Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® infrared thermometer. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.
The thermometer is a noncontact infrared thermometer. Simply aim the thermometer at the target and press the ‘Scan key’ to display the surface temperature.
Temperature Reading Operation
Press the ‘Scan key’ to take a temperature reading. The unit will display the temperature of the target for 10 seconds then turn off automatically.
CAUTION!
1.WHEN DEVICE IS IN USE, DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER
2.USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THE LASER.
3.NEVER POINT THE DEVICE TOWARDS ANYONE’S EYES.
4.KEEP OUT OF REACH OF ALL CHILDREN.
Continuous Temperature Reading Operation
1.Press and hold down the “Scan” key.
2.The unit will display continually updated real time temperature readings while the “Scan” key is held down. When the key is released, the last temperature will display for 10 seconds, and then the unit will turn off automatically.
HACCP CHECK
The “HACCP CHECK” feature is incorporated in our thermometer temperature to graphically indicate critical temperature zone. The icons and LED indicators located above the display indicate if a food product is in a safe or unsafe HACCP “Danger Zone” temperature. The green and red LED light will always be lit before the power is turned off.
A Green LED light with a ” 
” icon indicates a safe cool or frozen
condition below 40oF (4oC), while a ” 
” icon indicates a safe holding temperature above 140oF (60oC).
When the temperature is between 40oF (4oC) and 140oF (60oC), the red
LED with a” 
” icon will appear and indicate that the temperature is fallen within the HACCP “Danger Zone” from 40o to 140oF (4~60oC).
°C OR °F MODE
To change the thermometer from ‘°C’ to ‘°F’ or from ‘°F’ to ‘°C’, first turn the instrument on by pressing the ‘Scan key’, then press the ‘Mode key’ one time. The ‘°C’ or ‘°F’ symbol will flash. Press the ‘Scan key’ to change to scale.
EMISSIVITY RANGE
The infrared thermometer is supplied with a default emissivity of 0.95. The emissivity of the thermometer can be changed from 0.05 (5E) to 1 (100E). Changes should only be carried out by experienced personnel. To change the emissivity, firstly turn the instrument on by pressing the ‘Scan’ button, then press the ‘Mode’ button two times for emissivity function. The 95E will flash on the LCD screen, then press the ‘Meas.’ button to adjust the emissivity value, press the ‘Mode’ button again to exit the set up screen. For information relating to the emissivity of specific materials, please contact the nearest retailer. Note: noncontact infrared thermometers are not recommended for use in measuring the temperature of shiny or polished metals.
BAR DISPLAY: The fixed setting range for bar display is 68428°F (20~220°C) and Center=248°F (120°C).
The bar display will be updated comply with the measurement reading changed.
LCD ERROR MESSAGES
The thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:
「 」 ‘Hi’ or ’Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the range of the instrument, ‘Hi’ when higher than +662°F (+350°C) and ‘Lo’ when lower than 67°F
「 」
‘Er2’ is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid changes in the ambient temperature.
「 」 ‘Er3’ is displayed when the ambient temperature of the thermometer EXCEEDS 32°F (0°C) OR +122°F (+50°C). In both cases you should allow plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) for the
「 」 thermometer to stabilize to the working/room temperature.
For all other error messages it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset the thermometer, turn the instrument off, remove the battery and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the
「 」 battery and turn on. If the error message remains, please contact Customer Service for further assistance.
BATTERIES
The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:
‘Battery OK’: | ‘Battery Low’: battery needs to | ‘Battery Exhausted’: |
measurements | be replaced, measurements | measurements are |
are possible | are possible | not possible |
