•
Please take particular note of the safety advice!
•
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
2. Field of operation and all the benefits of your new instrument at a glance
• For contact-free measuring of surface temperature even of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-
reach objects.
3. For your safety
• This product is exclusively intended for the field of application described above. It should
only be used as described within these instructions.
• Unauthorized repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited and might
result in dangerous laser radiation
• The product is not recommended for taking body temperature.
Caution!
Risk of injury:
• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. If the sign on the device is not written in the
language of your country, please affix the sign below onto the device.
• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled
reflected beam may strike people or animals.
• Do not aim too close at hot or dangerous targets.
• Keep this instrument and the batteries out of the reach of children.
• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swal-
lowed, this can lead to serious internal burns and death within two hours. If you suspect
a battery could have been swallowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help
immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of
explosion!
• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leak-
ing.
• Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and safety glasses when handling leaking bat-
teries.
Important information on product safety!
• Do not place your product near extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks.
• Protect the unit from large or abrupt ambient temperature changes.
• Do not leave the unit near objects of high temperature.
• Do not immerse the unit in water. Water can penetrate and cause malfunction.
• Protect it from moisture.
• Check the housing before using the device. Do not use the device if it seems to be dam-
aged. Check for cracks or missing plastic parts.
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s
optics.
EMC/RFI
• Protect the unit from EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) from induction heaters and
microwave ovens and Electro Static Discharge. Readings may be affected if the unit is
operated within a radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts
per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
4. Getting started
• Open the battery compartment.
• The battery compartment is inside the handle. Lift the battery compartment lid.
• Insert the 9 volt battery. Ensure that the battery polarity is correct.
• The °C/°F slide is located above the battery.
• To change the temperature display from °C (default) to °F, slide the °C/°F slide with a
pointed object to the right.
• he temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
• Put the battery back into the battery compartment. Please pay attention to the connection
wires.
• Close the battery compartment again. The cover is properly inserted in the housing, as
soon as a click is heard.
5. Use
• Press and hold the measuring button activate the measuring process. SCAN appears on
the display.
• The backlight is automatically activated.
• With the laser the measuring point can be focused exactly.
• Release the measuring button.
• On the display appears HOLD and the latest measured temperature for about 10 seconds.
• When the device is not used, it will automatically switch off after 10 seconds.
6. Distance, Spot Size, and Field of View
• As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by
the unit becomes larger a ratio D:S = 12:1 (e.g. 120 cm distance = 10 cm spot size). To
get the most accurate temperature reading, aim at the target as near as possible.
• Should the distance be too great, there is a risk that the temperature has also been taken
outside the aimed target.
Please take note of the following:
• Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel,
aluminum, etc.).
ATTENTION: LASER CLASS II
Never look directly into the laser beam.
Do not direct the laser beam into the eyes of a person or animal.
It can cause permanent damage to the eye.
Wavelength: 630-670nm Output: <1mW
