Laser Pointer
A pointer beam can be turned
on to indicate the centre of the
measurement area. Press the
centre button to turn on this
function; the laser icon will
appear on the screen.
Note:
The actual measurement
area will depend on the distance
between the unit and the target.
Optical Range (Distance To Spot Ratio)
The 12:1 optical range ratio
refers to the ratio of distance
from surface over measuring
spot diameter. For example if
you measure a surface 120mm
away from the unit, then the
measuring spot will be 10mm in
diameter. For accurate results
the surface you are measuring
should be larger than the spot diameter.
Backlight
The screen can be illuminated
for use in darker areas by
pressing the left light button.
Temperature Units
The temperature can be
displayed in both Celsius and
Fahrenheit. Press the right units
button to toggle between the two.
Note:
The selected display unit
will be shown on the top right of
the screen.
Measuring Temperatures
1. Select the desired measuring units and if required, switch on the
backlight and/or point laser.
2. Hold the tool by its handle and
point it towards the surface to
be measured.
3. Press and hold the trigger to
start measuring the surface
temperature. The real time
value will be displayed on
screen.
Note:
The ‘SCAN’ icon will
appear on screen, indicating that
scanning is occuring.
4. Once the trigger is released,
the last reading will remain on
screen for 10 seconds.
Note:
The ‘HOLD’ icon will
display on screen.
5. After 10 seconds of inactivity, the unit will automatically power off to
conserve power.
Operating Tips
WARNING!
KEEP THE THERMOMETER AT LEAST
7CM AWAY FROM HOT SURFACES TO PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
• For best results, the measurement should be taken as close as
safely possible. Measuring at moderate distances is possible but
other eternal sources of light may affect the reading.
• Before measuring, be sure to clean surfaces that are covered with
frost, oil grime, etc.
• If a surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black
paint prior to measuring.
• Steam, dust, smoke can obscure measurements.
• Measurement cannot be made through transparent surfaces such
as glass, as the surface may skew the measurement.
• Keep the lens of the thermometer clean and free of scratches.
• To improve the accuracy of the results, allow time for the
thermometer to acclimatise to the temperature of the surroundings.
