Warranty

Dickson warrants that the products it sells will be free from defects in material and workmanship under 
normal use and service for a period of twelve months after delivery. In the event of a claim under this 
warranty, the product or part must be returned to the factory for repair or replacement (shipping pre-paid) 
with a Return Authorization Number (see Return Information above).  It will be repaired at Dickson’s option 
without charge.  This warranty DOES NOT cover routine calibration, pen, chart and battery replacement.  The 
foregoing warranty and remedy are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties either expressed or implied.  
Dickson shall not be liable for consequential or incidental damages resulting from failure or malfunction of 
its products. Dickson makes no warranty for products not manufactured by it or for any products modified by 
buyer, or subject to misuse or neglect.

Dip Switch Setup

To set-up the THDx for your specific application, you 
might need to change some of the Dip Switches. 
Every time you change a dip switch setting, you must 
push the up arrow key on the keypad to activate the 
new dip switch settings.

Recording Time

The THDx has four different recording time options: 
1 day, 7 day, 14 day and 31 day. Dip Switch #1 and 
#2 control the recording time.
 

7 day 

 

#1 off

 

 

 

#2 off

#2 on

 

14 day

31 day

#2 on

NOTE: Remember to install correct chart to match 
corresponding switch setting.

°F/C

You can record in °F or °C with the THDx by using 
dip switch #3.
 

°F 

 

#3 off

 

°C 

 

#3 on

Temperature Range

The THDx will record in two temperature ranges. 
Dip switch #4 allows you to select the temperature 
range.
 

Wide Range 

 

 

-20 to +120°F (-20 to +50°C)  #4 off

 

Narrow Range

 

+40 to +110°F (+5 to +40°C)  #4 on

RH/Dew Point

Dip switch #5 allows you to select whether RH or 
dew point is recorded by the blue pen. (The red pen 
always records temperature.)
 

 

RH 

 

#5 off

 

 

Dew Point   

#5 on

NOTE: When the blue pen is recording dew point, 
the reading indicates the temperature at which dew 
will form, so you should use the temperature scale 
on the chart to read dew point.

Display

The THDx has a dual display that shows both 
temperature and humidity (or temperature and dew 
point if dip switch #5 is on). With dip switch #6 you 
can control the position of the variables displayed.
 

Temperature on top 

#6 off

 

Temperature on bottom 

#6 on

Display On/Off

Dip switch #7 will allow you to turn the display on 
and off.

#7 off

 

 

Display Off

Keypad Lock

For security purposes it is possible to lock the key 
pad with the use of dip switch #8. You may want 
to lock the keypad to prevent unauthorized persons 
from using the keypad to set alarms or change the 
calibration. (For more information on use of the 
keypad see “Keypad Operations” on pg. 5.)
