Getting Started

Charging Batteries

• This instrument operates on the internal rechargeable battery or the provided AC adaptor.
  Connect the provided AC adaptor to start charging. It takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery completely.

• If the battery’s run-time becomes shorter, the battery is replaceable. Open the compartment to replace the batteries with new 18650 Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries with protection circuit. (69mm length).

Caution

• Rapid temperature changes may cause measurement errors. When moving the instrument from one location to another with different ambient temperature allow a sufficient time for the instrument to return to room temperature. (more than ten minutes )

Checking the Temperature/Humidity Probe (Optional accessory for the MODEL 3889)

• Prolonged measurement under high temperature conditions or measurement under rapid temperature change may result in abnormally high humidity readings due to condensation.
  If condensation occurs, leave the probe in atmosphere of 40%RH or less for 24 hours to dry the probe.

Turning the Power ON/OFF

• Press and hold the Home button to turn the power on. A logo appears and then it turns to the startup screen. When the pump and other parts are ready to perform a measurement, the Main screen for ready to measure will be displayed.
• To turn the power OFF, press and hold the Home button (3 second or more) from any screens.

Measurement Procedures

Turning the Power ON

• Press and hold the Home button to turn the power on. A logo appears and then it turns to the startup screen. Touch the startup screen to display the Main screen ready to measure.

Internal Cleaning

• Prior to use, purge the instrument (for internal cleaning) with the provided zero filter.
• Remove the Inlet protective cap, and attach the provided zero count filter to the inlet.
• Turn the power on and press the Start button. Perform a continuous measurement for 10 to 15 minutes until the measuring count value is suitable for 10 sec. or more.
• After measurement, remove the zero count filter from the inlet.

Measurement

• Use the General setup and Measurement setup sub-menus to configure the necessary settings.
• Set the measurement conditions from the Measurement mode. You can also select the measurement conditions from the Preset.
• Return to the Main screen. Press the Start button to perform a measurement.
• The measurement will complete automatically or by pressing the Stop button.
• The previous measurement results can be viewed from the History sub-menu.

Turning the Power OFF

• Press and hold the Home button from any screens to turn the power OFF.

Errors

• The following table explains possible errors due to self-diagnosis function. Even if an error occurs, the measurement and other processes will be continued.

and filter from the instrument.
If the error persists, the possible cause is failure or the end-of-life of the pump.
Maximum measurable concentration exceeded| The concentration exceeds the maximum measurable range.   Perform the measurement at a cleaner location or with the Zero count filter
