Introduction
Compact rugged and easy to use. Just aim and push the button, read current surface temperatures in less than a second. Safety measure surface temperatures of hot or hard to reach objects.
How it works
Any object radiates infrared energy if its temperature is above absolute zero. This energy travels at the speed of light in all directions. An infrared thermometer lens collects and focuses the infrared energy into a sensor. The sensor produces a small voltage output, indexed to the target temperature, which is processed and displayed.
Cautions
The infrared thermometer should be protected from the following:
1.Electromagnetic Fields (created by arc welders induction heaters and similar items.)
2.Thermal Shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes. Allow 30 minutes for unit to stabliize before use.)
3.Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high temperature.
Instructions
1)Pull and hold trigger (laser pointer is on as default setting) to turn on, LCD display reading & battery icon. Release the trigger and the reading will hold for approx. 15 sec.
2)Locating a hot spot: Aim the thermometer outside the area of interest. Scan across the area in an up and down motion until the hot spot is located while holding the activation trigger. The thermometer will continue to read the surface temperature while the activation trigger is depressed.
Note
Holding the trigger at least one second when taking recordings.
Operating
Fahrenheit & Celsius Conversion: Press the °F/°C button to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius readings.
Press the Laser ON/OFF button to turn the laser pointer on or off.
The object being tested should be larger than the spot size calculated by the field of view diagram printed in this manual or on the unit itself.
Laser Pointer
To turn the laser pointer ON, press the LASER key while pressing the Measure key. Repeat the procedure to turn the laser OFF. While the laser is on, you can switch between laser dot and circle by moving a lever in front of the optics. Laser dot is an indication of the center of the field of view. Laser circle is an indication of the perimeter of the field of view
