5.2 Вклучување/исклучување
- To turn the meter ON, press the green Power button (●).
- To turn the meter OFF, press the green Power button (●) повторно.
- The meter features an automatic shutdown function after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
6. Упатства за работа
6.1 Преземање на мерење
- 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 НУЛА 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 Промена на мерните единици
The TM-213 can display readings in microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm²) or milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²).
- Притиснете го ЕДИНИЦА button to toggle between uW/cm² and mW/cm².
- Note that 1000 uW/cm² is equivalent to 1 mW/cm².
6.3 Функција за задржување податоци
За да го замрзнете тековното отчитување на екранот:
- Притиснете го ДРЖИ button during a measurement. The reading will be frozen.
- Притиснете го ДРЖИ повторно притиснете го копчето за да го ослободите отчитувањето и да продолжите со мерењето во живо.
7. Одржување
7.1 Чистење
- Избришете го клокотот на мерачотasing со мек, damp крпа. Не користете абразивни средства за чистење или растворувачи.
- Keep the UV sensor clean and free of dust or debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the sensor surface.
7.2 Складирање
- When not in use, always place the protective cap over the UV sensor.
- Store the meter in its carrying case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Доколку складирате подолг временски период, извадете ги батериите за да спречите протекување.
- Да се чува на ладно и суво место подалеку од директна сончева светлина и екстремни температури.
