Protimeter MMS Moisture Measurement System

Page 11

2.4.1 Sensor Installation

All humidity probes must be plugged into socket 

EC1

 in the top (“nose”) of 

the instrument. This includes:

•

POL4750

Hygrostick (30-100% RH)

•

POL7750-2

Humistick (1-100% RH)

The only accessories that should be plugged into socket EC2 on the side of the 
instrument are:

•

BLD5804

Surface Temperature Probe

•

MMS-to-PC Data Logging Cable

Note:

With older instruments, the 

Low RH Sensor (0-40% RH)

 

BLD5812

 

was plugged into socket 

EC2

 on the side of the instrument.

2.5 Setup Mode - Selection and Use

The Protimeter MMS instrument has a range of features that can be selected 
by the user (see Table 4 on the next page).

To enter the 

Setup Mode

, switch the instrument 

ON

 and disconnect any 

attachments that may be connected. When the display shows three horizontal 
dashes (

 - - - 

), press 

 momentarily; the word 

SETUP

 then appears in the 

bottom left corner of the LCD together with the code 

S 1

 in the middle of the 

display. Within three seconds, press 

XX

 repeatedly to scroll through the setup 

codes as detailed in Table 4 on the next page. Press 

X

 to set the desired setup 

option.
