Testo 0560 8312 830-T1 IR-thermometer handleiding

1. Inleiding

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of the Testo 0560 8312 830-T1 IR Thermometer. This device is designed for non-contact measurement of surface temperatures in various industrial and trade applications. It features 12:1 optics and a dual laser for precise targeting, allowing for accurate temperature readings even on smaller objects from a safe distance.

2. Veiligheidsinformatie

Please read this section carefully before operating the device to ensure safe and proper use.

• Do not point the laser directly into eyes or at other people.
• Gebruik het apparaat niet in explosieve atmosferen.
• Protect the device from extreme temperatures, impacts, and strong vibrations.
• Houd het apparaat schoon en droog.
• Gebruik het apparaat uitsluitend voor het beoogde doel zoals beschreven in deze handleiding.
• Reparaties mogen alleen worden uitgevoerd door bevoegd personeel.

3.1 Componenten

• Infrarood sensor: Located at the front of the device, used for non-contact temperature measurement.
• Dubbele laserpointers: Two laser dots indicate the measurement spot size.
• Weergave: Shows temperature readings, measurement units, battery status, and other indicators.
• Meettrigger: Activeert de meting en de laser.
• Bedieningsknoppen: For navigating menus, adjusting settings (e.g., emissivity, units), and accessing functions like MIN/MAX.
• Batterijcompartiment: Located in the handle for battery installation.

4. Instellen

4.1 Batterij installatie

1. Zoek het batterijklepje op het handvat van de thermometer.
2. Open het deksel.
3. Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). The device requires 2 AAA batteries, which are included.
4. Sluit het batterijklepje goed.

4.2 Eerste inschakeling en apparaatselectie

Upon first use or after battery replacement, the device will power on. You may need to select your preferred temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit).

• To change units: Typically, this involves pressing and holding a specific button (often the 'Mode' or 'Set' button, or an arrow button) while the device is off, then powering it on, or accessing a menu option. Refer to the on-screen prompts or the official Testo documentation for the exact procedure for your specific device firmware, as methods can vary.

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

5.1 Een meting uitvoeren

1. Richt de infraroodsensor op het object dat u wilt bezichtigen.
2. Press and hold the measurement trigger. The dual laser pointers will activate, indicating the measurement spot.
3. De temperatuurmeting wordt op het display weergegeven.
4. Release the trigger to hold the last measured value (HOLD function).

5.2 Understanding 12:1 Optics and Dual Laser

The 12:1 optics mean that at a distance of 12 inches, the measurement spot diameter is 1 inch. The dual laser pointers converge at the center of this measurement spot, helping you accurately identify the area being measured. This is particularly useful for measuring smaller objects or from a greater distance.

5.3 MIN/MAX-functie

The device can display the minimum and maximum temperatures recorded during a continuous measurement. This function is useful for monitoring temperature fluctuations over a period.

• To activate MIN/MAX: Press the appropriate button (refer to your device's specific button layout, often an arrow or 'Mode' button) while taking a measurement. The display will cycle through current, minimum, and maximum values.

5.4 Emissiviteitsaanpassing

Emissivity is a measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy. Different materials have different emissivities. For accurate readings, adjust the emissivity setting on your thermometer to match the material being measured. Common emissivity values:

• 0.95 (default for many devices): Most organic materials, painted surfaces, water, plastic.
• 0.85-0.90: Concrete, brick, rough wood.
• 0.60-0.70: Polished metals (can vary significantly).

Consult an emissivity table for specific materials. Incorrect emissivity settings will lead to inaccurate temperature readings.

6. Onderhoud

6.1 Reinigen

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, keep the device clean.

• Wipe the device exterior with a clean, damp doek. Gebruik geen schurende reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.
• Carefully clean the infrared lens with a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens cleaning wipe. Avoid scratching the lens.

6.2 Batterij vervangen

When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the batteries promptly to avoid interruption of operation. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.

6.3 Opslag

Store the thermometer in a dry, dust-free environment within the recommended temperature range (refer to specifications). If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your Testo 830-T1, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Apparaat gaat niet aan:
  • Controleer of de batterijen correct zijn geplaatst en of de polariteit in de juiste richting zit.
  • Vervang de batterijen door nieuwe.
• Onjuiste metingen:
  • Ensure the infrared lens is clean.
  • Controleer of de emissie-instelling overeenkomt met het doelmateriaal.
  • Ensure the measurement distance is appropriate for the target size (12:1 optics).
  • Avoid measuring through glass or highly reflective surfaces.
• Laser niet zichtbaar:
  • Controleer het batterijniveau.
  • Ensure the measurement trigger is pressed.

If problems persist, contact Testo customer support for assistance.
