  • Page 30: Operation

    The HC2A probes are compatible with a large number of indicators, data loggers and transmitters from ROTRONIC. Operating instructions are provided in each device manual. The HC2A probes can also be used as a conventional analog probe. See Accessories, supply voltage adapters, connectors and cables. Use the HW4 software to configure the probe as desired, complete the mechanical and electrical installation and power up the probe.

  • Page 31: Connectivity Examples For Stand-Alone Probes

    (see Accessories). Probe configuration and full access to all probe functions requires a PC with the ROTRONIC HW4 software installed. When using the standard RO-ASCII protocol, access to some of the probe functions is also possible without HW4. For details, see document E-M-AC3000-CP.

  • Page 32: Hand-Held Probes Used With An Indicator

    Non-moving air is an excellent insulator. When there is no air movement, surprising differences in temperature and humidity can noted over short distances. Air movement at the probe generally results in measurements that are both faster and more accurate. © 2016  ROTRONIC AG  Bassersdorf  Switzerland Page 32 of 40...

  • Page 33: Maintenance

    For connecting the HC2A probe to a PC, use a digital adapter cable AC3001 (see document E-M- HC2-accessories). Procedure for adjusting the HC2A probe with the ROTRONIC HW4 software: o Connect the HC2A probe to the HW4 PC as explained in the HW4 manual E-M-HW4v3-Main o Start HW4 software on the PC and search for the HC2A probe.
