6 – Measurement Procedure
6.1 – Switching on the Instrument
The instrument will switch on automatically, simply pressing the measurement trigger (Ref. Chap.3 – Pos.9).
Note: Be sure the instrument has got its battery and that the battery is charge
6.2 – Light SCAN Measurement Active
The instrument advice the measurement active, visualizing on the display the abbreviation SCAN (Ref. Chap.4
– Pos.1), typically with pressed trigger.
6.3 – Light HOLD Measurement not Active
The instrument, through the abbreviation HOLD (Ref.Chap.4 – Pos.2) advice that the measurement is not
active and it is visualizing the last measured value, this condition comes releasing the measurement trigger.
6.4 – Automatic Switching Off (Power Saving)
The instrument switches off automatically if the trigger is released and any other key is pressed in 7 seconds.
Attention!!!
6.5 – Important Considerations for the Measurements
A) keep always well pointed the instrument on the body to be measured, keeping attention that the product and/or the
material to be measured was compatible with the instrument, and over all that the distance of the TARGET is such that the
SPOT should be completely covered, in fact we remind that in case of partial covering, the instrument make anyway the
measurement making a thermal average of the surface, in case even one single part of the SPOT would be with a different
temperature and outside the body to be measured, the result would be in proportion distorted.
B) the measurement infrared sensor needs the environmental temperature compensation, which the instrument makes
automatically, but to obtain reliable measurements it is necessary to allow to the instrument to adapt itself thermally to the
environment where it is, especially if before it was in a place with different temperature, in this case it is necessary to place
the instrument where we intend to make the measurement, and wait at least 30 minutes for its stabilization, and only after
that going on with the measurement.
7 – Battery Substitution
7.1 – When on the display will appear the abbreviation (Low
Battery) it means that the battery is flat (Chap.4 – Point 12)
since this moment the measurements are not reliable
anymore even if the instrument go on working, and it is
necessary to change it with a new one, or load them again if
the instrument is furnished by the optional rechargeable
battery.
7.2 – Open the cover of the battery room making it roll
ahaead, as indicated by the picture on the side (Chap. 3 -
Ref. 10), take out the flat battery, putting in the new one
making attention to connect the right polarity.
Attention: After having taken out the old battery, check always that the room is clean, and that there are no
trail of acid from the old battery, in case you can see even little traces of acid, remove them immediately with a
dry brush and send the instrument in repair to CEAM service to avoid that the acid contamination would
corrode also the circuit making the instrument useless.
