1. Introduzione
The Parkside PTIA 1 Infrared Thermometer is a non-contact device designed for quick and accurate surface temperature measurement. It is an ideal tool for identifying thermal bridges and areas at risk of mold formation in various environments. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of your device.
Key features include an 8-point laser for precise measurement area indication, a color display with a signal for temperature differences, and a wide measurement range from -50 °C to +380 °C. The device also offers simple and reference measurement modes, a battery change indicator, and an automatic shutdown function to conserve power.

- Aprite u coperchio scorrendulu o sbloccandulu.
- Insert the 2 AA batteries and 1 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Chiudere in modu sicuru u coperchiu di u compartimentu di a batteria.
4.2 Initial Power-On and Unit Selection
- Press the measurement trigger to turn on the device. The display will illuminate.
- To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the dedicated unit selection button (usually labeled °C/°F or similar) located near the display.
- U dispusitivu hè avà prontu per usu.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Piglià una Misurazione
- Point the infrared sensor towards the surface you wish to measure.
- Press and hold the measurement trigger. The 8-point laser will activate, indicating the approximate measurement area.
- The temperature reading will appear on the display. Release the trigger to hold the reading.
- The device has an optics ratio of 12:1, meaning that at a distance of 12 units, the measurement spot diameter is 1 unit. For example, at 12 meters, the spot diameter is 1 meter. Ensure you are at an appropriate distance for accurate readings.

5.2 Modi di misurazione
The PTIA 1 offers different operating modes:
- Misurazione simplice: This is the default mode for quick, direct temperature readings of a surface.
- Reference Measurement: In this mode, you can set a reference temperature. The device will then display color indications and signals to highlight differences between the measured value and the set reference value, which is useful for identifying anomalies like thermal bridges. Consult the on-screen prompts or specific mode button for activation.
