5.2 Pornire/Oprire
- To turn the meter ON, press the green Power button (●).
- To turn the meter OFF, press the green Power button (●) din nou.
- The meter features an automatic shutdown function after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
6. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
6.1 Luarea unei măsurători
- Ensure batteries are installed and the meter is powered ON.
- Remove the protective cap from the UV sensor.
- Zeroing the Meter: In an area with no UV light (e.g., in a dark room or with the sensor completely covered), press the ZERO button. The display should show "0" or a value very close to zero. This step ensures accuracy.
- Position the UV sensor towards the UV source or area you wish to measure.
- Read the UV radiation value displayed on the LCD screen. The measurement updates approximately every 3 seconds.
6.2 Schimbarea unităților de măsură
The TM-213 can display readings in microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm²) or milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²).
- Apăsați tasta UNITATE button to toggle between uW/cm² and mW/cm².
- Note that 1000 uW/cm² is equivalent to 1 mW/cm².
6.3 Funcția de păstrare a datelor
Pentru a îngheța citirea curentă pe afișaj:
- Apăsați tasta ȚINE button during a measurement. The reading will be frozen.
- Apăsați tasta ȚINE Apăsați din nou butonul pentru a elibera citirea și a relua măsurarea în timp real.
7. Întreținere
7.1 Curățare
- Ștergeți suprafața contoruluiasing cu un d moaleamp pânză. Nu utilizați agenți de curățare abrazivi sau solvenți.
