Operation
Power
Press the power button “ “ to turn power on or off.
%RH
1. To select %RH measurement, press the “%RH/GPP/g/Kg” button.
2. Hold the probe in the area to be tested.
3. Allow adequate time for readings to stabilize.
4. The Relative Humidity measurement appears in the top display.
5. Pressing the “°F/°C/WBT/Dew Point” button toggles the lower
display between Temperature (°F), Temperature (°C), Dew Point
(°C), Dew Point (°F), Wet Bulb (°C) and Wet Bulb (°F).
6.
Mixing Ratio (Grains Per Pound or Grams Per Kilograms)
1. To select GPP or g/kg measurement, press the “%RH/GPP/g/Kg”
button.
2. Hold the probe in the area to be tested.
3. Allow adequate time for readings to stabilize.
4. The GPP or g/Kg measurement appears in the top display.
5. Pressing the “°F/°C/WBT/Dew Point” button toggles the lower
display between Temperature (°F), Temperature (°C), Dew Point
(°C), Dew Point (°F), Wet Bulb (°C) and Wet Bulb (°F).
Dew Point
1. To select the Dew Point measurement, press the “°F/°C/WBT/Dew
Point” button until DEWPOINT (°F or °C) appears in the lower
right.
2. Dew Point temperature is now displayed.
Wet Bulb
1. To select the Wet Bulb measurement, press the “°F/°C/WBT/Dew
Point” button until WET BULB
(°F or °C) appears in the lower right.
2. Wet Bulb temperature is now displayed.

Temperature
1. To select the temperature measurement, press the
“°F/°C/WBT/Dew Point” button until “°C” or “°F” appears in the
lower right.
2. Temperature is now displayed.
Data Hold
1. Press the ”H MAX MIN” button momentarily to freeze the displayed
readings. ”HOLD” will appear on the upper left-hand side of the
display.
2. Press the ”H MAX MIN” button three more times to return to normal
operation. (Steps through MAX and MIN)
Minimum (MIN) Maximum (MAX) Function
The MIN/MAX mode allows the user to view only the lowest (MIN) or highest (MAX) readings.
1. Press the ”H MAX MIN” button twice and “MIN” appears on the display. The LCD is now
displaying the minimum value recorded in both the top and bottom display. The display will not
change until a lower reading is registered.
2. Press the ”H MAX MIN” button again and “MAX” appears on the
display. The LCD is now displaying the maximum value recorded
in both the top and bottom display. The display will not change
until a higher reading is registered.
3. To exit the MIN/MAX mode, press the ”H MAX MIN” button again.
The “MAX” icon will disappear.
Note: Max and Min values are recorded into memory while the meter is
on. The values are erased when power is turned off.
Backlight
Press and hold the light button “ “ until the backlight turns on. To turn the backlight off, press and
hold the light button “ until the backlight turns off.
Automatic Power OFF
The meter has a default setting that automatically shuts the meter off after 10 minutes (indicated by
the symbol on the display).
This battery saving feature can be disabled.
To disable the auto power off function, press and hold the ”H MAX MIN” hold button while powering
on. The symbol will not appear when auto power off has been disabled.
The meter will revert to the default auto-off mode when powered off.
