driven deep into a hard material. For softer materials like soil, paper or powders, readings are
more likely to reflect the average moisture level of the material between its surface and the
penetration depth of the pins (normally far less than 3/8 in.).
The RH650 can store and recall 20 pairs of measurements in its nonvolatile memory. The
instrument also can be set up to sound an alarm if a measured RH or moisture level is above or
below a user-defined setpoint. Finally, the unit can track the maximum or minimum reading of
any parameter over the duration of a measurement session. The unit is powered by an included
“9V” battery.
KEY FEATURES

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not opera
te the RH650 in the presence of flammable or explosive gases.
The steel pins of the external moisture probe are very sharp. When using the probe, be careful
not to stab yourself or anyone else. Remember to replace the protective cap over the pins when
finished using the probe.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The RH650 comes in a soft pouch inside an illustrated box. Also inside the pouch are a
pin-type moisture probe, a sensor protection cap, a “9V” battery and this user’s manual.
