2. Información de seguridad

Lea atentamente todas las advertencias e instrucciones de seguridad antes de usar este producto. El incumplimiento de estas instrucciones podría provocar lesiones o daños al dispositivo.

• Seguridad láser: Do not look directly into the laser beam or point it at people or animals. The laser is used for targeting only and should be used with caution.
• Medición sin contacto: This thermometer measures surface temperature. It is not intended for measuring body temperature.
• Seguridad eléctrica: Do not use the device near strong electromagnetic fields. Keep the device dry and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Seguridad de la batería: Use only the specified battery type (2x AAA). Ensure correct polarity when installing batteries. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Mantenimiento: No intente desmontar ni modificar el dispositivo. Encargue cualquier reparación a personal cualificado.

5.2 Encendido / Apagado

To power on the device, simply press the measurement trigger. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

6.1 Realización de una medición

1. Point the thermometer at the target surface. Ensure the laser pointer (if activated) is aimed at the center of the area you wish to measure.
2. Press and hold the measurement trigger. The laser will activate, and the current temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen.
3. Release the trigger to hold the measurement on the display. The 'HOLD' icon will appear.

6.2 Comprensión de la relación distancia-punto (D:S)

The DIT-220 has a Distance-to-Spot ratio of 12:1. This means that as you move further from the target, the area being measured (spot size) increases. For accurate readings, ensure the target area is larger than the spot size. For exampes decir, a una distancia de 12 pulgadas, el punto de medición tendrá 1 pulgada de diámetro.

Figura 5: Visual guide for maintaining correct measurement distance.

6.3 Ajuste de la emisividad

Different materials emit infrared energy differently. The DIT-220 allows you to adjust the emissivity (ε) from 0.10 to 1.00 to compensate for this and achieve more accurate readings. Refer to a standard emissivity table for common materials or adjust empirically.

1. Presione el MODO button to cycle through settings until 'EMS' (Emissivity) is displayed.
2. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the emissivity value.
3. Presione el MODO de nuevo para confirmar y salir.

6.4 Using MAX/MIN/AVG Modes

These modes are useful for monitoring temperature fluctuations over time.

1. While holding the measurement trigger, press the MODO button repeatedly to cycle through MAX (Maximum), MIN (Minimum), and AVG (Average) display modes.
2. The corresponding icon will appear on the screen, showing the respective temperature value recorded during the current measurement session.

6.5 Cambio de unidades de temperatura (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the °C/°F button located on the device.

7. Mantenimiento

7.1 Limpieza

• Limpie la lente con un paño suave yamp Paño o hisopo de algodón. No utilice limpiadores abrasivos ni disolventes.
• Limpie el dispositivo casing con un paño suave y seco.

7.2 Reemplazo de batería

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AAA batteries as described in the Setup section (5.1 Battery Installation).

7.3 Almacenamiento

Guarde el termómetro en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas. Retire las pilas si lo va a guardar durante un tiempo prolongado.
