A. INTRODUCTION
1.
Congratulations: Thank you for purchasing TPI products. The 383a is
easy to use and built to last. It is backed by a 3 year limited warranty.
2.
Product Description: The 383 is a non-contact and contact temperature
tester with laser sighting to confirm you target. It uses K-type thermo-
couples with sub-mini connector for contact measurements.
B. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Never point the laser beam at someone’s eyes or look directly into the
beam
2.
Use caution when measuring a shiny surface so the laser does not
reflect back into your or someone else’s eyes.
3.
Do not touch the lens to any foreign object.
4.
Do not expose the unit to damp environments for extended periods of
time.
* Depends upon temperature probe range
