INTENDED USE
The IR-260-8S is a device for non-contact temperature measurement, which uses the infrared
energy emitted by an object to determine the temperature. The IR-260-8S thermometer is ideal
for measuring the temperature of hot, hard-to-reach, or moving objects. It measures the surface
temperature of an object. However, it cannot make measurements through transparent surfaces
such as glass or plastic. The thermometer has a temperature range of -30ºC to 260ºC. Power is
supplied by a 9 V battery.
Measurements must not be carried out under unfavourable ambient conditions. Adverse ambient
conditions include:
• Moisture or excessive humidity
• Dust or combustible gases, vapours or solvents
• Thunderstorms or conditions as during a storm (e.g. strong electrostatic fi elds should be avoided)
This product fulfils European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compa-
tibility (EMC). CE conformity has been verified and the relevant statements and documents
have been deposited at the manufacturer.
Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety and
approval reasons (CE). Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage the
product and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Please read the
