Dwyer 485B Model Digital Hygrometer Instruction Manual
Model 485B Digital Thermo-Hygrometer is a versatile, compact, hand-held instrument for measuring percentage of relative humidity and temperature in °F or °C. Dew point and wet bulb temperatures are derived from relative humidity and temperature measurements and displayed on the LCD. The hold key freezes the current temperature and relative humidity readings for situations where readings fluctuate. Store up to 99 readings with the non-volatile memory function – ideal for technicians needing to take multiple readings for later analysis.
Battery Installation
The unit is shipped with a separate 9 V alkaline battery which must be
installed before operation. Remove the two screws holding the bottom endcap in
place and remove it.
Connect the battery to the enclosed battery clip, observing correct polarity.
Be careful not to trap the wires between the case or foam pad which retains
the battery.
This could make it difficult to install the battery or remove it later for
replacement. Be sure the rubber gasket is properly seated in the gasket
channel and replace the endcap.
Note that the endcap will only fit one way because the holes are slightly off
center.
Place the “Z” shaped wrist strap clip in one of the screw recesses and replace
the screws. Do not overtighten. Attach the wrist strap to the clip.
When battery replacement becomes necessary, use only 9 volt alkaline type batteries such as a Duracell® MN1604, or Eveready® 522 or equivalent. Zinc- carbon types, often labeled Heavy-Duty are not recommended because of their shorter life and an increased potential for leakage. Alkaline batteries are a better value because they last typically up to three times longer in this device.
Low Battery Indicator
A weak battery may cause improper operation or inaccurate measurements. A low battery indicator ( ) is provided on the display to show when the battery needs to be replaced. Although the unit may appear to function and read properly, the accuracy of the readings cannot be guaranteed when the ( ) indicator is empty of power segments. Replace the battery with a fresh one. Do not leave an exhausted battery in the unit due to potential battery leakage.
