INFRARED GUN THERMOMETER
IR88

INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a portable easy to use 3½ digit, compact-sized digital infrared
thermometer with laser sighting designed for simple one hand operation. The
meter comes with a backlit LCD display, Auto-Hold function and auto power down
(10 seconds approx.) after releasing Trigger to extend battery life.
Safety Information
It is recommended that you read the safety and operation instructions before
using the infrared thermometer.
EMC/RFI Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within a radio
frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 9 volts per meter. The
performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
DANGER
Pressing the Trigger turns the laser beam on and off. Exercise extreme care
and do not allow the laser beam to enter your eye or those of any other person
or animal.
•
Do not look directly into the laser light.
•
When measuring the temperature of an object which has a mirror finish,
be careful not to allow the laser light beam to be reflected off the surface
into your eyes or those of another person.
•
Do not allow the laser light beam to impinge upon any gas which can
explode.
•
Replace cap after use.

CAUTION
•
Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong electromagnetic
radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these may cause errors.
•
Do not use the unit where it may be exposed to corrosive or explosive gases.
The unit may be damaged, or explosion may occur.
•
Do not keep or use this unit in an environment where in will be directly
illuminated by sunshine, or where in will be exposed to high temperatures,
high humidity or condensation, as its insulation may be damaged,
or it may no longer function according to specification.
•
Do not point the lens at the sun or at any other source of strong light, as, the
sensor may be damaged.
•
Be sure to avoid contact between the lens of the thermometer and the object
being tested. Do not allow the lens to become dirty or scratched. Doing so will
cause errors.
•
Do not touch or hold by the front case. Temperature reading can be affected
by heat from hands.
•
Do not place the meter on or around hot objects(70°C/158°F). It may cause
damage to the case.
•
If the meter is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature (hot to
cold or cold to hot), allow 20 minutes for temperature stabilisation, before
taking measurements.
•
Condensation may form on the lens when going from a cold to hot
environment. Wait 10 minutes for condensation to dissipate before taking
measurements.
•
This unit is not constructed to be water proof or dust proof. Do not use in
a very dusty environment or in one where it will get wet.
