is pressed (select from 0 min to 24 hours). The default setting is

0 minutes.

•Unit of Measurement

Select the Metric or Imperial unit of measurement. When metric is selected the

readings display in °C for temperature and hpa for pressure. When imperial is selected

the readings display oF for temperature and inHg for pressure. The default setting in

Metric.

•Alarm Delay

The preset alarm delay time for the Single Event Alarm mode is always zero.

The adjustable delay time range for the Cumulative Alarm is 5 ~ 120 minutes.

7RHT35-en-GB_V1.0 04/17

•Alarm Modes

Single Event Alarm mode: The LED immediately starts flashing red every 10 seconds

when the measured value exceeds the alarm threshold.

Cumulative Alarm mode: The LED begins flashing red only after the average value

exceeds the alarm threshold and also after any programmed Alarm Delay time. See

Alarm Delay parameter above.

Alarm Disable (default): Alarm function disabled.

Alarm Note: The LED will continue flashing red every 10 seconds (once it is triggered by

an alarm) even when the measurement later returns to the normal range. To stop the

LED alarm, plug the logger into the PC USB port to generate a report, or power off the

logger (short press of the power button while it is not connected to the PC).

•Alarm Limits

Select the alarm threshold ranges for air temperature, %RH, or pressure. For example,

if the temperature range is set to 2.0~8.0 oC, when the measurement falls below 2oC or

exceeds 8 oC the LED will flash red every 10 seconds.

Note: If an alarm occurs between two logging points, the logged data will not show the

alarm but the LED may still flash red every 10 seconds, especially in Single Event alarm

mode. If desired, use the Cumulative Alarm mode to minimize this effect.

•Password

A 16 alphanumeric character (max.) password may be used to prevent unauthorized

re-programming.

•User Company Name

Input a company name to be included on the log report (20 characters max.).

•A Note On Time Zones

The logger automatically synchronizes the time zone with the connected PC when

‘SAVE’ is selected. Note: Time zone changes occurring during logging are not taken into

account.

Once all the programming is complete, press ‘SAVE’ to confirm the settings. Close the setup

window, remove the logger from the PC USB port, and start datalogging as described in the

next section.

8RHT35-en-GB_V1.0 04/17

Start Datalogging

1. Configure the logger as previously described and then hold the Start/Stop button

for 5 seconds to start logging.

2. Measurements update on the display every 10 seconds. The temperature, %RH, and

pressure measurements toggle every 5 seconds.

3. If the logger is programmed with a Start Delay: After pressing and holding the Start/Stop

button for 5 seconds to start logging, REC will appear on the LCD but will not flash until

the delay time has elapsed and logging has begun.

4. When the datalogger is successfully running, the LED flashes green every 10 seconds (as

long as there is no alarm).

Monitoring Alarms While Datalogging

The LED will flash RED every 10 seconds when there is an alarm. The display also shows ‘L’

for low alarm and ‘H’ for high alarm. To stop the LED from flashing red, plug the logger into a

PC, or power off (short press of the power button).

Placing ‘Bookmarks’ While Datalogging

To place a bookmark manually during datalogging, press and hold the MARK button until the

measured reading flashes 3 times. Up to eight (8) bookmarks can be placed; the bookmarks

will appear in the logging report.

MAX-MIN Readings

Short press the MAX-MIN button to step through the highest (MX) and lowest (MN) readings

stored in memory.

Checking Battery Status

At any time, short press the MARK button to view the approximate number of days

remaining for battery life. If battery power is critically low, the battery icon will blink once

per second on the LCD display.

Downloading Logged Data (PDF and Spreadsheet Datalog Reports)

1. Press and hold the Start/Stop button for 5 seconds to stop the datalogger.

2. Plug the logger into the PC USB port (this also stops the datalogger).

3. Open the ‘PDF logger Configuration tool’ from the list of available files.

4. Choose ‘Convert to PDF’ or ‘Convert to Excel’ to generate a report.

5. Select the PC file location where the report is to be saved.

6. The PDF report includes the recorded data, bookmarks, and a trend graph. The

spreadsheet report contains the same data as the PDF report minus the trend graph.
