• However, keep sufficient distance to avoid faulty measurement due to the IR thermometer
heating.
• Example: At a distance of 120 cm the measurement diameter is 6 cm.
d) Target laser
• The target laser can be switched on and off. Press and hold the backlight/laser button.
• When the laser is activate, the laser symbol appears on the display.
• Press the backlight/laser button again to deactivate the target laser. The laser symbol
disappears.
e) Backlight
When the device is on, press the backlight/laser button to turn the display backlight on/off.
f) Maximum, minimum, differential and average measurement
function
• When the measuring button is released, the last measured value is frozen on the display. The
standby indicator HOLD lights up on the display.
• Repeatedly press the MODE button. One of the following indicators and the associated
measured value appears on the display:
MAX: Highest measured value of the last measurement.
MIN: Lowest measured value of the last measurement.
AVG: Average value of the last measurement.
DIF: Difference between highest and lowest measured value of the last measurement.
These values always refer to IR measurement, not to contact measurement.
g) Bar graph
• The bar graph can be used to graphically view the current measured value in relation to the
MIN/MAX values. The left end represents the MIN value of the current measurement, the
right end the MAX value.
• Example: The MIN value is 0 °C and the MAX value +100 °C. The current measurement is
+50 °C. In this case the bar graph deflects to the middle of the display.
