1. Introduzione
The VOLTCRAFT IR 500-12S is a robust and practical infrared thermometer designed for non-contact temperature measurement. It features a pistol grip for comfortable handling and allows for safe and precise surface temperature readings of objects ranging from -50 °C to +500 °C. This device is suitable for various applications in home, hobby, and professional environments, including measuring temperatures of rotating parts, live conductors, hard-to-reach areas, or dangerously hot objects.
2. Istruzioni di sicurezza
Si prega di leggere attentamente tutte le istruzioni di sicurezza prima di utilizzare il dispositivo. Il mancato rispetto di queste istruzioni può causare lesioni o danni al dispositivo.
- Sicurezza laser: Do not look directly into the laser beam or point it at people or animals. The laser is used for aiming only and is not part of the temperature measurement process.
- Limiti di temperatura: Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-50 °C to +500 °C) or to sudden, drastic temperature changes.
- Sicurezza elettrica: This device measures surface temperature and is not designed to measure internal temperatures of living beings or to detect electrical current directly. Exercise caution when measuring hot or electrically live surfaces.
- Pulizia: Utilizzare un morbido, damp panno per la pulizia. Non utilizzare detergenti o solventi abrasivi.
- Gestione della batteria: Ensure correct battery polarity. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
- Manutenzione: Non tentare di aprire o modificare il dispositivo. Per qualsiasi intervento di assistenza, rivolgersi a personale qualificato.

3.1. Componenti chiave
- Trigger di misurazione: Located on the handle, used to initiate temperature readings.
- Schermo LCD: Digital display showing temperature readings, units, and other indicators.
- Pulsante puntatore laser: Activates/deactivates the aiming laser.
- Pulsante °C/°F: Alterna le unità di temperatura Celsius e Fahrenheit.
- Pulsante MAX/MIN: Displays the maximum or minimum temperature recorded during a measurement session.
- Sensore a infrarossi: Located at the front of the device, responsible for detecting infrared radiation.
- Vano batteria: Located in the handle for a 9V battery.
4. Impostazione
4.1. Installazione della batteria
- Individuare il coperchio del vano batteria sull'impugnatura del termometro.
- Aprire il coperchio del vano batterie.
- Insert one 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and - terminals).
- Chiudere saldamente il coperchio del vano batterie.
The device is now ready for use. If the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the battery.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1. Effettuare una misurazione
- Puntare il sensore a infrarossi verso l'oggetto bersaglio.
- Press and hold the measurement trigger. The laser pointer (if activated) will indicate the center of the measurement area.
- The temperature reading will appear on the LCD display instantly.
- Release the trigger to hold the last measured temperature on the display. The "HOLD" indicator will appear.
Note on Distance-to-Spot Ratio: The VOLTCRAFT IR 500-12S has an optical resolution of 12:1. This means that at a distance of 12 units, the measurement spot diameter is 1 unit. For accurate readings, ensure the target object is larger than the measurement spot size.
5.2. Unit Selection (°C/°F)
Premere il tasto ° C / ° F pulsante per passare dalle unità di temperatura Celsius a Fahrenheit e viceversa.
5.3. MAX/MIN Function
While holding the measurement trigger, press the Massimo/minimo button to cycle through the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded during the current measurement session. Release the trigger to exit this mode.
5.4. Puntatore laser
Press the laser button (often marked with a laser icon) to activate or deactivate the laser pointer. The laser assists in aiming the thermometer at the desired measurement spot.
5.5. Emissività
The VOLTCRAFT IR 500-12S has a fixed emissivity of 0.95. This value is suitable for most organic materials, painted surfaces, and many non-metals. For highly reflective surfaces (e.g., polished metals), readings may be less accurate. No adjustment is required or possible on this model.
6. Manutenzione
6.1. Pulizia
- Pulisci il dispositivo casing con un morbido, leggermente damp stoffa.
- Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi, solventi o immergere il dispositivo in acqua.
- Clean the infrared lens gently with a soft cloth or cotton swab, using only water or lens cleaning solution. Avoid scratching the lens.
6.2. Conservazione
- Conservare il termometro in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
- Rimuovere la batteria se il dispositivo non verrà utilizzato per un periodo prolungato per evitare perdite.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il dispositivo non si accende. | Batteria scarica o scarica; installazione errata della batteria. | Sostituire la batteria da 9 V; verificare la corretta polarità. |
| Letture imprecise. | Measurement distance too far; target object too small; highly reflective surface; dirty lens. | Move closer to the target; ensure target is larger than spot size; consider emissivity limitations for reflective surfaces; clean the lens. |
| Messaggio "Err" sul display. | Temperature outside measurement range; sensor error. | Ensure target temperature is within -50 °C to +500 °C; if error persists, contact support. |
| Laser not working. | Laser deactivated; low battery. | Press the laser button to activate; replace battery if low. |
