3. Press the RH/DP/WB button to cycle
between relative humidity, dew
point, and wet bulb temperatures.
4. The air temperature will always be
shown in the lower display and the
relative humidity, dew point, or wet
bulb measurement will be displayed
in the upper display in real-time.
5. Insert sensor probe into duct for
in-duct measurements.

Description
With your purchase of the SRH3 you
now have the ability to take supply/
return temperature, %RH, wet bulb
and dew point measurements from
inside the duct or plenum.
Your SRH3 is a portable, hand held,
diagnostic psychrometer, designed
for the HVAC/R technician.
SRH3 helps you properly charge
a fixed restrictor system by quickly
determining the Target Superheat
(TSH). Your SRH3 can also help
determine optimum airflow across
the evaporator by easily performing
a Target Evaporator Exit Temperature
(TEET) test.
The 38"(96cm) telescoping probe
with laser etched ruling and flattened
edges allows you to locate proper
measurement points within a duct and
ensures that your probe is properly
aligned.
The dual display with a bright
backlight, rugged rubber boot with
probe clips, make sure the SRH3 is
ready for any job.

Functions
Backlight
1. Press the backlight button to toggle the backlight
on/off at any time during the SRH3's use.
Note: The back light will automatically shut off after 1
minute to conserve battery life.
Maximum/Minimum/Hold
1. Pressing the MAX/MIN/H button activates the
Max-Min-Hold function, holding the maximum and
minimum measured values until cleared.
2. Once the Max-Min-Hold function has been
enabled, pressing MAX/MIN/H cycles between
displaying maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN) and
freezing the current value.
3. Press and hold the MAX/MIN/H button for 2 seconds
to erases all stored maximum and minimum values
and return to real-time measurements.
Units
1. Press the units button to switch between degrees
Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Battery Check
1. Press and hold the UNIT button for 2 seconds to
display the battery life in percentage.
Output
1. Press the OUTPUT button to perform calculations
of Target Superheat and Target Evaporator Exit
Temperature after necessary measurements have
been entered.
How to Use
Normal Mode
Normal mode allows you quickly
and easily take real-time dry bulb, wet
bulb, dew point, and relative humidity
measurements.
1. Press TSH/TEET/NORM button until NORM is
displayed in lower left corner.
2. For upper display measurements, press the RH/DP/
WB button to toggle relative humidity, dew point,
or wet bulb temperature measurements.
Note: Dry bulb (air temperature) will always show in
the lower display.
Target Superheat Mode
Perform a simple Target Superheat
test to determine what the superheat
should be on a fixed restrictor system.
Use the target superheat to compare
to the actual superheat to determine
if a system is properly charged.
1. Press TSH/TEET/NORM button until TSH is displayed
in the lower left of the LCD.
2. Take a wet bulb measurement at the inlet of the
evaporator. Generally right before the filter is a
good location. Drill or punch a 3/8" hole into the
return plenum for a measurment depth of up to
24 inches. See Figure 1 for recommended return
plenum placement of probe. Insert SRH3 probe into
the plenum to take the wet bulb measurement.
Press ENTER to lock in the reading.
3. Take a dry bulb (air temperature) measurement
going into the condensor. Press ENTER to lock in
the reading.
4. Press OUTPUT to calculate the target superheat.
Compare the target superheat to the actual
superheat of the system.
5. Seal any holes before leaving the jobsite.
Target Evaporator Exit
Temperature Mode
Target Evaporator Exit Temperature
(TEET), aka temperature drop or
delta T, is used to determine if the
evaporator is getting the optimum
airflow. A TEET test can be quickly
performed by taking two easy
temperature measurements at the
return side of the evaporator.
1. Press the TSH/TEET/NORM button until TEET is
displayed in the lower left of the LCD.
2. Take a wet bulb measurement inside the return
plenum. Drill or punch a 3/8" hole into the return
plenum. See Figure 1 for recommended return
plenum placement of probe. Insert SRH3 probe into
the plenum to take the wet bulb measurement.
Press ENTER to lock in the reading.
3. Take a dry bulb measurement at the same place the
previous wet bulb measurement was taken. Press
ENTER to lock in the reading.
4. Press OUTPUT to calculate the target evaporator exit
temperature. Compare this calculated target to the
actual evaporator exit temperature.
5. Take a dry bulb measurement inside the supply
plenum to check the actual Evaporator Exit
Temperature. See Figure 1 for recommended supply
plenum placement of probe. Drill or punch a 3/8"
hole into the supply plenum. Press TSH/TEET/NORM
until NORM is displayed.Insert SRH3 probe into
the plenum and read the temperature in the lower
display.
6. Seal any holes before leaving the jobsite.
Note: For both Target Superheat and Target Evaporator
Exit Temperature modes, you can adjust any
temperature measurement after calculations have
been performed by pressing ENTER. This prompts
you to re-take the measurements.
RCONE1 Probe Lock
Use the RCONE1 to lock your sensor
probe in place inside the duct. Using
the RCONE1 and magnet on the SRH3
allows you hands-free in-duct testing.
