Unit Conversion (°F/°C)

Celsius (°C) eta Fahrenheit (°F) artean aldatzeko, sakatu °C/DN or °F/UP button while the device is on.

Mode Selection and Emissivity Adjustment

Sakatu MODUA button to cycle through various functions:

  • MAX: Displays the maximum temperature recorded during a scan.
  • MIN: Displays the minimum temperature recorded during a scan.
  • Batez bestekoa: Displays the average temperature recorded during a scan.
  • DIF: Tenperatura maximoen eta minimoen arteko aldea erakusten du.
  • LAL (Alarma Baxua): Set a low temperature alarm. The device will flash if the measured temperature falls below this value.
  • HAL (Alarma Handia): Set a high temperature alarm. The device will flash if the measured temperature exceeds this value.
  • Emissivity (E): Adjust the emissivity setting (0.1 to 1.0) to match the surface being measured for improved accuracy. Consult a reference table for common material emissivities.

To adjust values (e.g., alarm thresholds or emissivity), use the °F/UP eta °C/DN buttons after selecting the desired mode with the MODUA botoia.

Laser Pointer and Flashlight

  • Sakatu Laser Pointer Button to turn the laser on or off. The BT-1800 features dual laser pointers for precise targeting.
  • Sakatu Backlit Screen/Flashlight Button to activate the screen backlight or the integrated flashlight for use in dark environments.

Distantzia eta puntu arteko erlazioa (D:S)

The BT-1800 has a Distance to Spot (D:S) ratio of 50:1. This means that at a distance of 50 units from the target, the measurement spot diameter will be 1 unit. A higher D:S ratio allows for accurate temperature measurement from a greater distance, which is crucial for high-temperature applications.

Itzali automatikoa

The device features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life. It will power off after a period of inactivity.

Mantentzea

  • Garbiketa: Gailua garbitzeko, garbitu leun batekin, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is clean for accurate readings.
  • Bateria ordezkatzea: Replace the 9V battery when the low power indicator appears on the display. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.
  • Biltegiratzea: Gorde termometroa leku fresko eta lehor batean erabiltzen ez duzunean.
