5.2 Changing Temperature Units (°F/°C)

Gwasgwch y °F/UP button to switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature units.

5.3 Mode Selection (MAX/MIN/AVG/DIF)

Gwasgwch y MODD botwm i gylchu trwy wahanol ddulliau mesur:

  • MAX: Displays the maximum temperature measured during a scan.
  • MIN: Displays the minimum temperature measured during a scan.
  • AVG: Displays the average temperature measured during a scan.
  • DIF: Displays the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures measured.

5.4 Addasiad Allyrredd

Emissivity (ε) is a measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. For accurate readings, adjust the emissivity setting to match the material being measured.

  1. In measurement mode, long press the MODD button to enter emissivity adjustment.
  2. Defnyddiwch y °F/UP a °C/DN buttons to adjust the emissivity value (0.1 to 1.0).
  3. Gwasgwch MODD eto i gadarnhau ac ymadael.

5.5 Laser Pointer and Flashlight Control

  • Gwasgwch y Laser Pointer button (leftmost button below screen) to turn the laser pointers ON or OFF.
  • Gwasgwch y Backlight / botwm Flashlight (second from left below screen) to turn the backlight ON or OFF.
  • Gwasgwch y Backlight / botwm Flashlight a'r Sbardun simultaneously to turn the front flashlight ON or OFF.

5.6 Larwm Tymheredd Uchel / Isel

The device can be set to alert you when the measured temperature exceeds or falls below a set threshold.

  1. Pwyswch yn hir y MODD button until "HAL" (High Alarm) or "LAL" (Low Alarm) appears.
  2. Defnyddiwch y °F/UP a °C/DN buttons to set the desired high or low temperature threshold.
  3. Gwasgwch MODD to switch between HAL and LAL settings.
  4. Gwasgwch MODD eto i gadarnhau ac ymadael.
  5. When the measured temperature exceeds HAL or falls below LAL, the alarm will flash on the screen.

7. Cynnal a Chadw a Gofal

  • Glanhau: Sychwch y ddyfais yn lân gyda lliain meddal, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the lens is clean for accurate readings.
  • Amnewid Batri: When the low power indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery promptly. Refer to Section 4.1 for battery installation instructions. It is recommended to remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several months) to prevent battery drain and potential leakage.
  • Storio: Store the thermometer in its protective carrying case when not in use. Keep it in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
  • Osgoi diferion: While durable, avoid dropping the device to prevent damage to internal components or the sensitive infrared lens.

8. Datrys Problemau

ProblemAteb
Nid yw'r ddyfais yn pweru ymlaen.Check if the 9V battery is installed correctly with proper polarity. Replace the battery if it is depleted. Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed.
Darlleniadau tymheredd anghywir.
  • Verify the emissivity setting matches the material being measured (refer to Section 5.4).
  • Ensure the infrared lens is clean and free from dust or debris.
  • Confirm you are within the optimal distance for the 50:1 D:S ratio.
  • Avoid measuring through glass or other transparent surfaces, as this can lead to inaccurate readings.
  • Remember that this device is not for human or animal temperature measurement.
Mae'r arddangosfa'n dywyll neu'n anodd ei darllen.Activate the backlight by pressing the Backlight/Flashlight button. In direct sunlight, the LCD may still be challenging to read; try to shade the screen.
Laser pointer is not working.Press the Laser Pointer button to activate it. If it still doesn't work, check battery level.
Readings above 999°F appear truncated (e.g., 112 instead of 1120).For readings above 999°F, the display may show only the last three digits. In such cases, mentally add a zero to the end of the displayed number (e.g., 112 displayed means 1120°F). This is a known characteristic for some high-temperature infrared thermometers.
