Display Back-Light Button: Press (
) button to toggle
between turn on and turn off the Back-Light.
Laser Marker Button: Press (
) button to toggle
between turn on and turn off the Laser Marker
annunciator and laser marker beam. Measure Button:
Depress button (6) to turn on the meter for measuring
temperature. Release the button to stop measuring
temperature and automatically hold the display reading,
the meter turns off automatically after 15 seconds.
Auxiliary output: The microphono jack (2.5 mm)
connector output (4) is active as long as the light meter is
turned on.
MEASURING PROCEDURES
1. When the power is off, pressing the (6) button turns on
the power.
2. Use (
) button to select turn on or turn off the
display Back-Light.
3. Use (
) button to select turn on or turn off the Laser Marker.
4. Point the lens at the object whose temperature is to be
measured.
5. Press the (6) button. The display is updated as long as
the (6) button is kept pressed.
6. Aim the laser beam at the object whose temperature is
to be measured.
NOTE: Although the field of measurement (or Field of
View) and the spot almost coincide, actually the field
of measurement corresponds to the diameter for 90%
optical response. The object whose temperature is to
be measured needs to be larger than the measurement
diameter (spot of size) by an adequate margin at least 1.5
to 2 times larger.
7. Read the display.
MAINTENANCE
In Case of Difficulties: In the case of improper operation of the thermometer, first
review the operating instructions for possible errors in operation. Check the condition
of the batteries. The battery “
�
” symbol appears when the voltage falls below the
level where accuracy is guaranteed. Replace the batteries immediately.
Battery Replacement
To replace the batteries ( 4 – AAA) unscrew the battery hatch screw and remove the
old batteries. Install the new batteries observing the diagram in the battery area.
Cleaning Procedure
Gently wipe dirt from the surface of the unit with a soft cloth moistened with
a small amount of water or neutral cleanser. Do not use benzene, alcohol,
acetone, ether, paint thinner, lacquer or ketone solvents on the units, under any
circumstances as these may cause deformation or discoloration.
REPAIR

or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Resellers are not authorized
to extend any other warranty on Amprobe’s behalf. To obtain service during the
warranty period, return the product with proof of purchase to an authorized
Amprobe Test Tools Service Center or to an Amprobe dealer or distributor. See
Repair Section for details. THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY. ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES - WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STAUTORY - INCLUDING IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY,
ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY. Since some states or countries do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or
consequential damages, this limitation of liability may not apply to you.
CERTIFICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• The IR610A instrument is EN60825 Class II –1 mW certified for Laser Safety.
• Do not use any damaged part.
• Do not operate instrument in an explosive atmosphere. It is recommended
that you read the safety and operation instructions before using the infrared
thermometer. The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must
refer to an explanation in this manual.
DANGER
Pressing the button that turns the laser marker 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 object or gas which can
explode.
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 keep or use this unit in an environment where it will be directly illuminated
by sunshine, or where it will be exposed to high temperatures, high humidity or
condensation. If you do, it may be deformed, its insulation may be damaged, or it
may no longer function according to specification due to sensor damage.
• Do not contact the lens against the object whose temperature is to be measured,
or get it dirty, allow it to be scratched, or allow any foreign material to adhere
to it. Doing so may cause errors.
• Do not touch or hold by the front cone. Temperature reading can be affected by
heat from hand.
• If the meter is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature (hot to
cold or cold to hot). Allow 20 minutes for temperature stabilization, before
taking measurement.
• 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 dustproof, so do not use it in a
very dusty or wet environment.
