Exergen DT 1001-RS, DT 1001-LT, DT 1001-LN Operating Modes Model Specific, Non-Contact Scanning

Operating Modes (Model Specific)

•SCAN: In the SCAN mode, the target’s instantaneous tempera-

ture is continuously displayed and updated 10 times per second for as long as you keep the button depressed. After the power button is released, the display will lock on the last temperature measured and hold that reading for 10 seconds.

•MAX: In the MAX (peak hold) mode, the display will lock on the

highest temperature measured for as long as you hold the power button down. Each time a new peak temperature is measured or repeated, an audible beep will sound. After you release the power button, the display will lock on the maximum recorded tempera- ture and hold that reading for 10 seconds.

•MIN: In the MIN (valley hold) mode, the display will lock on the

lowest temperature measured as long as the power button is de- pressed. Each time a new low temperature is measured, a beep will sound. After the power button is released, the display will lock on the minimum recorded temperature and hold that reading for 10 seconds.

Non-Contact Scanning

For situations where even light contact is contraindicated, bring the instrument nose as close to the measuring site as safely possible, keep- ing the following in mind:

The instrument’s field-of-view, also referred to as the distance-to-

spot ratio, is 1:1. A 1:1 field-of-view means that the sensor sees a circular area with a diameter equal to the distance between the sensor and the target area.

For example, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm), the sensor sees a 2 inch (5 cm) diameter spot. The minimum spot size is approxi- mately 1/4 inch (6 mm) when touching.

The DermaTemp averages the temperature of everything in its field-of-view.

A small hot spot may get lost in a large viewing area. The closer you hold the instrument to a surface, the sharper its target resolu- tion.
