IRT MAX MIN display:
The meter can be set to display only the maximum or minimum temperature measured during an IR
scan.

The MAX or MIN temperature is not stored when the function is exited. The unit
automatically exits MAX/MIN mode after approximately 10 seconds.
IR Field of View
Ensure that the desired target is larger than the spot size. As the distance from an object increases,
the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger. The meter’s field of view ratio is
8:1, meaning that if the meter is 8 inches (cm) from the target, the diameter (spot) of the object
under test must be at least 1 inch (cm). Refer below to the field of view diagram.
WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye.
Low power visible lasers
do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for
extended periods of time.
