1. Introduktion
The Extech Instruments HW30 HeatWatch is a multi-function stopwatch designed to provide essential environmental data alongside precise timing capabilities. This device displays digital up/down timer functions, current temperature, humidity, and calculates the heat index, which indicates how hot it feels when humidity is combined with the actual temperature. It is an ideal tool for monitoring conditions in various environments, particularly those with hot weather. Additional features include a 12/24-hour clock, a standard stopwatch, 30 lap/split memory, and a programmable alarm.

6. Betjeningsvejledning
This section details the various functions and modes of the HW30 HeatWatch.
Figure 6.1: The HW30 HeatWatch being held, demonstrating its portable and ergonomic design for active use.
6.1. Grundlæggende betjening og valg af tilstand
Tryk på MODE knappen for at skifte mellem følgende visningstilstande:
- Tidstilstand: Viser det aktuelle klokkeslæt (12- eller 24-timers format).
- Stopurstilstand: For timing events, including lap/split functions.
- Humidity/Temperature/Heat Index Mode: Shows environmental readings.
- Alarmtilstand: For setting and activating the programmable alarm.
6.2. Indstilling af tid og dato
- I tidstilstand skal du trykke på og holde MODE knappen, indtil tidscifrene begynder at blinke.
- Brug START/STOP knappen til at justere det blinkende ciffer (timer, minutter, sekunder).
- Tryk på OMGANG/MELLEM/NULSTIL button to move to the next digit or setting (e.g., 12/24-hour format, date).
- Når alle indstillinger er konfigureret, skal du trykke på MODE button to exit setup.
6.3. Using the Stopwatch Functions
- Switch to Stopwatch Mode using the MODE knap.
- Trykke START/STOP for at begynde timingen.
- Trykke OMGANG/MELLEM/NULSTIL to record a lap or split time. The display will momentarily show the recorded time while the stopwatch continues to run in the background.
- Trykke START/STOP igen for at sætte stopuret på pause.
- Tryk på for at genoptage START/STOP. Tryk på for at nulstille OMGANG/MELLEM/NULSTIL mens stopuret er på pause.
- To recall stored lap/split times, press the MINDE OM button in Stopwatch Mode. Use OMGANG/MELLEM/NULSTIL to scroll through memory.
6.4. Humidity, Temperature, and Heat Index Measurement
The HW30 automatically measures and displays humidity, temperature, and calculates the heat index in the dedicated mode.
- Switch to Humidity/Temperature/Heat Index Mode using the MODE knap.
- The display will show the current humidity percentage, temperature (in °F or °C), and the calculated heat index.
- Allow a few minutes for the sensors to stabilize and provide accurate readings, especially when moving the device between environments with different conditions.
6.5. Indstilling af alarmen
- Switch to Alarm Mode using the MODE knap.
- Tryk og hold på MODE knappen, indtil alarmtidscifrene begynder at blinke.
- Brug START/STOP button to adjust the flashing digit (hours, minutes).
- Tryk på OMGANG/MELLEM/NULSTIL button to move between hours and minutes.
- Når det ønskede alarmtidspunkt er indstillet, skal du trykke på MODE knappen for at bekræfte.
- For at aktivere eller deaktivere alarmen skal du trykke på START/STOP button in Alarm Mode. An alarm icon will appear on the display when activated.
