Introduction

This infrared thermometer is used for measuring the tem- perature of the object’s surface, which is applicable for va- rious hot, hazardous or hard- toreach objects without contact safely and quickly.
This unit consist of Optics, Temperature Sensor Signal amplifier, Processing circuit and LCD Display. The Optics collected the infrared energy emitted by object and focus onto the Sensor. Then the sensor translates the energy into an electricity signal. This signal will be tumed out to be digital shown on the LCD after the signal amplifier and processing circuit.

Warning & Cautions

1. Warning:
   To avoid the potential situation may cause harm or dam- age to people, please pay attention to the following items:
   1). Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflec- tive surfaces.
   2). The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass or plastic. It will measure the surface tem- perature of these materials instead.
   3). Steam, dust, smoke, or other particles can prevent acc- urate measurement by obstructing by the units optics.

2. Cautions:
   infrared thermometer should be protected for the following:
   1). EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders, induction heaters.
   2). Thermal shock (cause by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes allow 30 minutes for unit to stabilize before use).
   3). Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high temperature.

Distance to spot size

1. When take measurement, pay attention to the Distance to Spot Size. As the Distance (D) from the target surface increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger.
The Distance to Spot size of the unit is 12:1. (Figure 1)2. Field of view:
Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s spot size.
The smaller the target the closer measure distance.
When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
Emissivity: Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95(preset in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate for this, adjust the units emissivity reading or cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint.
Measure the tape or painted surface when the tape or painted reach the same temperature as the material underneath.

Operation

1. Operating the unit : Figure 2

1. Open the battery door and insert the battery.
2. Pull the trigger to turn on the unit;
3. Aim at the target surface and pull the trigger, then temp-erature will be shown on the LCD.2. Locating a Hot Spot : Figure 3
   To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you locate the hot spot.

(2) key for switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit as well as the up-folling view for emissivity and self calibration.
(3) Mode switch key:press Mode key to switch modes in tum among MAX—MIN—AT—EMS~—>CAL —MEAS-URING INTERFACE
a. MAX: measuring maximum temperature
b. MIN: measuring minimum temperature
Note: In measuring, hoid on the Mode key to swtich to Max or Min review.
c. AT: current environment temperature
d. EMS: emissivity that can be set between 0.10 and 1.00 with the °C / F key and laser locating key
e. CAL: Under self calibration mode, to calibrate the unit between -5.0°C and +5.0°C
For example: if the temperature is 26.3°C and the temper- ature value measured is 25°C ,_ then and 1.3°C should be increased as a calibration value,and after calibration press the mode key to return to the measuring mode.
(4) laser locatoin key and backlight switch key(press the 2 keys simutaneously for backlight on/off. this key can also be used as an self calibration value decrease key.

Maintenence

1. Lens Cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away with a moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water.
2. Case cleaning: Clean the case with a damp sponge/cloth and mild soap.

Note:

1. Do not use solvent to clean plastic lens.
2. Do not submerge the unit in water..
