1. Introducere
The Sper Scientific Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) Heat Stress Meter, Model 801038, is a professional-grade instrument designed to accurately measure and monitor heat stress conditions. This device is crucial for assessing environmental factors that contribute to heat-related illnesses in various settings, including workplaces, sports activities, and general environmental monitoring. It provides a clear, color-coded WBGT value on a large LCD display, simplifying the interpretation of OSHA WBGT guidelines.

5. Configurare
5.1 Instalarea bateriei
The meter requires 4 AAA batteries (included).
- Localizați capacul compartimentului bateriei pe spatele dispozitivului.
- Glisați sau desfaceți capacul pentru a-l deschide.
- Introduceți 4 baterii AAA, asigurându-vă că polaritatea este corectă (+/-), așa cum este indicată în interiorul compartimentului.
- Puneți bine capacul compartimentului bateriei.
5.2 Pornirea inițială
Apăsați tasta PUTERE button to turn on the meter. The LCD display will illuminate and begin showing readings.
6. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
6.1 Preluarea măsurătorilor
Once powered on, the meter automatically begins measuring. Ensure the black globe and sensors are exposed to the environment you wish to monitor.
6.2 Afișează informații

Figure 3: Comprehensive data display showing Globe Temperature, Ambient Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, and WBGT value.
The large LCD screen simultaneously displays:
- WBGT Value: The primary heat stress index.
- Air Temperature (TA): The ambient air temperature.
- Globe Temperature (TG): The temperature measured by the black globe, indicating radiant heat.
- Umiditate relativă (RH): The amount of moisture in the air.
6.3 Selecting Indoor/Outdoor Mode
Apăsați tasta IN/OUT button to switch between indoor and outdoor WBGT calculation modes. The display will indicate the selected mode (IN or OUT). This is important as the WBGT calculation formula differs for indoor and outdoor environments.
6.4 Utilizarea funcției HOLD
Apăsați tasta ȚINE button to freeze the current readings on the display. Press it again to resume live measurements.
6.5 Minimum/Maximum Readings
Apăsați tasta MIN/MAX/ESC button to cycle through minimum and maximum recorded values for each parameter since the device was last reset or powered on.
7. Understanding WBGT and Color-Coded Alerts
The WBGT meter translates OSHA guidelines into a simple, color-coded alert system to indicate heat stress risk levels.

Figure 4: Color-coded WBGT alert levels and associated precautions.
| Gama WBGT | Culoare ecran | Workforce Precautions |
|---|---|---|
| < 80.0°F / < 26.6°C | Gri | Basic heat safety training and planning. |
| 80.1 până la 84.9 °F / 26.7 până la 29.3 °C | Verde | Implement precautions and heighten awareness. |
| 85.0 până la 87.9 °F / 29.4 până la 31.0 °C | Portocale | Additional precautions are necessary to protect workers. |
| 88.0 până la 89.9 °F / 31.1 până la 32.1 °C | Roşu | Analysis of activity level is necessary to protect workers. |
| > 90.0°F / > 32.2°C | Roșu intermitent | Triggers even more aggressive protective measures. |
The meter also features an optional audible alarm that activates when heat stress levels reach dangerous thresholds, providing an immediate alert in high-risk environments.

8. Întreținere
8.1 Curățare
Ștergeți exteriorul contorului cu o lavetă moale șiamp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the sensor areas or battery compartment.
8.2 Depozitare
When not in use, store the meter in its protective sleeve in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.

Figure 6: The meter is durable and portable, suitable for handheld use or tripod mounting.
9. Depanare
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Contorul nu pornește. | Baterii descărcate sau instalate incorect. | Verificați polaritatea bateriilor. Înlocuiți-le cu baterii AAA noi. |
| Citiri inexacte. | Sensors are obstructed or dirty. Meter not stabilized. | Ensure sensors are clean and unobstructed. Allow meter to stabilize in the environment for a few minutes before taking readings. |
| Afișajul este întunecat sau pâlpâie. | Putere scăzută a bateriei. | Înlocuiți toate cele 4 baterii AAA. |
| Audible alarm not sounding. | Alarm function is disabled or volume is too low. | Check settings via the SET button to ensure the alarm is enabled and set to an audible level. |
