WIDE RANGING APPLICATION:
Food preparation, Safety and Fire inspectors, Plastic molding, Asphalt, Marine and Screen printing,
measure ink and Dryer temperature, HVAC/R, Diesel and Fleet maintenance.
SAFETY
Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on.
Do not let the beam enter your eyes, another person’s eyes or the eyes
of an animal.
Be careful not to let the beam on a reflective surface strike your eye.
Do not allow the laser light beam impinge on any gas which can explode.
Note:
This mini infrared thermometer should not be used for medical or
veterinary purposes due to:
Risk of the laser pointer entering the subjects’ eyes (serious damage to the eye can occur).
This thermometer accurately measures surface temperature, the surface temperature of a
subjects skin will vary from that of their core temperature.
DISTANCE & SPOT SIZE
As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit
becomes larger. The relationship between distance and spot size for each unit is listed below. The
focal point for each unit is 914mm (36”). The spot sizes indicate 90% encircled energy.

Note:
Field of View
: 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.
