exceeds the measuring 
range of the thermometer) 

The status marker

AH

" lights and the 

buzzer sounds. *1 

Is the emissivity rate set too low? 
Set the correct emissivity rate by 
referring to [5.4 Emissivity rate 
setting]. 

 

Low limit over range 
(The object temperature is 
lower than the measuring 
range of the thermometer.) 

The status marker

buzzer sounds. *1 

Is the emissivity rate set too high?
Set the correct emissivity rate by 
referring to [5.4 Emissivity rate setting].

 

Abnormal ambient 
temperature 
(The thermometer is placed 
in the environment other 
than the working 
temperature.) 

Er1 display only 

Use the thermometer in the 
environment from 0 to 50ºC (32 
to 122

o

F).

(Stored data, temperature 
data and calibration data 
have been initialized by the

Re-adjustment is necessary. 
Return the thermometer to us.   
(Stored data and calibration data 
are initialized.)    

 

*1 When the alarm set-point is "

oFF

", no buzzer sounds. 

*2 When the power supply is turned on or when the stored data is displayed, this error code is 

displayed.  

 

7.2 Storage 

 

 
 
 
 

 

7.3 Cleaning of objective lens   

 

Wipe the objective lens periodically with a soft cloth.     

 

 

7.4 Cleaning of external display and eyepiece cover   

 

Clean them periodically with a soft cloth.

 

7. Maintenance and check         

• Don’t store the thermometer at a hot and/or wet place.   
• Make sure to mount the lens cap for storage.   
• Remove the batteries if the thermometer is not used for longer than 2 weeks, 

otherwise the thermometer may become defective due to an electrolyte leak 
failure of the batteries.
