Safety precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).

We herewith confirm that this product meets the essential protection standards, which are given in directions of council for adaptation of the administration regulations for UK of Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016 and the Electrical Equipment (safety) regulations 2016.

The following safety precautions must be observed before operation. Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever:

• Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
• Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
• Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
• Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
• Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
• Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period.
• Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
• Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
• Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
• Do not modify the meter in any way.
• Opening the equipment and service- and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel.

Cleaning the cabinet
Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild householder cleanser. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.

Operating Instruction

1. Press the “ON” button to turn on the unit.
2. Select the desired measurement function:
   Select the measurement function with the option key (3) on the device’s side.

The three possible measurement functions are:

% R.H. (Relative Humidity)|

---|---
°C Temperature Measurement|
°F Temperature Measurement|

After the desired measurement function is selected, the device  automatically switches from the selection mode to measuring mode and you can start your measurements.

Performing Measurement

General:

1. Temperature measurement:
   The display shows the air temperature in °C/°F.

2. Humidity measurement:
   The display shows the relative humidity in %RH.
   Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor at room or ambient air.

3. To “freeze” the current reading press the “HOLD” – button.
   The display stops updating the measured values and the “HOLD” – symbol appears.

Automatic Power Off:
If the device is no longer used, it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.

Back light:
This unit features an automatic back light, which activates the back light when the light sensor on the front panel detects low light conditions.

Battery Replacement

If the sign appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced.

Remove the back cover and open the battery compartment.
Replace the exhausted battery with new battery.

Batteries, which are used up dispose duly. Used up batteries are hazardous and must be given in the – for this being supposed – collective container

NOTE

1. Keep the instrument dry.
2.  Keep the probes clean.
3. Keep the instrument and battery out of reach of infant and child.
4. When the symbol appears, the battery is low and should be replaced immediately. When you install battery, ensure the polarity connections are correct. If you will not use the instrument in a long period of time, remove the battery.
