b) Persons and product
• The product is suitable only for use in dry environments. If you want to use the
product outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions permit use of the product.
If necessary, use suitable protective devices, in order to keep the product dry.
• Moisture, dust, fume and/or vapours can affect the optics of the thermometer and
lead to incorrect measurements.
•
Do not use in the immediate proximity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
or transmission aerials. These may distort the measurements.
• Do not subject the thermometer to high temperatures in the vicinity of heat sources
or use it to measure explosive gases, vapours or dusts.
• Always comply with the accident prevention regulations for electrical equipment
when using the product in industrial facilities.
• Trained personnel must supervise the use of electrical appliances in schools,
training facilities and DIY workshops.
• Never switch the device on immediately after taking it from the cold into a warm
environment. The condensation generated may destroy the product. Condensation
on the lens can lead to inaccurate measurements. Leave the device switched off
and allow it to reach room temperature.
c)
(Rechargeable) battery
• Always check that the battery is inserted in the correct polarity.
• To prevent battery leakage, the battery should be removed from the device if it
is not used for a long period of time. Leaking or damaged batteries may cause
acid burns if they come into contact with your skin. Always use suitable protective
gloves when handling damaged batteries.
• The battery must be kept out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around, as there is a risk that children or pets may swallow them.
•
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
d) Laser safety
• When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is
directed so that no one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected
beams (e.g. from reflective objects) cannot be directed into areas where people
are present.
•
Laser radiation can be dangerous if the laser beam or its reflection enters
unprotected eyes. Before using the thermometer, familiarise yourself with the
statutory regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.
• Never look into the laser beam or point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can
cause serious eye damage.
• If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your
head away from the beam.
• If your eyes have been irritated by laser radiation, do not continue to perform
hazardous tasks, such as working with machines, working at heights or working
near to high voltages. Do not drive any vehicles until the irritation has completely
subsided.
•
Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled,
reflected beam may strike people or animals.
•
Never open the device. Configuration or maintenance tasks must only be
completed by a trained specialist who is familiar with the potential hazards.
Improper maintenance work may result in dangerous laser radiation.
• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser signs in different languages
are included with the product. If the sign on the laser is not in your local language,
attach the appropriate sign to the laser.
• Caution: Using equipment or procedures other than those described in these
instructions could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.
Operating instructions
Basetech IR thermometer 350 °C 12:1
Item no. 1586224
Intended use
The infrared thermometer is a measuring device for contactless temperature measurement.
It determines the temperature by infrared energy that is emitted by an object and by its
emissivity. It is especially useful for measuring the temperature of hot, difficult to access or
moving objects. The thermometer measures the surface temperature of an object. It cannot
measure through transparent surfaces such as glass or plastics. The temperature measuring
range is -50 ºC to +350 ºC. A 9 V block battery is required for the voltage supply.
Diagnostic application for medical purposes is not permissible.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the
product for purposes other than those described above may damage the product. In addition,
improper use can cause hazards such as a short circuit or fire. Read the operating instructions
carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available to third parties
together with its operating instructions.
