It is our aim to supply the most reliable and simple instruments that money can buy. We are confident that this instrument will give you many years of useful service. BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS 1. Your new instrument will be suitable for the power supply you gave on your order. Check the rating plate next to the power cable inlet to confirm this. 2. Connect the power supply and switch on. The power lamp will light but the reading on the dial will stay at the left-hand end of the dial. 3. Plug one end of the blue sensor cable provided into the coaxial socket on the righthand end of the instrument. The dial reading will stay at the left-hand end of the dial. 4. Check the RANGE given on the sensor can label, to confirm that it matches the dial on the meter. 5. Remove the lid from the sensor can, BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE SENSOR. 6. Connect the other end of the blue sensor cable to the socket of the sensor (visible at the top of the sensor can). The meter reading will move up the dial, but will not go past the right-hand end mark. (If it does, refer to the trouble-shooting page in this manual) 7. Remove the sensor from its can, take the packing piece off to reveal the filter, and discard the desiccant pack. Do not handle the filter on the sensor. 8. The reading will move up towards the right-hand end of the dial. Dials for Purple, Silver, Grey, Red and Yellow Spot sensors have a line at the right hand end marked Automatic Calibration, and the reading should be exactly on that line. Other sensors should now be reading the room air dewpoint temperature. The equipment has already been calibrated, but a slight adjustment may be necessary to put the reading exactly at the correct position because of differences in local conditions. (to do this use the control marked Automatic Calibration , after unscrewing its cover.) 9. Install the sensor where it is to operate.
