The main evaluation results include the stay time under different work intensity. Section II Specification I Instrument composition WBGT2019A is composed of sensor, master-device and other parts, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. ① ② ③...
Section III Data processing The evaluation algorithm of relevant standards is built into the WBGT2019A, which can directly conduct field evaluation and give evaluation results. The data can also be shown as curve. At the same time, data can be uploaded to the PC to conduct data processing through PC software.

The power adapter is equipped with a variety of replaceable plugs, which can adapt to the standards of the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and other regions. II Equipment arrangement WBGT2019A is a portable instrument, there is a 1/4 inch screw hole on the bottom of the master-device, a standard tripod can be connected. See Figure 4.
Section II Basic operations I Sensor preparation The sensor of WBGT2019A and the master-device are designed for split use. The default state is: the sensor is fixed on the top of master-device by self-contained locking screws, as shown in Figure 5. During assembly, the 9-pin plug shall be inserted and the two lock nuts shall be tightened in place, otherwise there may be poor contact.

Chapter V Maintenance of Instrument Section I Calibration I Temperature calibration It is recommended to conduct temperature calibration and correction for this series of instruments every six months. Calibration through measurement department or self-calibration is acceptable. Self-calibration can be conducted with a special field temperature calibrator. The calibrator accuracy is ±...
Section II Storage If the instrument is not used for a long time, the battery shall be removed from the master-device. The instrument shall be kept in a cool and dry place rather than the humid environment and the environment liable to mold, which will affect the service life of the humidity sensor.
Appendix I ACGIH Clothing Corrections The following clothing corrections are in degrees Celsius. When a clothing correction is entered into the setup portion of the QUESTemp° 36.the value is added to the WBGT only for looking up the stay times. The WBGT value displayed by the unit does not reflect corrections.
