Configuració
1. Instal·lació de la bateria
The Benetech GM321 requires two AAA batteries (included). To install the batteries:
- Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de les piles al mànec del termòmetre.
- Gently pull down the battery cover to open the compartment.
- Introduïu dues piles AAA, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-) tal com s'indica a l'interior del compartiment.
- Tanqueu la tapa de la bateria de manera segura fins que encaixi al seu lloc.

Instruccions de funcionament
1. Mesura bàsica de la temperatura
To measure the surface temperature of an object:
- Point the infrared thermometer at the target object.
- Press and hold the trigger. The laser pointer will activate, indicating the measurement area.
- The temperature reading will be displayed instantly on the LCD screen. Release the trigger to hold the reading.

2. Unit Conversion (°C/°F)
Per canviar entre Celsius (°C) i Fahrenheit (°F):
- Amb el dispositiu encès, premeu el botó ° C / ° F button located below the display.
- The unit on the display will change accordingly.
3. Mode Selection (MAX/MIN/Ambient/Emissivity)
The thermometer offers multiple measurement modes. Press the MODE botó per anar passant per tots dos:
- MANTENIR: Data Hold (default after releasing trigger).
- MÀXIM: Displays the maximum temperature recorded during continuous measurement.
- MIN: Displays the minimum temperature recorded during continuous measurement.
- A: Measures the current ambient temperature.
- EMS: Emissivity adjustment mode.
- CAL: Self-calibration mode.

4. Emissivity Adjustment
Emissivity (EMS) is crucial for accurate temperature measurement of different surfaces. The GM321 allows adjustment from 0.1 to 1.0, with a default of 0.95. To adjust emissivity:
- Premeu el botó MODE fins que aparegui "EMS" a la pantalla.
- Utilitzeu el Up (▲) i avall (▼) buttons to adjust the emissivity value.
- Refer to the table below for common material emissivity values.
Figure 6: Emissivity adjustment and common material values.
5. Distance to Spot Ratio (D:S)
The GM321 has a Distance to Spot (D:S) ratio of 12:1. This means that at a distance of 12 inches, the measurement spot size will be 1 inch. To ensure accurate readings, measure from a distance where the target object completely fills the spot size.
Figure 7: Understanding the Distance to Spot Ratio.
Manteniment
1. Neteja
Per netejar el termòmetre, netegeu suaument la superfície amb un drap suauamp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni submergiu el dispositiu en aigua.
2. Substitució de la bateria
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AAA batteries following the installation steps in the Setup section.
Resolució de problemes
1. Lectures inexactes
- Emissivitat: Ensure the emissivity setting is correctly adjusted for the material being measured. Refer to the Emissivity Adjustment section.
- Distància: Maintain the correct distance to spot ratio. Ensure the target completely fills the measurement spot.
- Interferència: Avoid measuring through steam, dust, or highly reflective surfaces. These can significantly affect accuracy.

2. Self-Calibration
The device supports self-calibration between -1.5°C and +1.5°C to fine-tune accuracy. Access the CAL mode via the MODE button and use the Up/Down arrows to adjust.
