Heat Stress WBGT Meter

Model HT30

2 HT30-en-GB_V3.6 4/16

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Heat Stress WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) Meter. This

meter measures and displays Heat Stress Index (WBGT), which is how hot it feels when humidity is

combined with temperature, air movement, and direct or radiant sunlight. Black Globe Temperature

(TG) monitors the effects of direct solar radiation on an exposed surface. It also measures air

temperature (TA) and Relative Humidity (RH). Additional features include: selectable units of °F/°C,

Auto power off with override, and a built-in RS-232 interface with optional 407752 Windows®

software. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of

reliable service.

Meter Operation

1. Press the /SET button to power the instrument on/off.

2. Slide down the protective sensor cover before taking measurements.

3. Press the MODE/button to select the desired display mode: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature

Index (WBGT), Air Temperature (TA), Black Globe Temperature (TG), or Relative Humidity

(RH). An icon will appear in the display indicating the current selection.

4. To select the preferred temperature unit (°F or °C), simultaneously press and release the

MODE/and NEXT buttons. The F or C icon will appear in the display.

5. The meter measures WBGT index with (IN) or without (OUT) direct sun exposure. Hold down

the MODE/for more than 1 second to alternate between settings. The IN or OUT icon will

appear in the display.

Alarm Setting

The HT30 has a user settable heat stress alarm. The HT30 will emit an audible beep when the heat

stress WBGT reaches the level previously set by the user. The alarm will continue beep until the

measured WBGT temperature falls below the alarm level set by the user, or the meter is turned off.

The setting range is from 68.0 to 99.0°F (20.0 to 37.2°C).

1. To enter the alarm setup mode, hold down the /SET button for more than 2 seconds when

turning the meter on.

2. The current alarm setting will be displayed with the most significant digit blinking.

3. Use the MODE/button to increment the digit.

4. To set the next digit, momentarily press the NEXT button.

5. After all of the digits are set, press and hold the NEXT button for 2 seconds to return to the

measuring mode.

NOTE: The OUT icon will appear in the display If the new setting is out of the setting range of the

alarm.

Auto Power Off

The Auto Power Off feature automatically turns the meter off after approximately 20 minutes. To

disable this feature, hold down the /SET and MODE/for 2 seconds when powering on the

meter. The meter will momentarily display an “n” and enter measuring mode. The meter will reset to

auto power off mode when it is powered off.

Battery Replacement

When it is time to replace the batteries, the low battery indicator appears in the bottom left-hand

corner of the LCD display. To replace the battery:

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the meter.

2. Replace the two AAA batteries and close the compartment.

You, as the end user, are legally bound (Battery ordinance) to return all used batteries and

accumulators; disposal in the household garbage is prohibited!

You can hand over your used batteries / accumulators at collection points in your community

or wherever batteries / accumulators are sold!

Disposal: Follow the valid legal stipulations in respect of the disposal of the device at the

end of its lifecycle

RS-232 PC Interface

The RS-232 serial data port (3.5mm phono jack) is located on the right side of the meter. The PC

interface hardware is intended for use with the Extech software package, Part Number 407752

which includes Windows® compatible software and PC interface cable. This software will allow you

to Stream data from the meter to the PC software (Data Acquisition).

For more information, contact Extech or refer to the 407752 User's Manual.

Error Messages

An error message will appear on the display if the meter fails an internal diagnostic test.

1. E2: The value is under range.

2. E3: The value is over range.

3. E4: The value is in error.

4. E11: RH Calibration error.

5. E33: Circuit error. Repair/replacement necessary.

HT30 WBGT calculations:

WBGT = Wet bulb Globe temperature

WB = Wet bulb temperature (Calculated from temperature and Humidity)

TG = Globe temperature

TA = Air temperature

OUT of the Sun (Indoors)

WBGT = 0.7xWB + 0.3xTG

IN full Sun (Outdoors)

WBGT = 0.7xWB + 0.2xTG + 0.1xTA

Sensor - Wet bulb calculator (sea level pressure)

Know These Heat Disorder Symptoms

Heat

Disorder Symptoms First Aid

Sunburn Redness and pain. In severe cases,

relieve spasm. Give sips of water. If nausea occurs,

discontinue use.

Heat

Exhaustion Heavy sweating, weakness, skin cold,

pale and clammy. Pulse thready.

Normal temperature possible. Fainting

and vomiting.

Get victim out of sun. Lay down and loosen clothing. Apply

cool wet cloths. Fan or move victim to air conditioned room.

Sips of water. If nausea occurs, discontinue use. If vomiting

continues, seek immediate medical attention.

Heat

Stroke

(or

sunstroke)

High body temperature (106°F, or

higher). Hot dry skin. Rapid and

strong pulse. Possible

unconsciousness.

Heat stroke is a severe medical emergency. Summon

medical assistance or get the victim to a hospital

immediately. Delay can be fatal.

Move the victim to a cooler environment. Reduce body

temperature with cold bath or sponging. Use extreme caution.

Remove clothing, use fans and air conditioners. If temperature
