INTRODUCTION The Sper Scientific RH/Temperature SD Card Datalogger (Model 800021) is an extremely accurate meter with fast response times that reads relative humidity (RH), ambient temperature, dew point, wet bulb, and functions as a Type K/J thermocouple thermometer. This meter features a real time SD memory card datalogger.
FEATURES • Functions as humidity/temperature, dew point, wet bulb, and Type K/J thermometer • SD memory card datalogger • Manual datalogger option • Fast response time for humidity • Highly accurate microcomputer circuit • Direct upload of data to Excel •...
MATERIALS SUPPLIED • Meter • Probe • SD Card • 6 AA Batteries • Instruction Manual • Soft Carrying Case POWER SUPPLY This meter can be powered by six AA (1.5 V, UM3) batteries or an optional 9 Volt DC adapter. See page 21 for battery replacement instructions.

Note… When using the meter for the first time, the meter will default to the humidity/temperature function and to the Celsius scale for the temperature value. See page 12 for instructions on changing the temperature scale. Dew Point 1. Follow Steps 1-2 in the preceding Humidity and Temperature section.
Note… When using the meter for the first time, the meter will default to K type thermocouple. See page 12 for instructions on selecting the thermocouple type. Hold Function 1. When measuring any parameter, press HOLD to freeze the reading on the display. “HOLD” will appear on the LCD. 2.

3. The folder HTA01\ will hold 99 files. A new route (i.e., HTA02\) will be generated when exceeding 99 files. 4. The file’s route structure: HTA01\ HTA01001.XLS HTA01002.XLS ………………… HTA01099.XLS HTA02\ HTA02001.XLS HTA02002.XLS ………………… HTA02099.XLS HTAXX\ ………………… ………………… Note… XX: Maximum value is 10.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT This meter uses six AA (1.5 V, UM3) batteries. When the low battery indicator appears on the LCD, battery replacement is needed. After the icon appears on the LCD, in-spec measurement can still be made for several hours before becoming inaccurate.
