Before use

Note: To operate the product, insert the included battery (9 V block). Proceed as described below:
Inserting/changing the battery

• To insert/change the 9 V block battery 14, open the battery cover 4. To do
  so, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and flip it open.

• If applicable, remove the old 9 V block battery and insert a new one. If necessary, clean the contacts of the battery compartment and the 9V block battery. Only use a  9V block battery type 6F22 or 6LR61.

• Ensure the correct polarity when inserting the 9V block battery. This is indicated on the battery cover (Fig. C).

• Close the battery cover. Your infrared thermometer is now ready for use.

Start-up

• Hold the handle of the product so the index finger can operate the Measure button 3 and the thumb buttons 10 to 12.

Switching on and off

• Press measure button 3 or the ON/OFF button 13 to switch on the product. Display 5 will light up and a brief tone will sound.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button 13 to switch off the product. Two brief tones will sound.
• When the product is no longer being used, the backlight of the display will switches off after approx. 15 seconds. After approx. 60 seconds the product will automatically switch off; this is indicated by two brief tones.

Selecting the temperature unit
After switching on, the last temperature unit used will initially be selected.

• Briefly press the °C / °F / SET button 11 to change the temperature units 7 (°C or °F).

The official temperature unit in Europe is °C.
Measuring temperature
Allow about 30 minutes for the product to acclimate to the conditions of the environment.

• Hold the Measure button 3 whilst aiming the laser pointer with 8 dot circle 1 t the surface, you wish to measure.
• The temperature is measured whilst pressing the Measure button; display 5 will read „SCAN“.
• After releasing the Measure button the last temperature measured will appear in the display and the laser pointer with 8 dot circle will be deactivated.
• The temperature determined is the average temperature of the area measured. The area measured is circular. The diameter of the area measured „S“ is one-twelfth of the distance between the surface and the infrared sensor 2 „D“. Below you will find some values as a guide:

Please note:

• The surface of the target object must be significantly larger than the measuring
  diameter of the product. Otherwise, the measurement will not be reliable.

• Always measure at the closest possible distance to the measuring surface.

• Aim the product as vertically to the measuring surface as possible.

• Do not measure in dusty, steaming, or smoky atmospheres.

• Do not measure through transparent materials such as glass or plastic.

Show temperature deviation
The temperature deviation is the difference between a previously established reference value and a temperature measurement. Display 5 indicates the deviations as numeric values and is displayed in color. An acoustic signal also sounds.
Determine reference value

• Press the measure button 3 and aim the laser pointer with 8 dot circle 1 at the area in which you wish to use the temperature as the reference. The temperature is indicated in display  5.
• Whilst holding the Measure button, press the °C / °F / SET button 11 to use the temperature value as the reference value. This temperature is indicated in the display next to „REF“ as reference display 6.

Select tolerance range
You can set the temperature deviation from the reference value as to which the product will respond with a visual and acoustic signal.

• To do so, whilst the reference value 6 appears in display 5, press the button 10 or the button 12. Using this button the symbol will move to the right ( ) or to the left ( ) above the tolerance range 9 selection in the display.

Use this method to select the tolerance range indicated below the display:

Note: Under “Normal“ mode, the tolerance range for the temperature deviation function is turned off. So, no display color change / acoustic signal will be observed for any amount of temperature deviation from the reference value under the “Normal“ mode.
Scan temperature deviation

• Select a reference temperature as described above.
• Press the Measure button 3 and aim the laser pointer with 8 dot circle 1 at the area you wish to measure. The temperature is indicated in display 5.
• Hold the measure button whilst scanning, and slowly and steadily move the laser pointer with an 8-dot circle across the surface you wish to measure. The temperature deviations between the reference value and the measurement are indicated as follows:

been exceeded
Green display background| No tone| Within the temperature range setting
Blue display background| Slow tone series| The value is below the lower threshold

Example of use
To e.g. test cold air entering the space between a window frame and brickwork, first scan the temperature along the entire frame, next to the closed window. Select the warmest area of the frame as the reference temperature, then e.g. a temperature variation of 3 °C / 5°F. Now steadily scan again, along all sides of the window, next to the frame. The
blue color display and a slow tone series indicate a possible influx of cold air with a difference of 3 °C / 5°F.
Battery state display
The battery symbol appears in display 5 as soon as the battery voltage is too low.

• Insert a new battery as described in the chapter „Inserting/replacing the battery“ when this symbol appears.
• A drained battery may leak. In addition, the measurement may not be accurate as specified in „Technical data“ if the battery voltage is low.
