MusiCONTROL
– Thermo-hygrometer
The electronic thermo-hygrometer MusiCONTROL is ideal to measure the ambient
climate, so as to allow instruments to be stored in optimum conditions.
Storage of musical instruments:
• Instruments that are entirely or partially made of wood are hygroscopic, i.e. they react to
humidity.
• If the humidity is high the wood absorbs moisture and swells. If the surrounding air is
too dry, moisture is drawn out of the wood. The result is that the musical instruments are
bent out of shape, the varnish is damaged, cracks caused by dryness appear and the
sound is affected. Serious damage involving costly repairs may also occur.
• A relative humidity of 45-65 % should be maintained for the optimum storage of musical
instruments in order to preserve their value and their sound. It is particularly critical if
the humidity falls to below 40 % or exceeds 75 %. The ideal humidity is 50-55 %.
• The temperature should also be as constant as possible; strong and rapid fluctuations
are to be avoided. The ideal storage temperature is 10-20 °C.
Tips:
• Always store instrument in case or cover
• Do not hang instrument on the wall (fluctuating climate, dust, risk of mechanical damage)
• Best stored in moderately heated rooms (e.g. bedroom)
• Avoid severe temperature fluctuations
• In summer never leave instruments in car
• Avoid direct sunlight (even if stored in case)
• Do not place near radiators or underfloor heating
• If the room air is too dry, particularly in wintertime, then electrical air humidifiers are rec-
ommended.
Operation:
Startup:
• Lightly push the silver battery lid on the front down and open the battery compartment.
Remove the battery safety strip. Close the battery compartment again.
• Remove the protective foil from the display. The unit is now ready to use.
Display:
• The left row shows the indoor relative humidity and the right row the room temperature.
The temperature unit can be changed from °C to °F by the °C/°F-button at the backside.
Humidity alarm:
• If the humidity is between 45 % and 65 %, a clef appears on the display as an indicator
of ideal storage conditions. If the humidity falls to below 45 % or rises above 65 % the
treble clef starts to flash. If levels are below 40 % or above 75 %, the note key disappears
and the red light flashes.
• The warning signal can be switched on and off with the slide switch on the back.
MIN / MAX temperatures:
• Press the MIN / MAX button and the highest temperature and humidity is displayed since
the last reset.

MusiCONTROL
– Thermo-hygrometer
• Press the MIN / MAX button again, the display shows the lowest temperature and humid-
ity since the last reset.
• To go back to the present values, press the MIN / MAX button once more.
• Press the RESET button, while the maximum and minimum values are displayed to clear
the recorded maximum and minimum readings and the actual values appear.
Placing or hanging up the unit:
• A circular opening is provided on the backside of the unit for hanging on the wall. To
place the unit in the standing position use the stand supplied with the unit.
• Since the humidity in rooms can vary greatly depending on the part of the room, place
the monitoring device as close as possible to the music instrument.
Care and maintenance
• Clean your instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents
• Remove the batteries if you do not use it for a long period of time
• Keep the instrument in a dry place.
Battery replacement
• Remove the stand if necessary. Lightly push the silver battery lid on the front down and
open the battery compartment. Replace the batteries (2 x 1.5 V AA). Do not use
rechargeable batteries. Close the battery compartment again.
