PRODUCT MANUAL: SPOTON® INVERSION TESTER

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Inversion Tester (#35010) is designed to detect thermal inversions and measure air temperature at boom height, essential for pesticide/herbicide application. It indicates inversion presence and intensity using temperature measurements at 1-meter and 3-meter heights. The device includes a NIST-Traceable Certificate for temperature accuracy, features a backlit LCD for low-light conditions, and is foldable for easy transport with a carry case.
Specifications: The tester operates within a temperature range of 0.0 to 150.0 °F (-18.0 to 65.0 °C) with a resolution of 0.1 °F (0.1 °C) and an accuracy of +/- 0.36 °F (0.2 °C). It is powered by a replaceable CR2032 lithium battery, providing 100 hours of operation. The device is weatherproof with an IP64 rating.
Safety Instructions: Ensure the area above the intended use location is free from overhead obstructions like tree branches or electrical wires to avoid safety hazards.
Usage Instructions: Follow chemical label instructions for measuring and recording weather conditions. For inversion testing, use the device to take readings at different field locations before and after application events. The tester provides stable temperature readings by waving the sensor back and forth until a steady value is displayed.
Maintenance: Store the device in its carry case with the dust cover in place. Clean the radiation shields with a damp cloth and avoid submerging the device in water.
Warranty and Service: The product comes with a one-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. For repairs, an RMA number is required for returns, and a restocking fee applies for refunds.
Procedures: To measure inversion, record temperature at different heights (1 to 3 meters). The device displays 'INVERSION PRESENT' or 'NO INVERSION' based on the temperature readings. For battery replacement, the LCD will indicate when it's time to change the battery. The battery compartment is accessed by removing a screw cap.
Product Care: Store the device in its carrying case with the dust cover in place to prevent sensor contamination. Clean the radiation shields with a damp cloth and avoid submerging the device in water.
Troubleshooting: If the red sliding bar lock does not stay in place, adjust the internal brass tube with pliers to ensure proper locking.
Usage Recommendations: Follow chemical labeling instructions for measuring and recording weather conditions. If no specific requirements are provided, conduct three inversion tests for accuracy. Document readings using smartphone photos for metadata capture.
Documentation of Readings: Smartphones can document readings by capturing a photo of the SpotOn® Inversion Meter display, which includes location data and timestamp. The reading remains on the display for one minute, allowing ample time for documentation.
Extension and Folding of the Pole: To extend the pole, unlock it from the clamp and slide the locking mechanism over the spring. After use, fold the pole back into the clamp and replace the sensor cover to protect it from dirt and impact.
Changing Temperature Units: Simultaneously press the On/Off and Go buttons to switch between °F and °C.
Measuring Air Temperature at Boom Height: Turn on the device, hold the sensor at boom height, and swing it until a stable temperature is displayed. A blinking value indicates the sensor is still adjusting.
Temperature Inversion Measurement: Begin by measuring the lower temperature at 2 meters height, then invert the device to measure the upper temperature. The display will indicate if an inversion is present and its intensity.
Understanding Inversion Intensity: The intensity is the temperature difference between upper and lower readings. A positive value indicates an inversion, while a negative value suggests normal conditions.
Battery Replacement: Replace the battery when prompted by the display. Use a CR2032 lithium button cell and ensure the cover is securely fastened.
Careful Handling: Store the device in its case to prevent dust accumulation. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid submerging in water.
Repair and Service Guidelines: Contact the dealer for returns or repairs.
Calibration Certificate: The device is calibrated to NIST standards, ensuring compliance with ISO 10012-1:1992(E).

INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH | INVERSION TESTER INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH | INVERSION TESTER Understanding Inversion Intensity The inversion intensity is the actual temperature difference between the upper temperature reading the and lower temperature reading. It will display as a positive value when an inversion is present and as a negative value when there is no inversion. Under normal atmospheric conditions (no inversion) the intensity should show as a negative value of 0.5°F(0.3°C) or less. If an inversion is present then the intensity value will be a positive value between 0.1°F(0.1°C) and 5.0°F(2.8°C)....
