Operation

Plug-in probes
Plug-in probes must be connected before the measuring instrument is switched on so that they are recognized by the instrument.

• Insert the connector of the probe into the probe socket.

Radio probes
Radio probes may only be used in countries in which they have been Type Approved (see application information of the radio probe).
A radio module (accessory part) is required for the use of radio probes. The radio module must be connected before the measuring instrument is switched on so that it is recognized by the instrument.
Each radio probe has a probe ID (identification number).
This must be set in configuration mode.
See the chapter PERFORMING SETTINGS.

5.2 Switching the instrument on / off

Switching the instrument on:

• Press .
  – Measurement view is opened: The current reading is displayed, or —– lights up if no reading is available.

Switching the instrument off:

• Press and hold (for approx. 2s) until the display goes out.

   – The instrument is now in configuration mode.
   You can change to the next function with ****.  You can leave configuration mode at any time. To do so, press and hold (for approx. 2s) until the instrument has changed to measurement view. Any changes that have already been made in configuration mode will be saved.

2. Carrying out a humidity calibration:
   A 2-point calibration of connected humidity probes can be carried out (11.3%RH and 75.3%RH).
   ✓ Configuration mode is opened, CAL is lit.
   1 Select the desired option with / and confirm with :
