Extreme heat may damage the instrument. Never leave the instrument in an area
exposed to extreme heat. Doing so may cause measuring inaccuracy, deformation of the
casing or operation failure.
If the instrument is used in an environment subject to electrical noise, display quality
may be unstable and measurement errors may be relatively large.
Do not use this instrument in a dusty environment. Dust on laser lens can cause
measurement errors. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth soaked in lens cleanser for camera
and wipe it clean with dry cloth. Please cover the lens when the instrument is not in use.
This instrument is designed for use at ambient temperature from 0 to 50ºC and humidity
not exceeding 85%RH (with no condensation). Use this instrument at ambient conditions
of these ranges.
This instrument conforms to Equipment Category I, Pollution Level 2. This instrument
should not be used at altitudes above 2000 meters.
Infrared spectra used in this instrument cannot transmit the glass. If glass is interposed
between this instrument and the subject, this instrument will measure the surface
temperature of the glass rather than the temperature of the subject.
Rapid change in ambient temperature may adversely affect measurement results. Allow
about 30 minutes for the instrument to reach ambient temperature before measurement.
When setting a new emissivity value, be sure to press the
button to register the
setting into memory. (If you do not press the
button, the previous emissivity
setting will remain in effect.)
Remove batteries if you plan to leave the instrument unused for a long period of time.
This avoids the risk of battery leakage that could damage the instrument.
Keep battery out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek a medical attention
immediately.
Dispose the used battery according to your local rules and regulations.
Do not wash or wipe this unit with alcohol, thinner, or any other solvents. If the unit gets
dirty, wipe it with a tightly wrung towel that has been dipped in warm detergent water.

Overview
The SK-8100 series thermometers are non-contact type infrared thermometers, which
detect the infrared energy from an object and convert it into a temperature reading. These
are capable of taking instant measurement of a surface temperature without touching the
object.
