PRODUCT FEATURES Description The Thermo-Hygrometer Model CA846 is a portable, compact digital meter designed for simplicity and one-hand operation. The meter uses an NTC as the temperature sensor providing excellent response time to changes in temperature, good repeatability and accurate readings. The Model CA846 also utilizes a thin-lm polymer-capacitive type relative humidity sensor as hygrometer sensor, offering excellent recovery from 100% moisture and fast response time and durability. 1.

• Press the button again to turn the Back-Light OFF. • Press the button for 2 seconds to change the temperature scale to °C or °F. The temperature scale °C or °F is displayed in the lower right hand corner of the display. 2.2.3 MAX Button • Press the MAX button to enter the MAX mode. The “MAX” annunciator appears in the upper right hand corner of the display. • The selected range (%RH or °C/°F) records and updates the maximum absolute values. • Press the MAX button again to exit the MAX-recording mode (“MAX” goes out). • The HOLD button may be used in the MAX mode to “Freeze” (no longer updates) the MAX measurement on the display. 2.2.4 HOLD Button The Hold button “freezes” the reading on the display. Press the “HOLD” button to toggle (activate/release) HOLD. In the HOLD mode, the “HOLD” annunciator is displayed in the upper part of the LCD display and the last reading is displayed until released.

Avoid temperature measurement errors induced by too short mea- surement time, sunshine during the measurement, heating, cold outer walls, air draft (e.g. fans), radiating sources including hand and/or body heat, etc. • Avoid humidity measurement errors induced by steam, water splashes, dripping water or condensation on the sensor, etc. • Avoid sensor contamination induced by particles in the air or measure- ments in powder like substances. Contamination may be avoided by measuring through a lter (user supplied). The lter must be cleaned or replaced periodically, depending upon the degree of contamination at the measurement site. Operating the Model CA846 1. Unscrew the protective metal tube covering the sensor. 2. Set the power switch to the desired %RH or °C/°F range. 3. Let the reading(s) stabilize (%RH takes at least 60 seconds to reach 90%). 4. Read the display. 5. After use, screw the protective metal tube back onto the sensor. 6. Turn the instrument OFF when nished. Thermo-Hygrometer Model CA846 1.800.561.8187 information@itm.com www. .com...
Replacing the Battery symbol appears on the LCD display when replacement is needed. Replace with a standard 9V battery (NEDA 1604, IEC 6F22). To replace the battery: • Turn the Thermo-Hygrometer OFF. • Remove the rubber holster. • Remove the screw from the back of the meter and lift off the battery cover. • Replace the battery, then put the rear cover and holster back on. Cleaning • Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water. • Rinse with a damp cloth and then dry with a dry cloth. • Do not use any abrasives or solvents. • Do not let any liquid enter the case or sensor area.
