Keypad Operation

On/Off

When you press the “ON/OFF” key the pens will 
move to the correct reading.

Alarm Set

The alarm set keys are labeled with arrows that 
point up and down. You can set a minimum and 
maximum alarm for both of the two variables you 
are recording.
  1.  To set the alarms press the “ALARM SET” key.  
    The MIN symbol will be displayed and the  
    temperature will flash. (Note: The alarm set  
    function always starts with temperature. If 
    you do not want an alarm to sound for 
    temperature readings set the alarms for points  
    that are outside of the range.)
  2.  Use the up arrow button to increase the 
    minimum temperature alarm setting and the  
    down arrow to decrease the minimum 
    temperature alarm setting.
  3.  Press “ALARM SET” key a second time. The 
    MAX symbol will appear and the temperature  
    will flash indicating that you can now set the  
    maximum temperature alarm. Use the same  
    procedure as in step 2 above for setting the  
    temperature maximum alarm setting.
  4.  Press the “ALARM SET” key a third time and  
    the MIN symbol will appear and humidity  
    (or dew point dip switch #5 is on) will flash.  
    Use the same process as in steps 2 and 3  
    above to set humidity and dew point alarm.
  5.  When you have set alarms for both variables  
    press “ALARM SET” a final time to lock in 
    settings.

The defaults for alarm settings are:
  Temperature: +40°F min to +110°F max
  Humidity: 20% min, 80% max

NOTE: Alarm settings will return to the default when 
AC power fails and there are no batteries installed 
for back-up power.

Alarm ON/OFF

This button turns the alarms on and off. When 
alarms are “ON” the alarm symbol appears on the 
display. When alarm sounds it will sound audibly for 
approximately 1 minute and then it will stop. For a 
visual, the variable that has moved outside of the 
minimum or maximum points that you set will flash 
(i.e. if you set a maximum alarm for +80°F and tem-
perature r80°F the temperature portion of 
the display will flash).

MIN/MAX

  1.  Press the “MIN/MAX” key once and the    
    minimum values, during the recording time,  
    will be displayed for 7 seconds.
  2.  Press the “MIN/MAX” key again and the 
    maximum values, during the recording time,  
    will be displayed for 7 seconds.
  3.  Press the “MIN/MAX” key a third time during  
    this period and the display will show current  
    readings. The unit will always return to current 
    readings mode after 7 seconds.

NOTE: Turning the unit off resets the minimum and 
maximum values.

Pen Home

Press the “PEN HOME” key while the unit is operat-
ing and the pens move to the outside of the chart. 
Press the “PEN HOME” key again and the pens will 
return to current reading points on the chart.

Display Change

Press the “DISPLAY CHANGE” key and the display 
will temporarily show the reading opposite of what 
is being recorded (i.e. if dip switch #5 is off and 
you are recording the RH, pressing the “DISPLAY 
CHANGE” key will temporarily change the display to 
show the dew point reading).

NOTE: If the unit does not respond to keypad, check 
to see that dip switch #8 is off.
