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.

DT 1001-LN, DT 1001-RS, DT 1001, DT 1001-LT specifications

The Exergen DT 1001 series, consisting of the DT 1001-LN, DT 1001, DT 1001-RS, and DT 1001-LT, represents a cutting-edge advancement in non-invasive infrared thermometry technology. These models are designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement across various settings, making them invaluable tools for healthcare professionals, educators, and individuals monitoring their own health.

A standout feature of the Exergen DT 1001 series is its precision in measuring core body temperature. Utilizing patented infrared technology, these devices detect the thermal radiation emitted by the temporal artery, thus providing an accurate representation of internal body temperature. This non-invasive method is not only safe but also quick, as it can yield results within seconds, making it ideal for both clinical environments and home use.

The DT 1001 series emphasizes ease of use. Equipped with a simple one-button operation, even individuals without technical training can operate the device effectively. The easy-to-read digital display provides clear temperature readings, which can often be coupled with visual and auditory alerts for fever detection, enhancing user experience.

Further enhancing user convenience is the memory function of the DT 1001 series. These models can store multiple readings, allowing users to track temperature trends over time. This feature is particularly useful in monitoring patients with fevers or chronic health issues where regular temperature checks are necessary.

The DT 1001-LN and DT 1001-LT are distinguished by their lightweight and portable design, making them suitable for on-the-go temperature checks. Conversely, the DT 1001-RS is optimized for clinical settings, featuring enhanced durability and robust performance under frequent usage.

Each model has been rigorously validated to meet clinical standards, ensuring that healthcare practitioners can rely on their accuracy. With their advanced technology, user-friendly design, and versatility, the Exergen DT 1001 series stands out as a leading choice in the realm of non-contact thermometers, promoting effective health monitoring for a wide range of users. Their continued popularity highlights a significant trend in modern healthcare towards efficient, precise, and non-invasive diagnostic tools.
