5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1 Acendido/Apagado
Preme o POWER/ESC button to turn the meter on. Press and hold the POWER/ESC botón durante uns segundos para desactivalo.
5.2 Measurement Mode Selection
After powering on, the meter will display the current measurement mode. To switch between UVA and UVC modes, press the dedicated UVA/UVC button (if available) or cycle through modes using the FUNC/HOLD/NEXT button as per the on-screen prompts.
5.3 Selección de rango
The YK-37UVSD offers two measurement ranges: 2 mW/cm² and 20 mW/cm². The meter typically auto-ranges, but you may be able to manually select a range using the SET button or a combination of buttons as described in the on-screen menu.
5.4 Función de retención de datos
Preme o ATENCIÓN botón (a miúdo combinado con FUNC/NEXT) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold function.
5.5 Axuste a cero
For accurate measurements, especially in low light conditions, a zero adjustment may be necessary. With the probe covered or in a dark environment, press the CERO button to calibrate the meter to zero.
5.6 Data Logging (SD Card)
To initiate real-time data logging to the SD card:
- Asegúrate de que estea inserida unha tarxeta SD.
- Preme o LOGGER button. The display will indicate that logging has started.
- To stop logging, press the LOGGER botón de novo.
- Data is saved in a format compatible with spreadsheet software for easy analysis.
5.7 Type K Temperature Measurement
The YK-37UVSD also supports Type K thermocouple temperature measurements. Connect a Type K thermocouple probe (sold separately) to the designated input. Use the FUNC/NEXT button to switch to temperature measurement mode.
6. Mantemento
6.1 Limpeza
Wipe the device and probes with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp Pódese usar un pano con deterxente suave, garantindo que non entre líquido no dispositivo. Non empregue produtos de limpeza abrasivos nin disolventes.
