Page 2: Power-Up / Power-Down
Introduction Introduction The Dew Point Meter is a hand-held, electronic instrument that measures, calculates and records climatic parameters, quickly and accurately. Measured parameters are: - Relative Humidity a - Air Temperature s - Surface Temperature d - Dew Point Temperature - Surface minus Dew Point Temperature Surface... -
Page 3: Operation Overview
Operation Overview Operation Overview Upon power-up, the following 5 parameters are displayed and updated automatically each second. - The relative humidity sensor is located inside the white plastic housing. The sensor may require a longer period to stabilize in the event of extreme humidity changes. - Page 4 Smart Trend Indicators - identify rising, falling or stable readings. The instrument compares each measurement with the average of recent values in an attempt to provide the current direction of change. Smart Trend Indicators While the absence of an arrow does not necessarily signify stability, it can be taken to mean that particu- lar parameter is undergoing little or no change.

roubleshooting roubleshooting When the surface temperature probe is not on a surface, Air Temperature and Surface Temperature appear to be different: Under normal conditions with the surface probe in air and T should be within the combined tolerance of each sensor (typically 1°C). It is possible for the difference to be larger if the surface probe has recently been in contact with surfaces that are at a different temperature than air. -
Page 14: Changing The Batteries
Changing The Batteries Changing The Batteries The battery icon displays four bars with fresh alkaline batteries installed. As the batteries weaken, the number of bars will be reduced. When the batter- ies become very weak the Power Warning image will display and the instrument will automatically power-down. -
Page 15: Returning For Service
Returning for Service Returning for Service Before returning the instrument for service… 1.Install new Alkaline batteries in the proper alignment as shown within battery compartment. 2.Examine the surface temperature probe tip for dirt or damage. 3.Perform a Reset (pg. 10) If you must return the instrument for service, describe the problem fully and include measurement results, if any. - Page 16 Certification Certification All PosiTector DPM instruments ship with a Certificate of Calibration.
