Never switch the device on immediately after having taken it from a cold to a warm environ-
ment. The condensation that forms might destroy your device. Likewise, the lens may
become misty, which can lead to inaccurate measurements. Allow the device to reach room
temperature before switching it on.
Water vapour, dust, smoke and/or vapours may impair the optical characteristics and lead to
faulty measurements!
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around, since it could become a danger-
ous plaything for children.
On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial
workers’ societies for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed.
In schools, training centres, computer and self-help workshops, the use of measuring instru-
ments and accessories must be supervised by trained personnel in a responsible manner.
When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is directed so
that no one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected beams (e.g. from reflec-
tive objects) cannot be directed into areas where people are present.
Laser radiation can be dangerous, if the laser beam or a reflection enters the unprotected
eye. Therefore, before using the laser equipment, familiarise yourself with the statutory
regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.
Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can
cause eye injuries.
If laser radiation reaches the eyes, the eyes must be closed immediately and the head has to
be moved out of the laser beam.
Should your eyes feel irritated from laser radiation, do not perform any safety-related tasks
such as operating machinery, working at high altitudes or close to high-voltage. Do not drive
any vehicles until the irritation has subsided.
Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled, reflected
beam may strike people or animals.
Never open the device! Adjustment or maintenance tasks must be carried out only by a
trained specialist familiar with potential hazards. Improperly performed adjustments might
result in dangerous laser radiation.
Caution: if operation settings or procedures other than those described in these instructions
are used, it could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.
The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser
signs in different languages are included in the
package. If the sign on the laser is not written in the
language of your country, please affix the appropriate
sign onto the laser.
If you have doubts about how the equipment should
be operated or how to connect it safely, consult a
trained technician.
Please handle the product carefully. The product can
be damaged if crushed, struck or dropped, even from a low height.

European guidelines.
b) Batteries
Remove the batteries, if you are not going to use the device for a while, to prevent damage
from leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause acid burns
upon contact with the skin. Therefore, you should wear protective gloves when handling
damaged batteries.
Keep them out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around. There is a risk
that the batteries may be swallowed by children or pets.
Do not dismantle batteries, do not short-circuit them or throw them into a fire. Never try to
charge batteries. There is a risk of explosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INFRARED THERMOMETER IR 550-12SIP
ITEM NO. 1182019
1. INTENDED USE
The infrared thermometer allows contactless measurement of surface temperatures. It meas-
ures the temperature by means of the infrared energy emitted by each object. Due to the con-
tactless measurement, the product is ideal for dangerous objects, objects that are difficult to
access, moving objects or objects supplied with electrical voltage. It cannot measure through
transparent surfaces such as glass, plastics, water, etc. On the contrary, it always measures
the surface temperature. The temperature measurement range is between -60 to +550 °C. A
dual laser targeting device facilitates the specification of the measurement range.
The thermometer itself must not come in contact with the surface or object to be measured.
Always maintain sufficient safety distance and observe the permitted ambient conditions. The
entire device complies with the IP54 protection class and is proof against dust and splash
water. Immerging and submerging the device in water is not permitted.
Diagnostic application for medical purposes is not admissible.
The device is powered with two Micro batteries (AAA). Do not use any other source of energy
(e.g. rechargeable batteries etc.) than the one specified.
This product complies with the applicable national and European regulations. For safety and
approval reasons (CE), the entire product must not be modified or converted, and the casing
must not be opened for any purpose other than battery replacement. If you use the product
for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged or there might
be a risk of injuries. Please read the operating instructions carefully and keep them. If you
pass the product on to a third party, please hand over these operating instructions as well.
Always observe the safety notes included in these operating instructions.
