HOW THE THERMOMETERS WORK
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The
thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is
collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal
into a temperature reading which the unit displays .
OPERATING THE THERMOMETER
Temperature Measurement
The thermometer will turn on when you pull the trigger and also features an
auto-off function that automatically powers down the thermometer after 8
seconds of inactivity.
To measure temperature, point the thermometer at an object and pull the trigger.
You can use the laser pointer to help aim the thermometer. Pull and hold the
trigger when measuring the target surface.
When the trigger is released, the display will hold the reading for 8 seconds. Be
sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field of view. The laser is used for
aiming only and is not related to temperature measurement.
