  USING PLANET WAVES SENSORS
  
Greetings!

Humidity and Temperature Sensor

The Planet Waves Humidity & Temperature Sensor provides you with key information you need to help maintain proper climatic conditions to avoid instrument damage. It indicates accurate humidity levels. Temperature is displayed in both Farenheit or Centigrade. A programmable set point monitors the minimum humidity desired. When humidity is below the set point, an icon will indicate it is necessary to use a humidifier. It records the lowest temperature and humidity levels your instrument has been exposed to, as well as the date and time of that high and low, since the last reset. Small enough to fit in most cases at 4" x 2.75"

When you reach the humidity set point field, select the lowest humidity value than you are comfortable with. We suggest 50% or more. Once you have set each field hold the program button for 3 seconds to exit the program mode.
Place the sensor in your instrument case and monitor it daily. If the humidity is to low in the case use a humidifier. Fill your humidifier with distilled water to help prevent excessive tarnish on silver plated keys.
To display the lowest temperature and humidity readings, first press and hold the UP Button and then the Memory Button. The lowest temperature and  humidity will be displayed along with the time and date it occurred. This can be very helpful to know exactly what climatic conditions your instrument was exposed to and the date and time it occurred.
To reset the lowest readings press the Memory and Program Buttons at the same time. The screen will flash twice to indicate the reset has taken place.

This time of year it is very important to monitor your humidity levels inside your instrument case. This is the best way to do so.
