5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
5.1 Realización de una medición
- 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 Modos de medición
The PTIA 1 offers different operating modes:
- Medición sencilla: 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.
