Heat Stress Meter /Wet Bulb Global
Temperature (WBGT) and Heat Index (HI)
Monitor

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett HS10 Heat
Stress Wet Bulb Global Temperature (WBGT) and Heat Index
(HI) Monitor

. This compact checker measures air temperature, globe temperature, and
humidity to give heat stress index for using in control of physical activity in
hot environment to limit the danger of heat-related injuries.

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 situations.
It is suggested in an international standard ISO 7243 and many governments

such as OSHA (US Occupational Safety & Health Administration),
SMA(Sports Medicine Australia)and Japan Society for Occupational Health
in establishing the permissible heat exposure limits in occupational health,
sports or other physical activities.
The applications of the heat index can be in construction, iron and steel
foundries, bricks-firing plants, glass facilities, boiler rooms, mining sites,
army training, marathon, beach activities and so on.

The heat index was developed by the US National Weather Service to help
people avoid heat illness. Prolonged exposure and/or physical activity at a
high heat index is likely to lead to sun stroke, heat cramps, heat exhaustion
and even death. However, please be aware that heat index is not an exact
science. The values reached are approximations. Ultimately, the final
decision of whether or not to exercise or work belongs to the individual,
athletic trainer or employer.

 In power off status, press [SET] button, [▲] and [▼]

simultaneously for 5 seconds till entering RESET Mode.

 In NORMAL MEASURMENT MODE, press [▲] or [▼] button to

adjust the sound level.

 In SETTING MODE press [▲] or [▼] button to adjust the value of

thresholds or ON / OFF the alarm.

Press to turn ON (press1 second) and turn OFF (press 2 seconds)
the meter. All indicators are shown on the LCD when powered ON and the
meter enters measurement mode. The firmware revision is displayed on
the LCD for 1 second when powered ON.

When in measurement mode, the WBGT value, temperature and
humidity values are displayed on the LCD.

SOUND LEVEL

The user can press the [▲] or [▼] key to adjust the volume of the alarm. In
measuring mode, press [▲] or [▼] key to adjust the volume in 0dB > 60dB
>75dB respectively. The buzzer icon will be displayed.

Note: No Buzzer icon is displayed on the LCD when the sound is 0dB.

DANGER ZONE INDICATOR

For both WBGT and HI there are 4 levels of heat stress danger zone

indications at the top of the LCD.

ALARM

When the measured heat stress value is over alarm threshold, the red LED,
buzzer and measured value will all blink every second as a reminder. After
30 seconds, it beeps 1 time per minute. The user can disable beep sound at
any time when pressing [▼] key. The alarm threshold value can be re­programmed. Check “SETUP” Mode in the following section in this manual

for further instruction.

SETUP MODE

This function allow users to customize their own default settings. Press the
button + [▲]+ [▼] buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter SETUP
Mode. The meter will return to normal display while keys are inactive for 30
sec in setup mode. Display for either WBGT & HI (Heat Index) is switchable
by the user.

IN/OUT SWITCH (ONLY for WBGT mode)

This function serves to calculate WBGT without [IN] or with [OUT] direct
sun exposure.
Under IN/OUT modes, press [▲] or [▼] to switch
[IN / OUT] then press to confirm

ALARM THRESHOLD SETTING

This function allows users to customize alarm threshold
or stay at factory default alarm threshold. While choosing
to stay at factory default alarm threshold, please select
[OFF]. [OFF] means to turn off customization function.

The default alarm-threshold is defined in below and each range has different
buzzer frequence to distinguish.

If user decides to customize their own alarm threshold, select [ON], [ON]
means the alarm threshold setting is turned ON by user.

The adjustment
range is listed
below.

Press the [▲] or [▼] button to adjust alarm value. Press the button to save
the value. The adjustment is 0.1 per step. The adjustment range is 68°F to

122°F (20 to 50°C) for WBGT and 50°F to 140°F(10~60°C) for HI
Note: If user prefers to monitor the heat stress in a complete silent mode

the following procedure can disable the alarm function
so LED, buzzer and alarm related icons are all OFF.

While adjusting alarm threshold value, pressing [▲]
and [▼] key simultaneously. The alarm threshold will

show [--.-] on the LCD Press [▲] and [▼] again to
