2. Consignes de sécurité

Veuillez lire attentivement toutes les consignes de sécurité et les instructions avant d'utiliser ce produit. Le non-respect de ces instructions peut entraîner des blessures ou endommager l'appareil.

• Sécurité laser: Do not look directly into the laser beam or point it at people or animals. The laser is used for targeting only and should be used with caution.
• Mesure sans contact : This thermometer measures surface temperature. It is not intended for measuring body temperature.
• Sécurité électrique : Do not use the device near strong electromagnetic fields. Keep the device dry and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Sécurité des batteries : Use only the specified battery type (2x AAA). Ensure correct polarity when installing batteries. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Entretien: Ne tentez pas de démonter ou de modifier l'appareil. Confiez toute réparation à un personnel qualifié.

5. Installation

5.1 Installation de la batterie

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

5.2 Mise sous/hors tension

To power on the device, simply press the measurement trigger. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

6. Mode d'emploi

6.1 Prendre une mesure

1. Point the thermometer at the target surface. Ensure the laser pointer (if activated) is aimed at the center of the area you wish to measure.
2. Press and hold the measurement trigger. The laser will activate, and the current temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen.
3. Release the trigger to hold the measurement on the display. The 'HOLD' icon will appear.

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

The DIT-220 has a Distance-to-Spot ratio of 12:1. This means that as you move further from the target, the area being measured (spot size) increases. For accurate readings, ensure the target area is larger than the spot size. For example, at a distance of 12 inches, the measurement spot will be 1 inch in diameter.

6.3 Réglage de l'émissivité

Different materials emit infrared energy differently. The DIT-220 allows you to adjust the emissivity (ε) from 0.10 to 1.00 to compensate for this and achieve more accurate readings. Refer to a standard emissivity table for common materials or adjust empirically.

1. Appuyez sur le MODE button to cycle through settings until 'EMS' (Emissivity) is displayed.
2. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the emissivity value.
3. Appuyez sur le MODE à nouveau pour confirmer et quitter.

6.4 Using MAX/MIN/AVG Modes

These modes are useful for monitoring temperature fluctuations over time.

1. While holding the measurement trigger, press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through MAX (Maximum), MIN (Minimum), and AVG (Average) display modes.
2. The corresponding icon will appear on the screen, showing the respective temperature value recorded during the current measurement session.

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

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the °C/°F button located on the device.

7. Entretien

7.1 Nettoyage

• Nettoyez la lentille avec un chiffon doux.amp Chiffon ou coton-tige. Ne pas utiliser de nettoyants abrasifs ni de solvants.
• Essuyez l'appareil casing avec un chiffon doux et sec.

7.2 Remplacement de la batterie

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AAA batteries as described in the Setup section (5.1 Battery Installation).

7.3 Stockage

Rangez le thermomètre dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des températures extrêmes. Retirez les piles si vous prévoyez de le ranger pendant une période prolongée.
