2. Informació de seguretat

Please read and understand all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this instrument. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the device.

• PRECAUCIÓ: Aquest dispositiu és NOT FOR HUMAN temperature measurement. It is designed for industrial applications only.
• Do not point the laser directly at eyes or indirectly off reflective surfaces. Laser radiation can cause eye damage.
• No utilitzeu el termòmetre a prop de gasos explosius, vapor o pols.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• No intenteu desmuntar ni modificar l'instrument. Encarregueu tot el manteniment a personal qualificat.
• Mantingueu el dispositiu fora de l'abast dels nens.

4. Configuració

4.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

1. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de les piles al mànec del termòmetre.
2. Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
3. Insert two 1.5V AA batteries (or No.7 batteries) according to the polarity indicators (+ and -) inside the compartment.
4. Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.

4.2 Encès inicial

After installing the batteries, press the trigger to power on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, showing the current temperature and other indicators.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Prendre una mesura

1. Point the thermometer at the target surface. Ensure the target is larger than the spot size indicated by the D:S ratio (see Section 5.2).
2. Press and hold the trigger. The laser pointer(s) will activate, indicating the measurement area.
3. The measured temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen within 0.25 seconds.
4. Release the trigger to hold the reading on the display. The device will automatically shut down after approximately 7 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery.

5.2 Relació distància-punt (D:S)

The IR-950 has a Distance to Spot Ratio (D:S) of 12:1. This means that at a distance of 12 units from the target, the measurement spot diameter will be 1 unit. For accurate readings, ensure the target area is completely within the measurement spot. Measuring closer to the target will result in a smaller spot size and more precise measurement of a specific area.

5.3 Emissivitat ajustable

Emissivity (ε) is a measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. The IR-950 allows you to adjust the emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 (preset to 0.95) to ensure accurate readings for various surfaces. Consult an emissivity table for common materials or adjust empirically for best results.

• Premeu el botó MODE button to cycle through settings until 'Emissivity' is displayed.
• Utilitza el Amunt/Avall buttons (often combined with laser/backlight buttons) to adjust the value.
• Premeu MODE de nou per confirmar i sortir.

5.4 MAX/MIN Display

The thermometer can display the maximum (MAX) or minimum (MIN) temperature recorded during a continuous measurement session. This feature is useful for monitoring temperature fluctuations.

• While holding the trigger, press the MODE button to cycle through display modes (e.g., current, MAX, MIN).
• The corresponding value will be shown on the display.

5.5 Unit Conversion (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature units:

• With the device powered on, press the dedicated °C/°F button, or cycle through the MODE button until the unit option appears, then use the Amunt/Avall botons per seleccionar.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

• The lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth or cotton swab. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clean the instrument casing amb anunciamp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse the device in water.

6.2 Emmagatzematge

• Guardeu el termòmetre en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
• Traieu les piles si no heu d'utilitzar el dispositiu durant un període prolongat per evitar fuites.
