Display 

The display retains the last infrared measurement for 20 s when the trigger is released and <HOLD> is 
shown on the display. To hold the infrared temperature, release the trigger until <HOLD> shows on 
the display.

Sighting 

5.7.1

 

Dual Laser 

All models use a dual laser method to show the measurement spot position and size. The two laser 
points show the diameter of the spot circle, with the middle laser point as the center of the spot circle. 

5.7.2

 

Red Dot Scope 

The scope models for the Raynger 3i Plus series provide an additional red dot scope; the measurement 
target can be seen through the scope. That aiming system can be used when the laser points are hard 
to see due to the brightness of the target. 
The scope's red dot shows the center of the measuring spot circle, which does not display on the real 
object under measurement. 
The intensity of the field sight can be adjusted by rotating the knob on the top of the instrument while 
keeping the brightness of the red dot. This function is helpful for the user to clearly see the red dot 
position when the instrument is measuring high-temperature objects. 
If  the  scope's red dot  does  not match with the circle of the two laser points, use the following 
adjustment method: 
 

1.

 

Open the two  circular  rubber  caps  on the top of the unit,  and  the scope's two  adjustable 
screws are shown. 

2.

 

Affix the unit to a tripod. 

3.

 

Aim at a target 4 m (13 ft.) off in the distance, like a wall, for viewing the two lasers clearly. 

4.

 

Adjust the two screws on the aiming scope to the center of the two laser points. Please try to 
look straight through the aiming scope. 

5.

 

Remove the unit from the tripod. 

6.

 

Close the two circular rubber caps. 

Warning: Please do not use the unit with the two rubber caps open, since unexpected contact with 
the screws may introduce noise pulse to the units, resulting in noise readings or disorder of the 
display 

5.8

 

Temperature Records 

The  instrument  can store measurement records,  including time, date, emissivity, and measurement 
record numbers. It can store 1,000 records for basic test data, 10 pcs trend display and 300 records for 
profile. 
The following types of data are available: 

 

Basic  test data:

  Test data without a dedicated setting like profile. User can record random 

measurement data in this area with a maximum 1,000 records. 

 

Trend data

 the data saved under trend mode which includes three screens of data with 360 

test values. The data will be saved in a curve format and the user can review the value of each 
test point with PC software. Press <View> to review the trend picture.  User can press up and
