4. Configuració
4.1 Infrared Thermometer Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the handle of the infrared thermometer.
- Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
- Introduïu dues piles AAA, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-).
- Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
4.2 Termòmetre de carn

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Using the Infrared Thermometer
- Encès: Press the trigger to turn on the device. The display will light up.
- Select Unit (°C/°F): Press the '°C/°F' button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Objectiu i mesura: Point the laser at the target surface. Press and hold the trigger. The laser dot indicates the center of the measurement area. The temperature will be displayed instantly.
- Relació distància a punt: The device has a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio. This means that at a distance of 12 inches, the measurement spot diameter is 1 inch. For accurate readings, ensure the target area is larger than the spot size.
- Conservació de dades: Release the trigger to hold the current reading on the display. The 'HOLD' icon will appear.
- Apagat automàtic: The device will automatically turn off after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity to save battery.

5.2 Ajust d'emissivitat
Emissivity (EMS) is the ability of a material to emit thermal energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. For accurate measurements, adjust the emissivity setting to match the target material.
- With the device on, press the 'MODE' button until 'EMS' appears on the display.
- Use the 'Laser (Decrease)' and '°C/°F (Increase)' buttons to adjust the emissivity value between 0.1 and 1.0.
- Press the 'MODE' button again to confirm and exit emissivity adjustment.
Common Emissivity Values:
| Material | Emissivitat |
|---|---|
| Aigua | 0.92-0.96 |
| Fusta | 0.90 |
| Superfícies pintades | 0.93-0.96 |
| formigó | 0.94 |
| Gel | 0.97 |
| Shiny Metals | 0.05-0.20 |

5.3 Max/Min Modes
The device can display the maximum or minimum temperature detected during a continuous scan.
- With the device on, press the 'MODE' button repeatedly until 'MAX' or 'MIN' appears on the display.
- While holding the trigger, the display will show the maximum or minimum temperature recorded during that scan.
