Class 50 portables
These portable instruments are used to measure the following parameters: temperature, relative humidity, CO, pressure, air velocity and light.
Operating temperature, protection of the instrument, and information about storage
- Conditions of use (OC/%RH/m): from 0 to +50 oc. In non-condensing conditions. From 0 to 2000 m.
- Protection: IP54
- Storage temperature: HD 50, LX 50: from -20 to +70 oc. CT 50, CO 50, HM 50, LV 50, MP 50, MP 51, MP 55, VT 50: from -20 to +80 oc. If the instrument is stored outside the operating temperature (for example in a van, a warehouse…), please wait for 1 0 minutes in its operating temperature before start using it.
Keys
- Select
- On/Off/Hold
Take a measurement
WARNING: VT 50 Before using the instrument with the hotwire probe, please lower the protection tube (1) of the sensing element.
WARNING: VT 50: Always use the hotwire probe with the red point in front of the flow.
Switch on the instrument by pressing briefly on “On/Off/Hold”.
The instrument displays its name, then the measurement.
- CO 50: the instrument displays its name then a 5 second countdown. This count corresponds to the preheating time of the sensor. At the end of the countdown, the measured value of CO is displayed.
- MP 50, MP 51: the instrument displays its name then an autozero is performed. At the end of the autozero, the measured value displays.
Press briefly on “Select” to switch measurement parameter display. MP 50, MP 51, MP 55:Presss briefly and successively on “Select” to change the unit.
- Available units for MP 50: Pa, mmH20, inWg, daPa.
- Available units for MP 51: mmH20, kPa, in Wg, mbar, mmHg, daPa.
- Available units for MP 55: mbar, mmHg, hPa.
HM 50: Press briefly on “Select” to select a type of material. Press the spikes in the material to be measured.
When a measurement is over-range, above the maximum range, the value flashes. Below the minimum range, the value is no longer measurable, and the device indicates that it means that for:
- Wood type 1: the measurement is < than 10%
- Wood type 2: the measurement is < than 9%
Plaster, brick, and concrete: the measurement is < than 0.1 %
Carry out a manual autozero (MP 50, MP 51)
During measurement: Remove pressure tubes. Carry out a long press on “Select”. The instrument makes an autozero then returns to the measurement display.
Hold the measurement
During measurement, press briefly on “On/Off/Hold” to hold measurement:
