BODY TEMPERATURE
MEASUREMENT PROCESS
1.
Approach the front of the kiosk until your face fits the designated area on the screen. The
ideal distance for measuring the temperature of an individual is 20 inches (50 cm).
2.
After 1–3 seconds, the screen will display your temperature reading. When a normal
temperature is detected, a message will tell the user if they have a normal temperature.
3.
When a high temperature is detected, the photo flood lamp will turn red and an alarm will
sound for a few seconds.
4.
You can toggle the temperature threshold and other settings in the application.
1.
Body temperature varies from person to person and fluctuates during the course of the
day. For this reason, it is suggested to know one’s normal, healthy forehead temperature to
accurately determine the temperature.
2.
Reading times may differ according to skin tone, measurement distance, and lighting
conditions.
3.
Different measurement methods may give different readings. Therefore, you should
compare your readings from the PMK to an IR forehead thermometer.
4.
Instances that can affect the temperature reading of an individual:
○
Wearing glasses
○
Hair covering the forehead
○
Hats and other head coverings
○
Direct sunlight on the kiosk or user
○
Medical conditions that raise the surface temperature of the face
5.
If an abnormal temperature is detected on an individual that has just come inside, please
wait at least 3 minutes before taking another measurement.
