Distance-to-target ratio

The distance-to-target ratio of the meter is 4:1. This means that the distance is 4 times wider than the diameter of the measuring spot itself. Example: If your measuring distance is 8 m, the measuring spot will have a diameter of 2 meters.

Distance(D) to Spot Size(S)

D:S = 4:1

Measurement

Infrared measurement

Power on the meter by pressing the TC or IR key. Press and hold the IR key to make a noncontact temperature measurement via infrared. The non-contact measurement is completed when the IR key is released. The Hold icon will appear below the temperature unit.

Contact measurement with penetration sensor

Power on the meter by pressing the TC or IR key. Short-press the TC key to make a measurement with the penetration sensor. As long as a measurement is made with the penetration sensor, no Hold icon will be displayed below the temperature unit.

Note: Making a measurement via infrared and with the contact sensor at the same time is not possible.

Turn off meter

To turn off the meter, press and hold the MODE key until the meter turns off.

Settings

Changing the unit

You can set the unit during a measurement by pressing the SET key. You can select °C or °F.

Max, Min, Lock mode / setting the emissivity

Enter the menu by pressing the MODE key. To select other menu items, press the MODE key again. The menu is arranged as follows:

Function	Description
MAX	As long as “MAX“ is displayed, only the highest value will be shown
MIN	As long as “MIN“ is displayed, only the lowest value will be shown
LOCK	As long as “LOCK“ is displayed, the infrared measurement is continuous
Emissivity	Here you can set the emissivity value with the SET key

To leave the menu, press the MODE key again.

Important:
The menu only applies to the infrared measurement. There is no separate menu for the penetration sensor.
