Exergen TAT-5000S-RS232

Care and Maintenance

•  Handling:

 The TemporalScanner is designed 

and built to industrial durability standards in 
order to provide long and trouble-free service.  
However, it is also a high precision optical 
instrument, and should be accorded the same 
degree of care in handling as you would 
provide other precision optical instruments, 
such as cameras or otoscopes.

•  Cleaning the case: 

The TemporalScanner 

case can be wiped down using a cloth 
dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol.  The 
industrial grade housing and design of the 
electronic components allow for completely 
safe cleaning with 70% isopropyl alcohol but 

should not be immersed in fluid or autoclaved.

•  Cleaning the sensor lens:

 With normal use, 

the only maintenance required is to keep 
the lens on the end of the probe clean.  It is 
made of special mirror-like, silicon infrared-
transmitting material.  However, dirt, greasy 

films or moisture on the lens will interfere with 

the passage of infrared heat and affect the 

accuracy of the instrument.  Regularly clean 
the lens with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol 
in accordance with the instruction label on 
the instrument (see below).  Use only light 
force for cleaning, to avoid damaging the lens.  
Water can be used to remove any residual 

film left by the alcohol.  Do not use bleach or 

other cleaning solutions on the sensor lens.

•  Sterilization:

 Sterilization is not 

recommended for cabled versions of the 
TemporalScanner.

•  Calibration:

 Factory calibration data is 

installed via a computer which communicates 
with the TemporalScanner’s microprocessor.  
The instrument automatically self-calibrates 
each time it is turned on using this data, and 
will never require recalibration.  If readings are 
not correct, the instrument should be returned 
for repair.

•  Battery:

 A standard alkaline 9V battery 

provides approximately 15,000 readings.*  
To replace, insert the end of a bent paper 
clip into the pinhole on the side of the unit 
to release the battery compartment door. 
Disconnect the old battery and replace with 
a new one in the same location. Replace the 
cover. Use only high quality alkaline batteries.

* Approximate number of readings when scanning for 
5 seconds and reading the temperature display for 3 

seconds before turning thermometer off.

DO NOT SUBMERSE THE THERMOMETER  
IN ANY CLEANING SOLUTION.
