NON-CONTACT IR
MEASUREMENT OPERATION
A. POWER ON/OFF
The meter automatically powers when
the
MEAS
key is pressed. Press the
MEAS
key to take a reading. Read
the measured temperature on the LCD.
The meter powers OFF automatically
approximately 4 seconds after the
MEAS
key is released.
B. DATA HOLD
This meter automatically holds the last
temperature reading on the LCD for 4-5
seconds after the
MEAS
key is
released.
No extra key presses are necessary to
freeze the displayed reading.
C. MEASUREMENT CONSIDERA-
TIONS
Holding the meter by its handle, point
the IR Sensor toward the object whose
temperature is to be measured. The
meter automatically compensates for
temperature deviations from ambient
temperature. Keep in mind that it will
take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide
ambient temperature changes.
When low temperatures are to be
measured followed by high temperature
measurements, some time (several
minutes) is required after the low (and
before the high) temperature
measurements are made.
This is a result of the cooling process
which must take place for the IR sensor
