HOW TO USE HEAT SHIELD MASTER
Switch on/off
Press together +
After few seconds Heat Shield Shows its PN, version and serial number
Then it shows day/time. If day/time
is correct select ESC otherwise go to Change day/ time. During first switch-on Heat Shield asks to select the system language. Select the language using and confirm using
Change date/time
Move the cursor below the date to change using Press to confirm. Press to exit
to exit
Measurement display
Heat Shield MASTER shows measurements and indexes from its sensors and, when
connected, from SATELLITE units. moves to different group of
measurements/indexes
The proper way to select a combination of buttons is to keep pressure over the
“Ctrl” button first, then push & release the second one, then release the
“Ctrl” button
Data logging
To start data logging go to measurements screen Go to SURVEY for more
information.
Status bar
It contains some Heat Shield working information
- where
- storing in progress.
- nn: survey number.
- ss:mm:can have the following meanings:
- on programmed survey, it is the time to reach the starting time of the survey (s=”-“).
- on programmed survey, during survey, it is time to reach the end of the survey (s=”-“).
- During survey, it is the time from the beginning of the survey. It is available only if survey end has not been programmed (s=”+“).
- Eee: number of errors.ru: radio signal with battery level. “-“ radio on, “1” receiving data from SATELLITE unit 1, “2” receiving data from SATELLITE unit 2. It does not appear with mode set to WBGT 1 amb (no SATELLITE unit used) and in models without the in-ternal radio module.
- LI: shows alternatively the battery level (B) and Memory status (M). 100%: battery at full charge/full memory; 0%: low battery/memory empty; other levels indicated: 80%,60%,40%,20%.
SETUP
It is possible to change some factory setup parameters
Browsing
Push to go on the MAIN menu. Use to scroll each in formation, and to enter;to
return to previous selection, it goes to Measurements when pushed from MAIN
menu.
Change parameters
Depending by the situation it is possible to change the parameters from a
selectable list (exam-ple: language) or using the arrows (example: day/time).
SURVEY
Getting started
- Check battery status.
- Check memory status.
- Mount each unit. See examples at the end of this document.
- Top up the wet bulb temperature sensor (9) tank on the MASTER unit and any SATELLITE units, if used, with demineralized water. Unscrew the tank cap without removing the cotton sock. The water should not exceed the 4/5 of the tank capacity. Then, screw the cap back on. Remember to remove the water before putting away the instrumentation.
- First switch-on the MASTER unit and later the SATELLITE units, if used.
- Check measurements from MASTER unit and SATELLITE units, if used.
- Attention: radiant temperature sensor (11) would need up to 20 minutes to acclimatize
Survey setup
Go to Survey setup.
- Start/stop: select the way to start survey (manually/selected day-time) and stop survey (manually/selected day-time/after a period time). During survey all measurements are stored.
- Nr survey: Heat Shield assign a progressive number to each survey. It is possible to change (1 ÷ 99) the first assigned number during measurement.
- Mode: Heat Shield can perform measurement from the base unit only (WBGT1 amb), from MASTER unit plus one SATELLITE (WBGT 2 amb), from MASTER unit plus two SATEL-LITE units (WBGT 3 amb). Or perform one measurement which show average value of the measurement coming from base unit and two SATELLITE units (WBGT subject, WBGT+PMV/PPD) as per ISO7243-1989 requirements.
- Subject parameters: define the parameters of the subject according to the selected survey mode, in order to produce the calculation of indices whose result is applicable to the subjects considered.
- Anemometer: if not connected select Not used or select a default air speed value, otherwise specify the type: Hot wire or Rotor anemometer.
- Measure unit: select Celsius or Fahrenheit
Survey start/stop
Each survey starts and stops using the programmed mode. The start and stop
commands are enabled only in the measurements mask. If starting mode is
manual, push + to start. Push + to stop survey, this stops survey anyway even
if automatic stop mode is programmed. You can pause an active survey at any
time by pressing +. While paused, the instrument will update and show measures
on the display, but data logging is stopped. By pressing again the same key
combination, the data logging resumes normally. While paused, the instrument
will show a ‘P’ in the top-left of the display.
HS MANAGER
HS Manager is a PC tool used to download the stored data and perform data analysis.
