The Display Messages

The high-performance D-Series Microscanner

 continuously monitors its 

ability to pro duce accurate temperature readings. If either the target’s  
temperature or the unit’s ambient temperature exceeds the operational 
limits, the beeper will sound one beep per second and the LED display will 
default to a display message.

For example, the D501 is designed to display temperature only if that  
temperature is within its specified measure ment range. If the target  
temperature is greater than 565°F (296°C), the display will read “HI.”

The battery voltage is also monitored. A low battery is indicated by a double 
beep each second. Temperatures will continue to be displayed as long as 
accuracy can be assured. If the battery drops below 5.7 volts the battery is 
considered “dead” and the display defaults to [----].

If a problem is discovered during the initial self-diagnostic test, the instru-
ment will display an error message (E-01), (E-02), etc. If any (E-##) error 
message is displayed, the unit will not function and must be returned to the 
factory for repair. (See section on Warranty for return instruction).
