    Introduction The GE Protimeter Hygromaster is a handheld hygrometer with data logging capability. Spot measurements of relative humidity, dew point, mixing ratio and ambient temperature are shown on a split display at the touch of a button. Surface temperature can also be measured using an optional surface temperature sensor.
  • Page 4: Hygrostick® And Quikstick Humidity Probe Options

    ® Hygrostick and Quikstick Humidity Probe Options The Hygromaster is used with a detachable humidity probe to measure relative humidity and ambient temperature. Two humidity probes are available, the Hygrostick and the Quikstick. The Hygrostick is optimized for measuring humidity in the 30-100 %rh range and may be used with Protimeter humidity sleeves for measuring the equilibrium relative humidity of solid walls and floors.
  • Page 5: Function Buttons

    Function Buttons The Hygromaster has four buttons (see Table 2 below) that are used individually or in pairs to take measurements, log readings and set-up the instrument. When pressed individually they perform the following standard functions: Table 2: Function Buttons...

    Confirm that the instrument serial number has been read correctly (not shown as “-”). This would indicate that the communications have been established. If not, check settings under the “Communication” tab. Click on “Set Time” to set the instrument clock to the PC clock time. GE Protimeter Hygromaster Page 16...
