2 Introduction

The PCE-EM 888 climate meter enables the user to measure the most important environmental

conditions. Due to its dimensions and its low weight, this environmental tester is like a portable

weather station and can be used in any place. You only need to press a single key to view all

weather information in numerical terms. This makes the PCE-EM 888 ideal for construction

workers, field staff, engineers / technicians, sailors, pilots, farmers and lots of other persons who

have to rely on the weather or whose work is substantially influenced by the weather.

turn off the instrument.

6 Measuring Functions

The meter has these 7 functions:

Display indication

Measuring function

Air flow and temperature

AirFL

Volume flow

bAr

Absolute air pressure

K-type thermometer

LIgHt

Light

Humidity/Temp.

Dew point

In order to change the measuring function, press the function key until the right function is

displayed.

Note: If the measured value is held („HOLD“ icon in the display) or MAX/MIN recording has

been started (“REC” icon in the display), the measuring function cannot be switched.

6.1 Air flow measurement and temperature

During the airflow measurement, you can also read out the current temperature in the display.

The temperature will be shown in the bottom left-hand part of the display.

Now press the Unit/Zero Button to switch the airflow units. In order to change the temperature,

press the Temp./Lux Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd).

6.2 Volume flow measurement

For volume flow measurement, you can select the unit “CMM” for cubic meters or “CFM” for

cubic feet per minute. Press the "Unit/Zero Button" to switch the volume flow unit.

6.2.1 Set measuring area for volume flow

To set the measuring area for the volume flow, first select the desired unit. The press the

Temp./Lux Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd). The display will show “m-2” for square metres and “f-2” for

square feet. Now set the area. The Unit/Zero Button is used to get to the next digit and the

Temp./Lux Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd) and the Function/▼ Button are used to increase and

decrease the value respectively. To confirm the set value, push the MIN/MAX Button. The

measurement will start after a few minutes.

Note: It is not possible to enter round measuring areas.

6.3 Barometric pressure measurement (abs. pressure)

To change the unit for the air pressure measurement, press the Unit/Zero Button. You can select

HPA, inHP or mmHP.

6.4 K-type thermocouple

First plug a K-type thermocouple into the socket of the device. The temperature value will be

displayed immediately. To change the temperature unit, push the Temp./Lux Button

(℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd).

6.5 Light measurement

When you make a light measurement, the display will turn by 180 °. Turn the device by 180 ° as

well to make sure the light sensor lies bare and you can read out the measurement values. Press

the Temp./Lux Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd) to select measuring unit "Lux" or "Ft-cd".

6.5.1 Zero point of the light sensor

When the environmental temperature or the battery capacity changes, the zero point of the light

sensor can drift. To get the most accurate measurement results, it is recommended to zero the

device regularly. To do so, cover the sensor so that it is no longer exposed to any light. Then

press the Unit/Zero Button to zero the device. Zeroing is only possible if the indicated value is

below 20 lux.

6.6 Humidity and ambient temperature

While measuring the current air humidity, you can also read out the current ambient temperature.

To change the temperature unit, press the Temp./Lux Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd).

6.7 Dew point measurement

When making a dew point measurement, you can change the unit by pressing the Temp./Lux

Button (℃/℉/▲/Lux/Ft-cd).

7 Hold function

Whenever you press the Hold Button, the current reading will freeze and a "HOLD" symbol will

appear on the display. Press the Hold Button again to unfreeze the value and proceed with your

ongoing measurement.

8 MAX/MIN data recording

Recording can be started by pressing the MIN/MAX Button. “REC” will appear in the display. Only

the lowest and the highest value will be saved when using this function. All other values will be

dropped. Press the MIN/MAX Button to view the saved values. Press the Hold Button to start

recording again. To get back to normal measurement mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN Button

for three seconds.

9 Auto Power Off

In order to prolong the battery life, the instrument has an "Auto Power Off" function. The meter

will switch off automatically if no buttons are pressed for around 10 minutes. When data are

recorded or a value has been held, this function will be disabled.

10 Battery level indicator

When the LCD display shows the symbol, it is necessary to replace the 9 V block battery.

Measurement may still be made for several hours after the low battery indicator appears.

However, faulty measurements can occur then.

To change the battery, open the battery compartment cover on the rear side of the meter. To

loosen the screw, you will need a screwdriver. Remove the old battery and replace it by a new

one. Observe correct polarity and re-install the battery compartment cover.

11 Warranty

You can read our warranty terms in our General Business Terms which you can find here:

https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/terms.

12 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament

applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.

They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use

them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with

your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
