Manual 

 

Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing a PCE-313A from PCE Instruments. 
The PCE-313A humidity and temperature data logger has been designed for professional use, for 
instance in the air conditioning sector. It can measure the relative humidity as well as the ambient 
temperature. This device can be connected to K-type thermocouples. The sampling rate for real-time 
measurements can be adjusted and you can save your readings either to the internal memory of this 
instrument to an SD memory card with a capacity of 1 … 16 GB. The values saved on the SD card as an 
xls file can be transferred to a PC for further analysis. The PCE-313A can work independently, without the 
user being present during the measurement as it can be programmed via the keypad in advance. For 
long-term measurements we recommend you to use the PCE-313A with the optional mains adaptor.
