1. Entwodiksyon
The TENMARS TM-213 is a compact, professional UVAB light meter designed for accurate measurement of ultraviolet radiation. This device is suitable for a variety of applications, including industrial monitoring, UV sterilization, graphic arts, photochemical matching, UV EPROM erasure, photoresist exposure, and curing of inks, adhesives, and coatings. It is also useful for laboratory studies such as weathering degradation, virology, microbial genetics, DNA research, and biological hoods.
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your TM-213 UVAB Light Meter. Please read it thoroughly before operation and retain it for future reference.
2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite
To ensure safe operation and to prevent damage to the meter, please observe the following safety precautions:
- Do not operate the meter if it appears damaged or if the casing ouvè.
- Avoid exposing the meter to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Do not attempt to repair or modify the meter. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Remove batteries if the meter is not to be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.
- Keep the sensor clean and free from obstructions for accurate readings.
- This device measures UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to high levels of UV radiation can be harmful. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working in environments with high UV levels.

5. Enstalasyon
5.1 Enstalasyon batri
The TM-213 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries for operation. Batteries are not included with the device.
- Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman pil la sou dèyè mèt la.
- Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw securing the battery cover.
- Retire kouvèti batri a.
- Mete de pil AAA 1.5V, obsève polarite ki kòrèk la (+/-) jan yo endike anndan konpatiman an.
- Ranplase kouvèti batri a epi sere boulon vis la byen.

5.2 Limen/Etenyen
- To turn the meter ON, press the green Power button (●).
- To turn the meter OFF, press the green Power button (●) ankò.
- The meter features an automatic shutdown function after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
6. Operasyon Enstriksyon
6.1 Pran yon mezi
- Ensure batteries are installed and the meter is powered ON.
- Remove the protective cap from the UV sensor.
- Zeroing the Meter: In an area with no UV light (e.g., in a dark room or with the sensor completely covered), press the ZERO button. The display should show "0" or a value very close to zero. This step ensures accuracy.
- Position the UV sensor towards the UV source or area you wish to measure.
- Read the UV radiation value displayed on the LCD screen. The measurement updates approximately every 3 seconds.
6.2 Chanje Inite Mezi yo
The TM-213 can display readings in microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm²) or milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²).
- Peze a INITE button to toggle between uW/cm² and mW/cm².
- Note that 1000 uW/cm² is equivalent to 1 mW/cm².
6.3 Fonksyon kenbe done
To freeze the current reading on the display:
- Peze a KENBE button during a measurement. The reading will be frozen.
- Peze a KENBE button again to release the reading and resume live measurement.
7. Antretyen
7.1 Netwayaj
- Siye c mèt laasing ak yon mou, damp twal. Pa sèvi ak pwodui netwayaj abrazif oswa solvang.
- Keep the UV sensor clean and free of dust or debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the sensor surface.
7.2 Depo
- When not in use, always place the protective cap over the UV sensor.
- Store the meter in its carrying case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Si w ap sere l pou yon bon bout tan, retire pil yo pou anpeche yo koule.
- Sere nan yon kote ki fre, sèk lwen limyè solèy la dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm.
