1. FEATURES
* Introduction :
WBGT ( wet-bulb globe temperature ) was developed as a monitoring basis at US military training camps and became widespread for the use in workplaces and sports situation It is suggested in the international standard ISO 7243, OSHA ( US Occupation Safety ), Japan Society for Occupational Health and the SMA ( Sports Medicine Australia ) in establishing the permissible heat exposure limits in health , sports or other physical activities.
* Measurement : WBGT value ( Indoor/Outdoor Wet bulb
globe temperature ), Black globe temperature, Humidity, Air temperature, Wet bulb temperature, Dew point Temp..
* Adjustable WBGT alarm setting, if the WBGT value over
the alarm threshold, the buzzer will sound along with the flashing Display.
* Using to control and monitor of physical activity in hot
environment to limit the danger of heat related injuries.
* Globe temperature measurement use the Pt sensor,
high accuracy.
* Fast humidity measuring response time. * Direct measurement of the radiation effect with
a brass black ball in 75 mm dia.
* Sensor protecting mechanism. * Real time SD memory card Datalogger, it Built-in Clock
and Calendar, real time data recorder , sampling time set from 1 second to 3600 seconds.
* Manual datalogger is available ( set the sampling
time to 0 ), during execute the manual datalogger function, it can set the different position ( location ) No. ( position 1 to position 99 ).

When the lower display show " Sd F "
1)Use the " Button " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) or " Button " (▲▼ 3-5, Fig. 1 ) to select the upper value to " yES " or " no ".
yES - Intend to format the SD memory card no - Not execute the SD memory card format
21
2)If select the upper to " yES ", press the " Enter Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once again, the Display will show text " yES Enter " to confirm again, if make sure to do the SD memory card format, then press " Enter Button " once will format the SD memory clear all the existing data that already saving into the SD card.
8. POWER SUPPLY from DC
ADAPTER
The meter also can supply the power supply from the DC 9V Power Adapter ( optional ). Insert the plug of Power Adapter into " DC 9V Power Adapter Input Socket " ( 3-12, Fig. 1 ). The meter will permanent power ON when use the DC ADAPTER power supply ( The power Button function is disable ).
9. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)When the left corner of LCD display show " ", it
is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec. measurement may still be made for several hours after low battery indicator appears before the instrument become inaccurate.
2)Loose the screws of the " Battery Cover Screws " ( 3-14, Fig. 1 ) and take away the " Battery Cover " ( 3-13, Fig. 1 ) from the instrument and remove the battery.
3)Replace with DC 1.5 V battery ( UM3, AA, Alkaline/heavy duty ) x 6 PCs, and reinstate the cover.
4)Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing the battery.

10. SYSTEM RESET
If the meter happen the troubles such as :
CPU system is hold ( for example, the key button can not be operated... ).
Then make the system RESET will fix the problem. The system RESET procedures will be either following method :
During the power on, use a pin to press the " Reset Button " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ) once a while will reset the circuit system.
11. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5 mm terminal ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.
23
Meter PC
(9W 'D" Connector)
Center Pin..........................Pin 4
(3.5 mm jack plug)
Ground/shield.......................Pin 2
2.2 K resistor
Pin 5
The 16 digits data stream will be displayed in the following format :
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
Each digit indicates the following status :
D15 Start Word D14 4 D13 When send the WBGT display data = 1
When send the Humidity display data = 2 When send the TA display data = 3 When send the TG display data = 4 When send the WB display data = 5 When send the Dew point display data = 6
D12, D11 Annunciator for Display
= 01 = 02 % RH = 04
D10 Polarity
0 = Positive 1 = Negative
D9 Decimal Point(DP), position from right to the
left 0 = No DP, 1= 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP
D8 to D1 Display reading, D1 = LSD, D8 = MSD
For example :
If the display reading is 1234, then D8 to D1 is : 00001234
D0 End Word
