GENERAL Congratulations on your purchase of this new and innovative ALMEMO ® measuring instrument. Thanks to the patented ALMEMO connector the de- ® vice configures itself automatically; its operation should be fairly straightfor- ward. The device can, however, be used with such a wide range of sensors and peripherals and offers many different special functions.
3. General In the event of transport damage please retain the packaging material and in- form your supplier immediately. Waste disposal The pictogram showing a waste bin crossed through means that the product is subject to European Union regulations on segregated waste disposal.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DANGER Danger to life and limb, risk of damage to equipment Read the instructions carefully before starting to operate the device. Please ensure that you comply with all general safety advice and the special safety instructions included in other chap- ters.
4. Safety instructions Special notes on use If the device is brought into the work-room from a cold environment • there is a risk that condensation might form on the electronics. In meas- uring operations involving thermocouples pronounced changes in tem- perature may cause substantial measuring errors.
INTRODUCTION The ALMEMO ® 2450-1L is a new member in our family of unique measuring devices - all equipped with Ahlborn's patented ALMEMO ® connector system. The intelligent ALMEMO ® connector offers decisive advantages when connect- ing sensors and peripherals because all parameters are stored in an EEPROM located on the connector itself;...
5. Introduction for any extra settings. Units The 2-character units display can be adapted for each measuring channel so that both the display and via interface always indicate the correct units, e.g. when a transmitter is connected. Conversion between °C (Centigrade) and °F (Fahrenheit) is performed automatically.
6. Initial commissioning Measured value memory A measured value in the display can be saved by simply pressing a key. INITIAL COMMISSIONING 1. Connect sensor to socket M0 (1); see 8. 2. Ensure that the power supply is provided by 3 AA batteries; (3);...
8. Connecting the transducers . After the device is switched off all saved values and settings are re- OFFr tained intact; (see 7.4). If interference (e.g. electrostatic) or a malfunction (e.g. battery failure) causes the device to behave abnormally, the device can be reinitialized. To activate RE- SET press and hold down the key when switching on.
8. Connecting the transducers Measuring inputs and additional channels The ALMEMO ® 2450-1L measuring instrument has one input socket (1) to which initially measuring channel M0 is assigned. ALMEMO ® sensors can, how- ever, if necessary, provide up to four channels. The additional channels can be used in particular for humidity sensors with four measuring variables (tempera- ture / humidity / dew point / mixture ratio) or for function channels.
DISPLAY AND KEYPAD Display The display (2) on the ALMEMO ® 2450-1L measuring instrument is a 2-row LCD arrangement; the main field comprises 5x 7-segment digits (e) plus 2x 16-seg- ment digits (d) for depicting the measured value;,the function field comprises 41/2x 7-segment digits (b) for depicting various measuring functions (a);...

11. Device configuration 10.4 Relative measuring One very useful function is to zero the meas- ured value at certain locations or at certain times as a reference value in order then to ob- serve only the subsequent deviations. This function is independent of the locking status and does not modify the programming parame- ters in the connector.
12. Trouble-shooting in minutes; this will help save the batteries. This automatic device switch OFF will not take effect if the setting is ´- -´ or if a mains adapter or an interface cable is connected. 11.2 Device locking The measured value in the main field of the display can be manipulated by pressing key and setting it to zero.
