1.1. PRELIMINARY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Use the instrument only as specified in this user manual. Improper use may
damage the instrument.
During use and storage, keep the instrument away from direct sunlight or
sources of light, hot surfaces or objects, high temperatures, high humidity
or particularly critical environmental conditions.
After a period of storage under extreme environmental conditions,
let the
instrument resume normal operating conditions before using it
.
Moving the thermometer quickly from a cold to a warm place it may
condense on the focal lens from which infrared radiation is captured. Wait
until condensation is absorbed before taking measurements.
Do not touch the internal focal lens.
Make sure that the target is larger than the unit's spot size. The smaller the
target, the closer you should be to it. When accuracy is critical, make sure
the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
Do not carry out measurements under conditions exceeding the limits
specified in § 7.
Make sure that battery is correctly installed.
Do not carry out any measurement if you notice anomalous conditions such
as breakages, leakages of battery liquid, blind display, etc.
This instrument is not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished
surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).
The instrument cannot measure IR temperature through transparent
surfaces such as glass. The instrument will measure the surface
temperature of the glass instead.
Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can prevent accurate IR measurements.
