EXTECH Instruments HW30 HeatWatch Humidity and Temperature Stopwatch User Manual

1. Inleiding

The Extech Instruments HW30 HeatWatch is a multi-function stopwatch designed to provide essential environmental data alongside precise timing capabilities. This device displays digital up/down timer functions, current temperature, humidity, and calculates the heat index, which indicates how hot it feels when humidity is combined with the actual temperature. It is an ideal tool for monitoring conditions in various environments, particularly those with hot weather. Additional features include a 12/24-hour clock, a standard stopwatch, 30 lap/split memory, and a programmable alarm.

• Tydmodus: Wys die huidige tyd (12- of 24-uur-formaat).
• Stophorlosiemodus: For timing events, including lap/split functions.
• Humidity/Temperature/Heat Index Mode: Shows environmental readings.
• Alarmmodus: For setting and activating the programmable alarm.

6.2. Stel die tyd en datum in

1. In Tydmodus, druk en hou die MODUS knoppie totdat die tydsyfers begin flikker.
2. Gebruik die BEGIN/STOP knoppie om die flikkerende syfer (ure, minute, sekondes) aan te pas.
3. Druk die LAP/SPLIT/RESET button to move to the next digit or setting (e.g., 12/24-hour format, date).
4. Sodra alle instellings gekonfigureer is, druk die MODUS button to exit setup.

6.3. Using the Stopwatch Functions

1. Skakel oor na Stophorlosie-modus met behulp van die MODUS knoppie.

5. Om te hervat, druk BEGIN/STOP. Om terug te stel, druk LAP/SPLIT/RESET terwyl die stophorlosie gepauseer is.
6. To recall stored lap/split times, press the HERROEP button in Stopwatch Mode. Use LAP/SPLIT/RESET to scroll through memory.

6.4. Humidity, Temperature, and Heat Index Measurement

The HW30 automatically measures and displays humidity, temperature, and calculates the heat index in the dedicated mode.

1. Switch to Humidity/Temperature/Heat Index Mode using the MODUS knoppie.
2. The display will show the current humidity percentage, temperature (in °F or °C), and the calculated heat index.
3. Allow a few minutes for the sensors to stabilize and provide accurate readings, especially when moving the device between environments with different conditions.

6.5. Stel die alarm in

1. Switch to Alarm Mode using the MODUS knoppie.
2. Druk en hou die MODUS knoppie totdat die alarmtydsyfers begin flikker.
3. Gebruik die BEGIN/STOP button to adjust the flashing digit (hours, minutes).
4. Druk die LAP/SPLIT/RESET knoppie om tussen ure en minute te beweeg.
5. Once the desired alarm time is set, press the MODUS knoppie om te bevestig.
