Taking Measurements

To take a temperature measurement using your INF195C, 

you simply point the aperture at an object (with or without 

using the laser sighting) and pull the trigger. The object’s  

temperature will show up on the display and update at a rate 

of approximately 2 times per second.

There will be a delay of approximately one-second between 

the time you initially pull the trigger and the time the display 

comes on. The 60-second auto-hold initiates at the moment 

you release the trigger. 

NOTE:

 

This thermometer will automatically shut off if left 

idle for more than 60 seconds, unless in PRB mode. When in 

PRB mode, instrument will shut off if left idle for more than 

12 minutes.

Follow these general guidelines to ensure you get the most 

accurate readings possible:

     •  Be sure the measured object fills the “spot” seen by  
   the 

laser targeting. The distance to spot ratio for the  

    INF195C is 12:1.

This shows the one-foot spot fitting within the one-foot tar-

get area. At this distance, and anything closer, the  

target’s temperature will be accurately measured. 

NOTE:

 

If the two-foot diameter spot includes unwanted 

objects in the background that are not part of the  

one-foot square target: the temperature of the  

background objects will be figured in with the target’s tem-

perature and throw off your measurement.

   •  When comparing temperatures of similar objects  

    that are far away, take your measurements at the  

    same distance and angle to the target each time. 

     •  When looking for abnormally hot or cold targets it  

    may be acceptable to include background objects  

    so long as the temperatures in the background  

    and your methods are consistent.

     •  Consider the emissivity of the objects you   

    are measuring.

     •  Prepare a surface for measurement. Infrared  

    thermometers measure only the outer surface of  

    an object. If emissivity is affecting the 

    measurement, or you have difficulty putting the  

 

  object in the sensors line-of-site, you may need to 

    prepare a surface that’s easy for the infrared  

 

  thermometer to read. A piece of masking tape is a    

  good target and it will rapidly take on the 

    temperature of the object it is attached to. 

     •  Be aware that you cannot measure the  

    temperature of air between the Infrared  

    thermometer and an object. Air vents (registers)  

    are quick to take on the temperature of outlet air.  

    However, you must aim directly at the vent if you  

    are measuring outlet air temperature.

     •  Keep your infrared thermometer away  from  

    strong electrical fields. When working near a  

    strong electrical field, like that under the hood of  

    your car, watch for unusual readings or an “over 

    load” indication. Often, you can move the  

    thermometer just a few inches to escape the  

    influence of the interference.

     •  Keep your INF195C within its use and storage   

    temperature range. Excessive heat or cold will  

    adversely affect the accuracy of your readings.  

    When the trigger is pulled, the target’s 

    temperature will be displayed in a near real-time    

  mode (less than 1/2 second between 

    measurements). The temperature will remain  

 

  on the display for seven seconds after the trigger    

   is released.

 

Emissivity

  Not all surfaces emit infrared energy at the same    

level.  A shiny surface will emit much less infrared  

 

energy at a given temperature when compared to  

 

a flat black surface. The INF195C has three preset  

 

emissivity levels used to compensate for variances  

 

in your target.

  High (0.95) will work for most common surfaces  

 

and is set as default for many infrared 

  thermometers.  Medium (070) is best for oxidized  

 

copper or rusty iron.  Use Low (0.30) for surfaces  

 

that emit less energy  such as aluminum or brass. 

 

Mode and Functions

Press the “

MODE

” push-button will scroll through the 

following options:

 :  Emissivity data. (The default emissivity  

 

  is 0.95)

 :  Press the “

MODE

” push-button, then press  

 

  “     “ or “      “ push-buttons to set the  

 

  emissivity, then press the “MODE” push- 

 

  button again to confirm it. The emissivity    

 

can be changed between 0.30, 0.70 and  

 

 0.95.

 :  Press the “

MODE

” push-button for the  

 

  maximum (

MAX

), minimum (

MIN

), differential  

 

  between MAX and MIN (

DIF

) and average  

 

 (

AVG

) modes. During the measurement,  

 

  the special modes reading will be displayed  

 

  at the bottom of the display near the  

 

  mode icon.

 :  Press the “     “ or “      “ push-buttons to  

 

  change the “High Alarm” (

HAL

) or  

 

  “Lo Alarm” (

LAL

), then press the trigger to  

 

  confirm it. For example: when the reading  

 

  81˚F < LAL 81.1˚F, the low “Lo Alarm” icon  

 

  will flash and you will hear a beep sound.

 :  Connect the thermocouple to the  

 

  thermocouple socket and apply the probes  

 

  to the target being measured. The  

 

  thermometer will display the temperature  

 

  automatically without pressing any buttons.  

 

  To see the minimum or maximum data  

 

  during the probe measurement, please hold  

 

  down the “     “ or “      “ push-buttons.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

” is used to 

indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical haz-
ards to the user. The word “

CAUTION

” is used to indicate 

conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

NOTE

The INF195C is not recommended for use on
