2.3.4Using the Distance Function

CAUTION

 

• There should be a clean, open line of sight from the distance

LCK

device to the target, otherwise an erroneous reading will result.

 

• For accurate distance measurement readings, the surface

 

must be hard, flat, and reflective to ultrasonic pulse.

Distance measurement can not be taken through glass, or off of soft and padded surfaces, or through smoke or fog.

The distance measurement unit must be held perpendicular to the target surface.

The distance measurement unit is designed for indoor use only.

Accuracy of the distance measurement unit will vary depending on environmental conditions.

Do not aim the distance measurement unit at a person.

The thermometer provides distance measurement as an option. This function is either built-in or field mountable. The field mountable version (HH-DM) mounts on top of the thermometer and is a stand-alone device. It operates independently of the thermometer. Model HH-DM operates from a 9Vdc

battery. Press the

 

key to measure distance. Press and hold the

C

key

 

OFF

 

for about 2 seconds to convert distance from Feet to Meters or vise versa. Press

the same

C

key to turn off the device or it will turn itself off in about 7

OFF

minutes.
