4. Measurement Considerations
Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR sensor toward the
object whose temperature is to be measured.
The
meter
automatically compensates
for
temperature
deviations from ambient temperature. Keep in mind that it will
take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide ambient temperature
changes. When low temperatures are to be measured followed
by high temperature measurements some time (several minutes)
is required after the low (and before the high) temperature
measurements are made.
This is a result of the cooling process which must take place for
the IR sensor.
5. Non-Contact IR Measurement Operation
5.1. Power ON/OFF
1. Press the
ON/HOLD
(8.) key to take a reading. Read the
measured temperature on the LCD.
2. The meter powers OFF automatically approximately 7 seconds
after the
ON/HOLD
key is released
5.2. Selecting Temperature Units (°C/°F)
1. Select temperature units (degrees °C or °F) by first pressing the
ON/HOLD
(8.) key and then pressing the °C or °F key. The unit
will be seen on the LCD
