WARNINGS
To ensure the safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death. Retain these instructions for future reference.
WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM.
Class II Laser.

• Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent eye injuries. NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this instrument.
• DO NOT use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.
• DO NOT modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in the emission of hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
• DO NOT use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes, etc. to transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
• This product should not be used in any location that could result in somebody looking at or having their eyes inadvertently irradiated by the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
• This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who have not read and fully understood the instructions.
• The thermometer is NOT intended for use on people or animals.
• DO NOT remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result in serious personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous laser irradiation.
• Discontinue using the instrument immediately if it is acting abnormally.
• There are no user-serviceable parts in this instrument.

CAUTION

• BURN HAZARD. Reflective materials may have a higher actual temperature than the measured temperature.

SAFE PRACTICES

This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable dangers beyond its targeting laser, the objects being measured, as well as the environment in which they reside, can be hazardous.
Common safety practices to follow when operating near temperature-critical environments are:

• Before using this meter, determine if an area is safe, and verify correct operation by measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
To measure temperature with the IR1, aim the meter at the object to be measured, pull trigger 2 and hold it depressed for at least 2 seconds. Releasing the trigger initiates  Data Hold, “HOLD” will show on the display, and the measurement will be held on the display.
If the display shows “OL” or “–OL” following a measurement, this indicates that the surface temperature of the object being measured is either above or below the measurement range of the meter.

TARGETING
The IR1 features a laser 5 to assist in targeting the measurement area. Measurement areas located far away from the meter will be larger than those close to the meter.
The meter is configured with a 10:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement area relative to the distance between the measurement location and the IR sensor 4. Typical diameters of the measurement area as a function of the distance between the meter and the target area are depicted below for 10:1 optical systems (FIG. 1). 

NOTE: Increased distance from the target may affect reading accuracy.
TARGETING LASER
The laser is on when trigger 2 is held and is off when released.
When on, the laser icon ” ” will be visible on the display.
SELECTING A TEMPERATURE SCALE
The default scale is Fahrenheit (°F). To change, loosen the screw in the Battery Compartment Door 3 and push the °F/°C Switch 6 to change to Celsius (°C). Replace the  Battery Compartment Door 3 and tighten the screw to secure, taking care not to over-tighten.

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the indicator is displayed on the LCD, the battery must be replaced.

1. Loosen the screw in the Battery Compartment Door 3 to open.
2. Remove the exhausted 9V battery and dispose of it appropriately.
3. Replace the 9V battery and return Battery Compartment Door 3 and tighten the screw to secure, taking care not to over-tighten.

CLEANING

Be sure the meter is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Take care to keep the sensor lens clean at all times. If required,  loose debris may be removed from the lens using clean compressed air.
The lens may also be cleaned using a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol only. The lens must be allowed to completely dry prior to use.

STORAGE

Remove the battery when the meter is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the meter to return to normal operating conditions before using.
