4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Display Overview

The device simultaneously displays the current temperature and humidity. Additionally, it shows the minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) recorded values for both parameters. A 7-day graph provides a visual representation of historical data.

4.2 Viewing Historical Data

To scroll through temperature and humidity data for the past seven days, use the designated navigation buttons on the unit. Refer to the on-screen prompts or specific button labels for navigation. Historical data is automatically stored and cannot be manually cleared, ensuring data integrity.

4.3 Changing Units and Time Format

The unit allows for easy switching between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature scales. Similarly, the time display can be toggled between 12-hour and 24-hour formats. Locate the dedicated °F/°C and 12/24-hour buttons or menu options on the device to adjust these settings.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To clean the device, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the unit in water. Ensure no liquid enters the device openings.

5.2 Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the thermohygrometer in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Protect the probe from physical damage.

5.3 Calibration

Your device comes with NIST-traceable calibration. For continued accuracy, periodic recalibration may be required depending on your application and regulatory requirements. Contact Thomas Scientific for recalibration services.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Display: Ensure the device is properly connected to a power source. Check the power outlet.
• Inaccurate Readings: Verify the probe is correctly positioned and not obstructed. Ensure the device is not exposed to extreme conditions outside its operating range. Allow sufficient time for the device to stabilize in a new environment.
• Buttons Unresponsive: Disconnect and reconnect the power to reset the device. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
