MEASUREMENT OPERATION
①
Hold the meter by its
Handle Grip
and point it toward the surface to be measured.
②
Pull and hold the
Trigger
to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the
display does not light.
③
While measuring, the SCAN display icon will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD.
④
While continuing to pull the Trigger:
a.
Push the
Laser
button to turn on the laser pointer. When the laser is on the laser icon will appear on the LCD over the
temperature. Aim the red beam approximately a half inch above the point of test (pressing the Laser button again turns
the laser off).
b.
Select the temperature units (
o
C or
o
F) using the
o
C
and
o
F
buttons.
c.
Push the
Backlight
key to turn on the LCD backlighting function.
⑤
Release the Trigger and the HOLD display icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held.
⑥
The meter will automatically power down after approximately 7 seconds after the trigger is released.
Note: 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
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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
①
As battery power is not sufficient, LCD will display “ ” replacement with one new battery type 9V is required.
②
Open battery cover, then take out the battery from instrument and replace with a new 9-Volt battery and place the battery cover back.

How it Works
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The unit’s optics sense emitted , reflected, and transmitted energy,
which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading which is display
on the unit. In units with a laser, the laser is used for aiming purposes only.
z
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.
z
Distance & Spot Size
As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. See:
Fig: 1
.
z
Locating a hot Spot
To find a hot spot aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you locate hot spot.
