Behind the back cover of the RHMG650 are two metal plates. When the meter is powered on, the plates are given small and opposite charges. The potential difference causes current to flow, creating a three-dimensional electric field.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX The RHMG650 comes in a soft pouch inside an illustrated box. Also inside the pouch are a pin-type moisture probe, a sensor protection cap, a “9V” battery and this user’s manual. PRODUCT OVERVIEW Fig.

APO will not appear on the LCD. SELECTING A PARAMETER The RHMG650 can measure and display the value of eight different moisture-related parameters. When the meter is in measurement mode, you select a parameter by pressing either the UP> and <DN buttons to move the M pointer on the top line of the LCD directly above it.
GENERAL CONTROLS Changing measurement units. By default, the RHMG650 uses Imperial units for all parametric readouts. To switch to metric units, press the UNIT button. Ambient temperatures and dew points will then be displayed as °C rather than °F; absolute humidity values will be stated in g/m rather than in mg/L;...
SETTING ALARMS The RHMG650 allows you to set alarms that will repeatedly sound the beeper if the measured RH level or the moisture level of a material (measured by either the pinless or pin-type sensor) is above or below a certain value.

LOW setpoint. It also causes LOW to disappear and returns the RHMG650 to operation in real-time RH measurement mode. To disarm any of the six alarms (HIGH and LOW for RH, MOIST INT and MOIST EXT), you must reset its setpoint to 100.0% or 0.0% by pressing the UP>...
1. Use the UP> or <DN button to move the M pointer above MOIST EXT. 2. Insert the plug of the probe into the jack on the bottom of the RHMG650. 3. Remove the protective cap from the business end of the probe and set it aside.
One reference salt should produce a reading of a 33%; the other should produce a reading of 75%. Two salts of this type are available from General: the HR33 (33%) MgCl Calibration Salt and the HR75 (75%) NaCl Calibration Salt.
