General Tools and Instruments DTH3007SD - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ DTH3007SD Thermometer-Humidity
Meter with Datalogging SD Card. Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the instrument.
The DTH3007SD is a general purpose handheld instrument that can make four kinds of
measurements:
• The temperature and humidity of a fluid (simultaneously)
• The dew point of ambient air
• The wet-bulb temperature of ambient air
• The temperature of a surface
The instrument comes with a temperature-humidity probe that is used to make the first
three types of measurement. Surface temperature measurements are made using an
optional Type K or Type J thermocouple.
Several features and capabilities enhance the DTH3007SD’s versatility. Among them are
automatic temperature compensation for dew point, wet-bulb and thermocouple
measurements; the ability to hold readings and display maximum and minimum readings;
and an automatic power off function that extends battery life.
Because it is microprocessor-based, the DTH3007SD can make full use of the portability,
reliability and large storage capacities that SD memory cards offer. Measurements can be
made automatically at any sampling rate between one second and one hour. After the
instrument time-stamps and stores the measurements on an SD card plugged into it (a
process called datalogging), the user can remove the card and plug it into a laptop or
desktop computer either directly or via a USB card reader. The data logs are stored on the
card as files with the .xls extension that can be opened by Microsoft’s Excel application.
The DTH3007SD has a backlit 2-1/2 in. diagonal display and is powered by six “AA”
Alkaline batteries or an optional 9-VDC AC adapter.
