Instructions for Applying Disposable Covers

Model 1001 LT Only

Start with film perforation at edge of box tongue. Pinch bottom of white ring, push ring over peg.

1

Stop at Perforation

Release pinch, gently pull box away from probe to release film from box. Pinch just below next ring, before per- foration.

2

Rotate instrument into film until probe faces opposite direction, push ring on peg.

3

Release pinch. Pull box slightly away until next white ring is visible. Pinch ring, break film apart at perforation.

Contact vs. Non-Contact Measurements

In using any infrared temperature device, closer is always better, as the field of view increases proportionately to the distance from the surface. Accordingly, for maximum accuracy the probe must contact the sur- face at the point of interest. It does not need to be tightly pressed to the surface; a gentle touch is all that is required.

When contact with the surface is not an option, position the probe within 1/2 inch from the surface of interest. If using a non-contact protocol, the relative temperature indication of the instrument will be accurate.
