1. Isingeniso
The Fieldpiece SPK3 is a versatile dual-temperature thermometer designed for HVACR professionals. It combines a folding rod temperature probe for in-duct measurements with an 8:1 infrared (IR) gun for non-contact surface temperature readings. This device features a convenient flip display, Max/Min, Hold, and T1-T2 functions, and a robust design for field use.

2. Setha
2.1 Ukufakwa kwebhethri
- Thola ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngemuva kweyunithi.
- Use a small screwdriver or coin to open the battery compartment.
- Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). The batteries are included with the device.
- Shintshanisa ikhava yengxenye yebhethri futhi uyivikele.
2.2 Amandla Okuqala Avuliwe
Cindezela inkinobho KHANYISA CISHA button to power on the device. The display will illuminate, and the thermometer will be ready for use.
3. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza
3.1 Ukusebenza Okujwayelekile
- Vula/Vala: Cindezela inkinobho KHANYISA CISHA inkinobho yokuvula noma ukuvala iyunithi.
- Ukukhethwa Kweyunithi: Cindezela inkinobho ° C / ° F button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
- Ukukhanya kwangemuva: The display is backlit for visibility in low-light conditions.
3.2 Folding Rod (ROD) Mode
The folding rod probe is designed for accurate in-duct temperature measurements.
- Deploying the Probe: Gently unfold the rod probe from the main body of the thermometer. Detents will lock the probe into various open positions, allowing for partial or full extension.
- In-Duct Measurement: Insert the piercing tip of the rod into the ductwork. The rod hook allows the SPK3 to hang hands-free from registers or ductwork, providing stable readings.
- Bonisa umumo: The backlit display automatically flips its orientation when the unit is hung or positioned in ROD mode, ensuring readings are always upright.
3.3 Infrared (IR) Mode
The 8:1 infrared gun provides quick, non-contact surface temperature measurements.
- Activating IR: Point the infrared sensor (located at the top of the unit) towards the target surface.
- Isilinganiso: Cindezela bese ubamba i IR button to take a reading. The temperature will be displayed on the screen. Release the button to hold the reading.
- Ibanga lebanga ukuya endaweni: The 8:1 ratio means that at a distance of 8 inches, the measurement spot size is 1 inch. Ensure you are close enough to the target for accurate readings.
3.4 Imisebenzi Ethuthukisiwe
- MAX / MIN: Cindezela inkinobho MAX/MIN inkinobho ukuze view the maximum or minimum temperature recorded during a measurement session.
- BAMBA: Cindezela inkinobho BAMBA inkinobho yokumisa izinga lokushisa lamanje esibukweni. Cindezela futhi ukuze ukhulule.
- I-T1-T2: The SPK3 can quickly calculate the temperature difference between two readings (T1-T2) using either IR or ROD mode. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific instructions on using this function.
4. Isondlo
4.1 Ukuhlanza
To clean the SPK3, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. Ensure the infrared lens and probe tip are kept clean for accurate measurements.
4.2 Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri
When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the AAA batteries as described in Section 2.1.
4.3 Isitoreji
When not in use, fold the rod probe back into the body of the thermometer for protection. Store the unit in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
5. Ukuxazulula izinkinga
- Akukho Siboniso/Iyunithi Engavulwanga:
- Hlola ukufakwa kwebhethri futhi uqinisekise i-polarity efanele.
- Faka esikhundleni amabhethri amasha.
- Inaccurate Readings (ROD Probe):
- Ensure the probe tip is clean and free from debris.
- Allow sufficient time for the probe to stabilize to the measured temperature.
- Verify the probe is fully inserted into the measurement area.
- Inaccurate Readings (IR Gun):
- Ensure the IR lens is clean.
- Maintain the correct distance-to-spot ratio (8:1).
- Avoid measuring highly reflective surfaces, as IR thermometers may provide inaccurate readings on such materials.
- Display Not Flipping:
- Ensure the unit is in ROD mode and positioned appropriately for the automatic flip feature to engage.
