Introduction

This manual contains information necessary safely operate the Fluke 5020A Thermo- Hygrometer.

The Fluke 5020A is a low-cost, high-accuracy, digital thermo-hygrometer. Its unique combination of features makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications from laboratory to industrial ambient measurement. Features of the thermo-hygrometer include:

•Two channels measure ambient temperature to ±0.125 °C and %RH to ±1.5%

•Two sensors, each measuring temperature and relative humidity; each is detachable, cable-extendable, and interchangeable, with self-contained calibration; each may be assigned a unique 16-character identification

•Display resolution is user selectable up to 0.001 °C and 0.01% RH

•On-board memory holds up to 400,000 time/date-stamped readings

•Removable data card option for additional data storage and ease of data transfer to and from a PC.

•Visual and audio alarms for various alarm or fault conditions

•May be wall mounted or set on a bench top

•Detachable sensors contain their own calibration data for easy recalibrations

•Optional software logs in real-time or shows graphical/statistical data from data card (Data card is optional and not needed to run the software for real-time logging.)

•Password protection of settings

•Large, monochrome LCD, displays temperature and humidity data graphically, numerically, and statistically; 16 pre-defined, user-changeable screen setups; display viewable in bright or dim lighting
