4. Measurement Considerations
Holding the meter by it’s handle, point the IR sensor
toward the object whose temperature is to be measured.
The meter automatically compensates for temperature
deviations from ambient temperature. Keep in mind that it
will take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide ambient
temperature changes. When low temperatures are to be
measured followed by high temperature measurements
some time (several minutes) is required after the low (and
before the high) temperature measurements are made.
This is a result of the cooling process which must take
place for the IR sensor.
5. Non-Contact IR Measurement Operation
5.1. Power ON/OFF
1. Press the
ON/HOLD
key to take a reading. Read the
measured temperature on the LCD.
2. The meter powers OFF automatically approximately 7
seconds after the ON/HOLD key is released.
5.2. Selecting Temperature Units (°C/°F)
1. Select temperature units (degrees °C or °F) by first
pressing the
ON/HOLD
key and then pressing the °C
or °F key. The unit will be seen on the LCD
