INSTRUMENT OPERATION
- Simply aim the RayTemp 8 Infrared (IR) Thermometer at the
target and press the trigger to measure the surface temperature. The scan icon '
' will be
displayed. When the trigger is released the reading is automatically held for 60 seconds and
'HOLD' will be displayed, after which the thermometer will shut down.
MEASUREMENT ZONE/TARGET DISTANCE
- The measurement zone is proportional to the
distance the RayTemp is away from the target. The RayTemp 8 is equipped with a 12:1 lens. If
the target is 60 cm (24 ") away the measurement zone will be 5 cm (2 ") across.
EMISSIVITY
- The RayTemp 8 has a default emissivity of 0.95 but is adjustable from 0.10 to
1.00. The closer the emissivity value is set to the actual emissivity value of the object being
measured, the more accurate the readings will be. To adjust the emissivity press the MODE
button so that 'E' is display, press the button again so that '
' is displayed. Use the UP
and DOWN buttons to set the emissivity required.
Please note:
non-contact infrared
thermometers are not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished surfaces.
LASER POINTER
- The circular laser function can be turned on or off by pressing the trigger
and simultaneously pressing the °C/°F button whilst the trigger is being pressed. The centre
of the measurement zone is 14 mm (approximately ½ ") above the lowest laser dot with the
instrument held in a horizontal position. For safety, the laser pointer will only activate when
the trigger button is pressed. The laser module is a Class 3 device that has a maximum
power output of less than 5 mW at a wavelength of 660 nm. Prolonged, continuous
exposure, such as staring at the beam, can be harmful and should be avoided. DO NOT look
at the beam of any optical instrument.
LCD BACKLIGHT
- The LCD backlight function can be turned on or off by pressing the
trigger and simultaneously pressing the LOCK button whilst the trigger is being pressed.
The backlight icon '
' will be shown to indicate on or off.
UNDER RANGE/OVER RANGE
- If the measured temperature goes below or above the
range of the instrument, 'Er' will be displayed. When the measured temperature returns
within the range of the instrument, readings will automatically be displayed.
THERMOCOUPLE PROBE/SENSORS
- To display the thermocouple probe temperature,
press the MODE button until 'PRB' is displayed. If the thermocouple breaks or is not
connected, the instrument will display 'noP'. The RayTemp 8 should only be used with
thermocouple type K nickel-chromium/nickel-aluminium probes or sensors that meet BS
