GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• To operate this device safely, the user must have read and understood these instructions for use before using the device for the first time.
• Observe all safety instructions! Failure to do so may cause harm to you and others.
• Retain all instructions for use, and safety instructions for future reference.
• If you sell or pass the device on, you must also hand over these operating instructions.
• The device must only be used when it functions properly. If the product or part of the product is defective, it must be taken out of operation and disposed of correctly.
• Never use the device in a room where there is a danger of explosion or in the vicinity of flamma-ble liquids or gases.
• Keep children away from the device! Keep the device out of the way of children and other unauthorised persons.
• Do not use for medical purposes.
• Do not open the housing other than battery compartment.

Using battery-operated devices

• Only use batteries approved by the manufacturer.
• Danger of fire! Never charge the batteries.
• Keep batteries away from metal objects that could cause short circuiting when not in use. There is a risk of injuries and fires.
• Fluid can escape from the battery when used incorrectly. Battery fluid may result in skin irritations and burns. Avoid contact! In the event of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Immediately seek the aid of a physician in the event of eye contact.

MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

• The device is intended for using in dry environment.
• Avoid the influence of humidity and dirt as well as direct sun rays.
• Do not operate the device in the proximity of welding machines, induction heaters and other electromagnetic fields.
• Do not expose the device to high temperatures for a longer period of time.
• Symbols appearing on your device may not be removed or covered. Signs on the device that are no longer legible must be replaced immediately.

Handling of laser beams

• Do not look directly into the beam, not even from great distances.
• Never direct the measuring beam towards people, other living creatures or reflecting surfaces.
• Conventional laser glasses do not protect against the dangers of laser beams. They only serve for improved recognition of the laser beam.

MACHINE INFORMATION

Intended use
This device is used for non-contact temperature measurement in permissible temperature range. Operation is only permitted in a dry environment; contact with moisture must be avoided at all times. The operation in the medical area is not allowed. Improper use or modifications to the device or  the use of components that are not tested and approved by the manufacturer may result in unforeseen damage! The device is not suitable for commercial or industrial use.

ASSEMBLY

Changing the batteries

• Open the battery cover (4).
• Connect battery. Pay attention to correct polarity!
• Close battery compartment.

OPERATION

WARNING! Danger of injury due to defective components! The product must only be put into operation if no defects are found. Ensure that any defective parts are replaced before the product is used again.

Check the device:

• Make sure all parts are fitted on the machine firmly.
• Check whether there are any visible defects: broken parts, cracks, etc.

Operation
The device measures the surface temperature of an object. The sensor measures the emitted, reflected and penetrated heat radiation of the object and converts this information into a temperature value.

• Measurements of metallic or shiny surfaces provide inaccurate measuring values.
  As a repair, such surfaces can be covered with matt adhesive tape or faint black paint.

• The laser distance meter is not able to take measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass.

Switch on and off (Fig. A+C)
Hold down the measure button (2) to switch on the Equipment. Equipment will always start in the default reference setting of single measurement mode (9). Hold down the switch off button (4) to switch off the equipment.

Distance and measurement field size
In order to get accurate results, the object to be measured must be greater than the measurement field of the device. The measured temperature is the average temperature of the measured area. The smaller the object, the shorter the distance must be to the device.

Fig. C
The optical resolution (D:S) is 12:1, i. e.: the diameter of the measurement field is 1/12 of the distance to the object:

• A. D = 12 mm, S = 1 mm
• B. D = 60 mm, S = 5 mm
• C D = 240 mm, S = 20 mm

Note: The object to be measured for accurate measurements must be at least double the size of the measurement field.

Measuring
WARNING! Risk of injury due to laser beam! Never direct the measuring beam towards people, other living creatures or reflecting surfaces.

Fig. A and B

• Press the measuring switch (3) or press the [C/F] button (2) to switch the device on
• Press the [C/F] button (2) to switch the display between “°C” and “°F”.
• Press the switch (3) for longer than 0.5 seconds to measure the correct value.
• As long as the switch (3) is being pressed the temperature is measured constantly and “HOLD” disappears from the display.
• As long as the switch (3) is being pressed the highest measured temperature is shown on display as “MAX” (9).
• The last measured temperature and the Max measured temperature is saved when the switch (3) is released and shown on the display on position (8).

To recover the last reading when machine is off, press the [C/F] button.

Switching off

• If no activity occurs the device switches itself off after 22 seconds.
• The low battery icon (10) shows when the power is low.
