3 Quick Start Quick Start This section briefly explains the basics of setting up and operating your thermo-hygrometer. Unpacking Carefully unpack the thermo-hygrometer and inspect the instrument to make sure all compo- nents are present and in satisfactory condition. Verify that the following items are present: 1620A Thermo-Hygrometer AC adapter and power cord Serial cable...
1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer Getting Started Guide Connect the Sensor The sensor for channel 1 connects to the socket at the top-right, and the sensor for channel 2, if used, connects to the socket on the right side. Either sensor may be used with an optional exten- sion cable up to 100 feet (30 meters) in length.
4 Parts and Controls Parts and Controls The functions of the various features of the thermo-hygrometer are described below. Front Panel The front panel buttons ENTER/MENU, Up/Down/Left/Right Arrows, and EXIT are used to select and alter the functions of the thermo-hygrometer (see Figure 1). Figure 1.
1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer Getting Started Guide ENTER/MENU - This button is used to select a menu item, to accept a choice, or save changes to a parameter. EXIT - This button is used to return from a menu or window or cancel changes to a parameter. Pressing the Exit button for a second or so returns from most any menu, menu function, or window back to the main screen.
4 Parts and Controls Alarm Port - The alarm port allows external alarm indicators to be connected to the instrument and activated when an alarm event occurs. The port outputs 0V when inactive and 12V DC (up to 20 mA) when active. The jack accepts a 2.5 mm two-conductor subminature plug (Switch- craft #850).
1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer Getting Started Guide Battery Compartment - The battery compartment holds a 9V alkaline battery used as a backup power source to maintain continuous measurement during a power outage. Power Switch - The power switch turns the power on and off to the thermo-hygrometer, includ- ing power from the battery.
4 Parts and Controls Model 1620A-S includes a 1620A Thermo-Hygrometer readout, a standard accuracy sensor (Model 2626-S), a thermo-hygrometer readout wall mount bracket, power supply (Model 2361), and an RS-232 cable. Accessories The following accessories are available to compliment either the high accuracy or standard thermo-hygrometer readout.
5 General Operation General Operation This section explains basic operation of the thermo-hygrometer. Detailed operation of the thermo-hygrometer is explained in Sections 7 and 8 of the User’s Guide. Section 7 explains the menu structure and the functions available in the menu structure and Section 8 explains the communications interface for operating the thermo-hygrometer remotely.
1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer Getting Started Guide Replace the battery cover. Replace the DC power cord and switch the power on. Used batteries must be disposed of properly. See the WARNINGS section at the beginning of this guide. Sensor Configuration The thermo-hygrometer can be used with one or two sensors of either type attached at either of the two ports.
5 General Operation Measuring The thermo-hygrometer will automatically make measurements on enabled channels at the set period when a sensor is attached. Channels are enabled using the CHANNEL SETTING func- tion in the CHANNEL menu. The measurement period is also set with this function. Unit of Temperature The thermo-hygrometer is capable of displaying temperature in Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F).

1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer Getting Started Guide First, consider that the sensor actually measures its own temperature, not necessarily the tem- perature of the air around it. Ideally, the sensor’s temperature will be the same as the air, but they might be different under less than ideal conditions. One such condition is when there is a source of radiated heat that is “seen”...
