Section 1 - Introduction
Model RH511 is a handheld/benchtop meter that can measure & display
ambient temperature, relative humidity, non-contact infrared temperature, and
dual K type thermocouple temperatures.
RH511 comes with a custom backlit LCD. The LCD can display three parameters
simultaneously. It also comes with a membrane keypad to operate the unit.
RH511 has built-in wireless capability. It acts as a wireless receiver when used
with our wireless temperature/RH transmitter, model CTXL-PT.
RH511 has a built-in laser sighting feature used as an aiming tool to measure
non-contact target temperatures. The laser beam is switchable between laser dot
and circle. The laser dot indicates the center of the target temperature. The laser
circle indicates the area of the target that is being measured which is the optical
field of view of the device.
RH511 operates from 6 AA size batteries. It also has 9Vdc adapter input and USB
PC interface. The DC adapter is used for long term measurement and display.
The USB port is used to configure the unit and downloading logged data.
RH511 has logging capability where the user can log all the inputs (Ambient
Temperature, Relative Humidity, Thermocouple 1, Thermocouple 2, Infrared
Temperature) simultaneously. The logging interval can be set from the front
keypad and the display menus.
RH511 comes in a plastic enclosure with a rubber boot, tilt stand, and tripod
mount.
Figure 1-1 shows all the icons and digits of the custom made LCD for RH511.

Infrared Function
Figure 2-7 shows the optical field of view of the infrared temperature
measurement. You can set the target emissivity from screen no. 6 Fig. 2-3. Simply
aim the infrared lens to the target object, press and hold the laser button to turn
on the laser beam. The laser beam indicates either the center of the target object
(Laser Dot) or the area of the target being measured (Laser circle). There is a 5/8
inch offset between the center of the optical field of view and the laser beam. It
may take a few moments for the IR reading to stabilize. For more details
regarding laser sighting, please refer to Section 5.
Figure 2-8 shows the proper way of measuring infrared target temperature.

Section 3 – Wireless Operation
The RH511 can communicate with our wireless temperature/RH probe
transmitter model CTXL-PT series. The RH511 becomes a wireless receiver and
can receive & display temperature/RH data from the wireless probe. This option
is very helpful for applications where the probe and the meter can not be
physically connected, or the meter has to monitor multiple wireless probes.
The wireless RH511 comes in two models:
RH511-W9 works with CTXL-PT-W9 915 MHz wireless probe (US & Canada)
RH511-W8 works with CTXL-PT-W8 868 MHz wireless probe (Europe)

Section 5 - Laser Sighting
CAUTION:
You may receive harmful laser radiation exposure if you do
not adhere to the following warnings:
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified here may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
• Do not look at the laser beam coming out of the lens or
view directly with optical instruments. Eye damage can result.
• Use extreme caution when operating the laser sighting.
• Never point the laser beam at a person.
• Do not attempt to open the meter. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Keep out of reach of all children.
5.1 Description
The laser sighting is built into the handheld meter. It provides a visual indication
of the field of view of the thermometer. There is a laser switch in front of the
instrument. It switches between laser dot and circle when the laser beam is
turned on. Figure 2-1 shows the laser warning label, the location of the laser
dot/circle switch, and all the controls.
5.2 Operating the Laser Sighting
The laser sighting provides a visual indication of the optical field of view of the
thermometer when measuring non-contact temperatures. The following
procedure lists all the steps necessary to measure non-contact temperatures
using laser sighting:
• Set the target Emissivity from the display menus.
• Aim the optical lens to the target object.
• Press & hold the Laser key on the front membrane keypad. The laser beam will
turn on, and the LCD display will show the laser icon. Once the laser key is
released, the laser beam will turn off, and the laser icon will turn off from the
display.
• You can set the laser switch to laser dot or circle. The laser dot indicates the
center of the target, the laser circle indicates the perimeter of the area of the
target being measured. Figure 5-1 shows the two laser configurations.

Error Codes
Section 7 - Error Codes
Transmitter Error Codes
The wireless transmitter uses the Red LED to provide different error information
to the user and to the wireless receiver as follows:
2 Red LED Blinks means there is an RF communication error such as Framing,
CRC, buffer overflow, etc.
3 Red LED Blinks means that the transmitter fails to communicate with the
sensor probe
4 Red LED Blinks means Low Battery indication.
The highest priority error code is 2 blinks for RF communication error. The
lowest priority error code is 4 blinks to indicate low battery. If multiple errors
occur at the same time such as bad sensor probe and low battery, the
transmitter's red LED will blink 3 times. Only when this error clears, then the
transmitter's red LED will blink 4 times to indicate the low battery. The red LED
error reporting occurs every 30 seconds regardless of the transmission time
interval.
Receiver (Multi-meter) Error Codes
The wireless meter basically reflects all the error codes of the wireless transmitter
on the display as different icons:
E1 means No good message has been received from the transmitter within 4
transmission time intervals (like 4 minutes for 1 minute time interval), or 30
seconds minimum. The receiver will continue to search for the transmitter’s
message 10 more minutes before deciding that the transmitter is either off, out of
order, or out of range at which point the receiver will shut itself off to conserve
power.
If the wireless transmitter is back on line after 10 minutes, then the user needs to
un-plug the receiver from the recorder and plug it back in to reset the wireless
receiver.
E2 means there is an RF communication error such as Framing,
CRC, buffer overflow, etc.
E3 means that the transmitter fails to communicate with the
sensor probe
E4 means the transmitter’s Battery is low.
The highest priority error code is E1 for No good message from the
transmitter. The lowest priority error code is E4 to indicate transmitter’s low
battery.
