Operation - Start-up - Analog
After applying power to the device, it will enter the start-up mode and the LCD will indicate the software version number and the output signal type for two
seconds each. Then the device will start normal operation.
Operation - Normal
During normal operation, the installed sensor measurements are read and displayed on the LCD. The analog outputs are updated with the appropriate
values and alarm conditions are monitored.
The relative humidity output signal is scaled 0-100 %RH = 4-20 mA or 0-5 Vdc depending on the device model. For the voltage output model, the output
signal may be changed to 0-10 Vdc by using the Setup Menu.
The temperature output signal is scaled 0-50 °C = 4-20 mA or 0-5/0-10 Vdc depending on the device model. The temperature range may be changed to
32-122 °F via the Setup Menu.
If the model also includes a carbon dioxide sensor, then the output signal is scaled 0-2000 ppm = 4-20 mA or 0-5/0-10 Vdc as above. If required, the CO2
scale can be changed via the Setup Menu to span values up to 5000 ppm.
The sensor readings are also displayed on the LCD depending on the device model and can also be configured with the Setup Menu. There are several
configurations on how information is displayed, see the Menu section for full details. Example displays are shown below.
Operation - Alarms
The device may also have one or two alarm relays installed, depending on the model. Each relay may operate as a high or low alarm and may be assigned
to either RH or temperature. For each alarm assignment, there are default values for the setpoints, hysteresis and time delay. The default values may be
changed within limits as required using the Setup Menu. The details of each setting and operation is explained in the Setup Menu section.
Operation - Setup Menu
The Setup Menu has several items as shown below. To enter the menu, press and release the <MENU> key while in normal operation. This will enter the
Setup Menu step 1, pressing the <MENU> key a second time advances to step 2. Each press of the <MENU> key saves the selection and advances the
menu item.
The <UP> and <DOWN> keys are used to make changes to program variables by scrolling through the available options.
<MENU> Press and release the <MENU> key to enter the Setup Menu
1. Temperature Scale
<MENU> Press to save and advance.
2. Temperature Offset
<MENU> Press to save and advance.
3. Humidity Offset
<MENU> Press to save and advance.
4/7
The temperature scale defaults to Celsius (°C). Use <UP> or <DOWN> to change to Fahrenheit (°F).
This item allows calibration of the temperature sensor. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to add an offset to the temperature
measurement. Use <MENU> to save and advance. -1 subtracts 1 degree from the temperature and +1 adds 1 degree
to the temperature. The range is –10 to +10 °F or -5.0 to +5.0 °C. Resolution is 1 °F or 0.5 °C. Units depends on the
previous C/F setting and resets to 0° if C/F is changed.
This item allows calibration of the RH sensor. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to add an offset to the RH measurement. Press
<MENU> to save and advance. -1 subtracts 1 %RH and +1 adds 1 %RH. The range is –10 to +10 %RH.
