HTC MT-4/MT-6 Infrared Thermometer
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of our professional non-contact infrared thermometers. These units can provide fast, easy and accurate temperature readings. With the non-contact (infrared) technology, they can be used to measure the surface temperature of hard-to-reach objects like electrified equipment or moving objects, without any damage or pollution to them.
Features
- Fast and easy measurement
- Precise non-contact measurement
- The built-in laser pointer increases the target accuracy
- Max/Min Record
- Backlight LCD display
- Emissivity adjustable from 0.1~1.0
- Automatic measurement range selection with resolution 0.1℃/℉
- Automatic trigger off
- Auto power off
Application
These units are widely used in Food preparation, Safety and Fire inspection, Plastic molding, Asphalt, Marine, Printing ink and dryer temperature, Diesel and Fleet maintenance.
Safety
- Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on.
- Do not point the beam toward anyone or any animals.
- Do not allow the beam to strike the eye from a reflective surface.
- Do not use the laser near explosive gases.
- Safety Symbol
Field of View
The meter’s field of view is 12:1, for example, if the meter is 12 inches from the target spot, the diameter of the target must be at least 1 inch. Other distance ratios are show below in the field of view diagram.

Operating Instruction
Operating steps:
- Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it toward the surface to be measured.
- Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on, the “SCAN” icon will appear and begin testing.
- The surface temperature being tested will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- Release the trigger, the “HOLD” icon will appear, and the reading will be hold for several seconds.
- The meter will automatically shut off after 20 seconds.
Measurement Note:
If the meter used in an ambient temperature with wide temperature change, allow it at least 30 minutes to adjust to it. The laser is designed for aiming only; it can be shut off while operating in short distance to save the battery.

Notes
Work Principle
- The infrared thermometer is designed for measuring surface temperature of an object.
- The optical sensor can emit, reflect and transmit energy, which is collected and focused on a detector, then translate it into the temperature reading by electronics and displayed on the LCD screen.
- The laser is used for aiming the target object only.
Field of View
- The object under test should be larger than the spot size calculated by the field of view diagram.
- The smaller the target object is, the closer the meter should be to it for accurate measuring.
- When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
Distance & Spot Size
As distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area
measured by the unit becomes larger.
Locating a hot spot
To find a hot spot, first aim the thermometer to the outside of target area,
then scan across in an up and down
Notice
- Not recommend for measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces like stainless steel, aluminum, etc.
- Do not make measurements through a transparent surface such as glass.
- If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before taking measurements.
Maintenance
- Do not use volatile liquids to clean the unit, swipe it with dry soft cloth.
- Do not disassemble the unit, repair it by qualified personnel
- Do not immerse it in water.
- Do not store it in high temperature or humidity.
