The ambient air tem-perature is displayed on the secondary display.#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 13
5 Operation3. Press the button repeatedly to cycle through the display of relative hu-midity, dew point temperature, and mixing ratio.• Relative humidity: The indicator is displayed and the reading isdisplayed in percent (%).• Dew point temperature: The indicator is displayed and the readingis displayed in ℃or ℉, depending on the unit setting.• Mixing ratio: The reading is displayed in grains per pound (GPP) or gramsper kilogram (g/kg), depending on the unit setting.5.4 IR temperature measurementsIR temperature measurements can be performed in all operating modes.The meter is equipped with a laser pointer diode, which is used as a targetingpointer for the IR temperature measurements. The target of the measurementshould be larger than the size of the laser beam spot. As the distance from an ob-ject increases, the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger.The meter’s field of view ratio is 8:1, meaning that if the meter is 8 cm (3.2″) fromthe target, the diameter (spot) of the object under test must be at least 1 cm(0.4″). Refer to Figure 5.1.Figure 5.1 IR spot-to-distance ratioIR measurement notes:• The object under test should be larger than the than the size of the laserbeam spot.• If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc.,clean the surface before measuring.• If the surface of the object is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat blackpaint to the surface before measuring.• The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfa-ces such as glass.#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 14
5 Operation• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., may obscure measurements.• To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest, then scan across(in an up and down motion) until the hot spot is located.WARNINGDo not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eyeirritation.WARNINGDo not use the laser pointer near explosive gases or in other possible explo-sive areas. Injury to persons can occur.1.

Press the button once more to enter Vapor pressure mode. The unitof measure on the main display changes to kPa or mBar, depending on unitsetting.3. Aim the meter at the surface. Press and hold the button.4. The vapor pressure is displayed on the main display. The IR temperature ofthe surface is displayed on the secondary display.5. Release the button to disable the IR sensor and the laser pointer diode.The last IR temperature reading remains on the display for 8 seconds; thenthe meter returns to a display of the ambient air temperature and the in-dicator disappears.#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 16
5 Operation5.7 Selecting measurement unitsThere are two sets of units; US and metric. The unit setting can be changed atany time in any mode, by pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds.The unit setting applies to all modes. It is not possible to, for example, displaymoisture in g/kg while showing temperature in ℉.US unit setting:• Temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (℉).• Mixing ratio is displayed in grains per pound (GPP).• Vapor pressure is displayed in millibars (mBar).Metric unit setting:• Temperature is displayed in degrees Celsius (℃).• Mixing ratio is displayed in grams per kilogram (g/kg).• Vapor pressure is displayed in kilopascals (kPa).5.8 Storing and recalling measurements5.8.1 Datalogger memory locationsThe meter has 20 datalogger memory locations for the storage of measurementdata. Each memory location stores the current readings for all operating modes,with the current unit settings. Thus, each location contains moisture, humidity,ambient temperature, and IR temperature data.5.8.2 Storing a measurement1. Press the button to capture and store the currently displayed readings.The data is saved to the memory location shown by the indicator.The memory location indicator then advances to the next location.
