Switching on: Press 3. The display 2 shows all segments for approx. 1 second before entering measurement mode. In measurement mode, the display shows the current temperature and humidity (fig. C).

Switching off: Press 3 again.

- Toggling between air temperature, dew point and wet-bulb temperature readings

In measurement mode, briefly press DP WBT/SET 4 to toggle between the air temperature, dew point and wet-bulb temperature readings on the temperature display 15.
When measuring the dew point, DP 9 is shown on the left side of the display 2.
When measuring the wet-bulb temperature, WBT 9 is shown on the left side of the display 2.
When measuring the air temperature, none of these indicators is shown on the left side of the display 2.

Measuring air temperature, dew point, wet-bulb temperature and humidity
In measurement mode, move the product so that the sensor head 1 is positioned in the area, where you want to take the measurement.
Wait until the readings on the display 2 are stable.
NOTE: In measurement mode, following indicators are not shown on the display 2: SET 12, MAX 13, MIN 13, and H 10.
Displaying maximum or minimum readings
In measurement mode, press MAX/MIN 6 once. MAX 13 is shown on the display 2. The maximum temperature 15 and the maximum humidity 11 which have been measured since the product was turned on are shown on the display (fig. D).
Press MAX/MIN 6 again. MIN 13 is shown on the display 2. The minimum temperature 15 and the minimum humidity 11 which have been measured since the product was turned on are shown on the display (fig. E).

Press MAX/MIN 6 again. MIN 13 goes off in the display 2. The product returns to measurement mode. The display shows the current temperature and humidity.
NOTE: The product takes measurements only in the measurement mode.
Erasing all maximum or minimum readings from memory and display
While the maximum readings are shown on the display 2, press and hold DP WBT/SET 4, until the display shows - - - - - . The maximum readings for temperature and humidity have been erased. Press MAX/MIN 6 twice to return to measurement mode.
While the minimum readings are shown on the display 2, press and hold DP WBT/SET 4, until the display shows - - - - - . The minimum readings for temperature and humidity have been erased. Press MAX/MIN 6 once to return to measurement mode.

• Setting the temperature unit and automatic power-off function
  In measurement mode, press and hold DP WBT/ SET 4, until the display 2 shows SET 12 and UNIT. The product is in setting mode.
  Press 5 to select ^ C or ^ F .
  Press DP WBT/SET 4 once to confirm the setting.
  The display 2 switches to the setting mode for the automatic power-off function. SET 12, 7 and AUPO (automatic power-off) is shown on the display.
  Press 5 to turn the automatic power-off function on or off. The display 2 shows ON if this function is turned on. The display 2 shows OFF if this function is turned off.
  Press DP WBT/SET 4 to return to measurement mode.

Using the data hold function (freeze)
In measurement mode, briefly press HOLD 5 to freeze the current readings on the display 2. The display shows H 10.
Press HOLD 5 again to return to measurement mode. H 10 disappears from the display 2.
- Turning the backlight on or off
Press and hold 5 for more than 1 second to turn the backlight on or off.
NOTE: The backlight cannot be turned on or off while the product is in setting mode.

Adjusting the humidity offset

Although the product had been calibrated before leaving the factory, you can still adjust the humidity offset so as to correct humidity readings when necessary. Proceed as follows:

Switch off the product.
Press and hold MAX/MIN 6. While holding down MAX/MIN, briefly press 3.

• Release MAX/MIN 6 after 5 seconds. The product enters humidity offset setting mode.
• The temperature display 15 shows the current humidity offset in % (% is not shown on the display 2).
• The humidity display 11 shows the humidity reading which is calculated according to following formula:

humidity reading = actual humidity measurement result ^+ humidity offset

• Proceed as follows to adjust the humidity offset: Press 6 to select the desired digit. The selected digit flashes. Press 5 or 4 to increment or decrement the selected digit.
  NOTE: The humidity offset can be set from -10 to +10%.
  After you have adjusted the humidity offset, press to switch off the product and exit the humidity offset setting mode.

Automatic power-off function

In measurement mode, 7 is shown on the display 2, if the automatic power-off function has been turned on. In this case, the product switches off automatically, if no button has been pressed for approx. 10 minutes.
