The BENETECH GS320 Infrared Thermometer is a non-contact device designed for measuring surface temperatures. It provides quick and accurate readings, making it suitable for various applications in cooking, home maintenance, and industrial settings. This manual provides essential information for safe and effective use of your thermometer.

Important: This device measures surface temperature only and is not intended for measuring human body temperature.

2. Caractéristiques

• Facile à utiliser : Simply aim and pull the trigger for continuous temperature scanning. Readings are held when the trigger is released.
• Large plage de température : Measures temperatures between -58°F to 788°F (-50°C to 420°C).
• Haute précision : Achieves an accuracy of ±1.5% (±2.7°F/±1.5°C) with a quick response time of less than 500 milliseconds.
• Safe Non-Contact Measurement: Features a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, allowing accurate readings from a safe distance of up to 4.92 feet.
• Émissivité fixe : Emissivity is fixed at 0.95 for accurate readings on common materials like plastic, painted/coated surfaces, and food.
• Écran LCD rétroéclairé : Easy-to-read display with an option to turn the backlight on or off.
• Commutateur d'unité : Passez facilement du Celsius (°C) au Fahrenheit (°F).
• Maintien de données: Automatically holds the last reading.
• Indicateur de batterie faible : Vous avertit lorsque les piles doivent être remplacées.
• Arrêt automatique : Automatically shuts off after 7 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5. Installation

5.1 Installation de la batterie

1. Repérez le compartiment à piles sur la poignée du thermomètre.
2. Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment à piles.
3. Insérez les deux piles AAA en veillant à respecter la polarité (+/-).
4. Fermez soigneusement le couvercle du compartiment à piles.

6. Mode d'emploi

6.1 Prise de température

1. Pointez le thermomètre vers la surface cible.
2. Pull and hold the trigger to begin continuous scanning. The laser pointer will indicate the measurement area.
3. Release the trigger to hold the last temperature reading on the display.

6.2 Comprendre le rapport distance/surface (D:S)

The GS320 has a D:S ratio of 12:1. This means that from a distance of 12 inches, the measurement spot size will be 1 inch. To ensure accurate readings, position the thermometer at an appropriate distance from the target surface.

6.3 Changement d'unité de température (°C/°F)

Press the '°C/°F' button on the device to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature displays.

Contrôle du rétroéclairage 6.4

Press the backlight button (often indicated by a light bulb icon) to turn the display backlight on or off for better visibility in different lighting conditions.

7. Entretien

• Nettoyage: Essuyez l'appareil avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp tissu. N'utilisez pas de nettoyants abrasifs et ne plongez pas l'appareil dans l'eau.
• Stockage: Store the thermometer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Remplacement de la batterie : Remplacez les piles lorsque le voyant de batterie faible s'affiche.

8. Dépannage

• Lecture inexacte ou absente :
  • Vérifiez les niveaux de batterie et remplacez-les si nécessaire.
  • Ensure the target surface is not transparent or highly reflective.
  • Verify the distance to the target is within the optimal 12:1 D:S ratio.
  • Nettoyez la lentille du capteur si elle paraît sale.
• Laser défectueux :
  • Check if the laser function is enabled (refer to operating instructions).
  • Assurez-vous que les batteries sont correctement installées et chargées.
