• Place the device in a location where recording of ambient temperature and/or relative

humidity is required. Refer to the technical specifications for allowed operating

temperature range.

• When the datalogger is set up to start manually (delayed start), the green LED (6) will

flash two times every 10 seconds. Press the Start button (3) until the green (6) and

yellow LED (5) flash once (together). The datalogger starts logging and the green LED

(6) will flash every 10 seconds (increase this value through the setup procedure to

increase battery life).

• To download the data into the personal computer, start the datalogger software,

remove the protective cover (1) and plug the datalogger into a free USB-slot.

• Refer to the help-function of the datalogger software (‘Help’  ‘Help topics …’) for

more information on downloading and handling the data from the datalogger.

LED (5) will blink, showing alternately the first and second alarm every 10

seconds.

Note 2: when battery is low, all operations will be disabled automatically and memory

will be preserved.

1.7. Cleaning and storage

• The humidity and temperature sensors (4) are very sensitive. Avoid dust, smoke and

other particles to enter the housing. Refer to paragraph “Sensor reconditioning”

• Wipe the datalogger regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or

solvents. Do not touch the USB connector.

• Do not submerge the datalogger in water or any other liquid.

• There are no user-serviceable parts.

• Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.

1.8. Battery

screwdriver). Move the pointed object in the direction of the arrow.

• (2) Gently pull the datalogger from the casing.

• (3) Remove/insert the battery. Only use 3.6V Lithium batteries. Make sure the

polarity is as indicated in the casing. When the battery is inserted, the green and

yellow LEDs will flash alternately.

• (4) Slide the datalogger back in the housing until it snaps into place. Configure the

datalogger using the enclosed software.

1.9. Sensor reconditioning

Over time, the internal sensor may become compromised as a result of pollutants,

chemical vapours or other environmental conditions. This can lead to inaccurate

readings. To recondition the internal sensors, use following procedure:

• Heat the datalogger to +80°C (+176°F), humidity < 5% for 36 hours.

• Keep the datalogger at+20~+30°C (+70~+90°F), humidity >74% for 48 hours
