5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
5.1 In-/uitschakelen
Druk op de POWER/ESC knop om de meter aan te zetten. Houd de knop ingedrukt. POWER/ESC Houd de knop een paar seconden ingedrukt om het apparaat uit te schakelen.
5.2 Selectie van de meetmodus
After powering on, the meter will display the current measurement mode. To switch between UVA and UVC modes, press the dedicated UVA/UVC button (if available) or cycle through modes using the FUNC/HOLD/NEXT button as per the on-screen prompts.
5.3 Bereikselectie
The YK-37UVSD offers two measurement ranges: 2 mW/cm² and 20 mW/cm². The meter typically auto-ranges, but you may be able to manually select a range using the SET button or a combination of buttons as described in the on-screen menu.
5.4 Data Hold-functie
Druk op de UITSTEL knop (vaak gecombineerd met) FUNC/NEXT) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold function.
5.5 Nulaanpassing
For accurate measurements, especially in low light conditions, a zero adjustment may be necessary. With the probe covered or in a dark environment, press the NUL button to calibrate the meter to zero.
5.6 Data Logging (SD Card)
To initiate real-time data logging to the SD card:
- Zorg ervoor dat er een SD-kaart is geplaatst.
- Druk op de HOUTBOUW button. The display will indicate that logging has started.
- To stop logging, press the HOUTBOUW knop opnieuw.
- Data is saved in a format compatible with spreadsheet software for easy analysis.
5.7 Type K Temperature Measurement
The YK-37UVSD also supports Type K thermocouple temperature measurements. Connect a Type K thermocouple probe (sold separately) to the designated input. Use the FUNC/NEXT button to switch to temperature measurement mode.
6. Onderhoud
6.1 Reinigen
Wipe the device and probes with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp Gebruik een doekje met een mild reinigingsmiddel, zorg er wel voor dat er geen vloeistof in het apparaat komt. Gebruik geen schurende reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.
