Notes

• Infrared measurements
  Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The unit’s optics detect emitted, reflected and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The device’s electronics convert the information into a temperature value that is displayed on the device. In devices with lasers, the laser is only used for aiming.

• Field of view
  Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should approach it. If accuracy is important, the target should be at least twice the size of the unit spot.

• Distance & Spot Size
  As the distance (D) from the object increases, the range (S) measured by the unit becomes larger. See figure under point 4.

• Finding a Hot Spot
  To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area and then scan with an up and down motion until you find the hot spot.

• Notes
  1. do not use the instrument to measure shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminium, etc.).see emissivity The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass. Instead, the surface temperature of the glass is measured.
  3. steam, dust, smoke etc. can prevent accurate measurements as they obstruct the optics of the device. Measuring steam, dust or smoke is not possible with an IR meter because the measuring surface is missing!

• Emissivity
  Emissivity is a term that describes the energy-emitting properties of materials.
  Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidised surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (preset in the unit).
  Measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces will produce inaccurate readings. To compensate for this, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or black paint. Wait until the tape has reached the same temperature as the material underneath. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.

Maintenance

9.1. Care

• Repairs or maintenance are not covered in this manual and should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
• Wipe the casing with a dry cloth from time to time. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on this appliance.
• Only use the parts specified by the manufacturer for maintenance.

9.2. Charging the battery The rechargeable Li-Ion battery is always charged via the USB connection on your device. It doesn’t matter whether the USB cable is connected to the PC or to the included AC power adapter.
The USB power adapter is specified with an AC voltage of 100 V to 240 V and a line frequency of 50 to 60 Hz.
The output voltage is the usual 5V DC voltage for USB connections.
There is a standard USB interface on the back of the adapter, which must be connected to the included USB cable for charging.
The other end of the line must be connected to the mini-USB port in the service flap on your measuring device. The charging process then starts automatically when the battery is inserted.
This is represented by a filling battery icon in the top right corner of the screen.
9.3. Charging the battery via the PC
If the measuring device is connected to a switched-on PC using the supplied USB cable, the Li-Ion battery is automatically charged. This also happens during the data transfer to the PC. The charging time depends on the current of the USB port and varies between USB 2.0 and 3.0.
9.2 Replacing the battery
Under normal conditions, it is not necessary to replace the lithiumion battery. However, if this should become necessary, the replacement can only be carried out by qualified personnel; a Liion battery with the same technical data must be used.
Li-Ion battery used:
Type: 18500
Capacity: 1400 mAh
Rated voltage: 3.7 V
Watt hours: 5.1 Wh
Notification about the Battery Regulation
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries or accumulators built into the device itself.
