Operation and Controls

The DermaTemp infrared thermographic scanner models 1001, 1001 LN, LT and RS are all identical in performance and specifications. All are maximized for ease of use. The remote sensor on the RS version can either be left attached to the instrument for one-handed operation, or separated for use in hard-to-reach areas of interest. The LN and LT models can be used with or without disposable covers

Using the DermaTemp

The DermaTemp is equipped with an ON/OFF power button and a mode selector switch, model specific. The mode selector switch allows you to choose one of the three modes of operation, SCAN, MAX, or MIN. The LT model is designed in a peak select mode, and automatically selects and locks the highest reading when the ON/OFF button is released.

ON/OFF:

To turn the instrument on, depress the red ON/OFF power push but- ton. The single beep will audibly indicate that the instrument is on.

The display will momentarily read 8888, an indication that the microprocessor is performing a self-diagnostic check. Af- ter the test, the unit will measure and dis- play temperature in the selected operat- ing mode for as long as the power button is depressed.

To Lock Reading:

Release the red ON/OFF button to lock reading on display. The single beep will audibly indicate that the display is locked. The DermaTemp will hold the last reading on the display for 10 seconds before it auto- matically turns off.

If you are using a DermaTemp 1001 LT, the highest temperature mea- sured will be retained before automatic turn off.

To Restart:

Depress the button anytime to restart. It is not necessary to wait until the display is clear. The DermaTemp automatically recalibrates each time the button is depressed.
