General Tools and Instruments WBGT8778 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
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 Adminis-
tration), SMA(Sports Medicine Australia),
and Japan Society for Occup ational
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.
Features:
Direct measurement of the radiation
effect with a brass black ball.
Adjustable WBGT alarm threshold
Audible beeper for heat stress
monitoring
Sensor protecting mechanism
Easy self calibration for humidity
PC connect for data analysis

Thank you for purchasing the Heat Index
WBGT meter. The handy meter 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
