4. Configuració
4.1 Instal·lació de la bateria
- Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del mesurador.
- Slide or unscrew the cover to open.
- Insert one 9V battery, ensuring the correct positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align with the markings inside the compartment.
- Col·loqueu la coberta del compartiment de la bateria amb seguretat.
4.2 Engegada inicial
Press the power button (usually marked with an 'I' or power symbol) to turn on the device. The display will light up, and the meter will perform a self-test before entering measurement mode.
5. Funcionament
5.1 Mesura bàsica
- Turn on the meter using the power button.
- Hold the meter with the spherical sensor pointed towards the area or source you wish to measure.
- The display will show real-time radiation levels.
5.2 Selecció d'unitats
Press the "UNIT" button to cycle through available measurement units: mV/m, V/m, µA/m, mA/m, µW/m², mW/m², µW/cm².
5.3 Max/AVG Hold Function
Press the "MAX/AVG" button to switch between instantaneous, maximum (MAX), and average (AVG) measurement display modes. This allows you to capture peak readings or observe average exposure over time.
5.4 Funció d'alarma
The meter features an adjustable alarm threshold. To set or activate the alarm:
- Premeu el botó "SET" per entrar al mode de configuració de l'alarma.
- Use the navigation buttons (if available, or repeated presses of SET/UNIT) to adjust the alarm threshold value.
- Confirm the setting. When the measured radiation exceeds this threshold, an audible alarm will sound.
- Press the "ALARM ON/OFF" button to toggle the alarm function.
5.5 Tri-Axis Measurement
The spherical sensor is designed for isotropic (tri-axis) measurement, meaning it detects radiation from all directions (X, Y, and Z axes) simultaneously, providing a comprehensive reading regardless of the meter's orientation.
