Measurement

Turn the unit on after checking to see there are no mistakes in connection.
The LCD display will light up.
Press the laser switch, and the laser marker will light up. Check to see that the laser is aimed at the center area of the object to be measured. The laser marker is aimed at the center of the area to be measured. Press the laser switch again to turn it off or wait 20 seconds, and it will automatically turn off.
Follow each step in “4.Setting.”
Check to see if the unit is operating normally

Setting

Take off the cover.
Press the △／▽ button to move the menu bar, and set it to the position you want. At this time, the flashing numerical figure will show the current setting figure.

MEAS.	Conduct a conventional measurement.
TEACH	Set the temperature (real temperature) of the object to be measured.

Calculate the emissivity ratio from the real temperature. Automatically adjust the set figure of the emissivity ratio.
ε| Set the emissivity ratio of the object to be measured. ε=1.20～0.10 Adjust the measurement value according to the set emissivity ratio.
DELAY| Select the response time. Set figure 1～200
Smoothing is possible if setting when the display fluctuates.
˚C／˚F| Switch between temperature displays.
HI,LO| Setting the Temperature Range of the Analog Output.
Factory Default Setting: 4～20m A for 0˚C(LO)～500˚C(HI)
Note: Please refer to the section “Setting the Temperature Range of the Analog Output”.
3. Press the ENTER button to put into “SET MODE.” For the TEACH and emissivity setting, the laser marker lights up. 4. Press the △／▽ button to change the set figure. At this time, the figure which is displayed alternately with the set figure represents the operand temperature of the set figure/value. 5. Press the ENTER button to record. At this time, the blinking numerical figure, etc. represents the set figure after change. 6. Press the △／▽ button to return the menu bar to the MEAS. position and put into “MEASURE MODE.” The unit will automatically return to “MEASURE MODE” if no buttons are pushed for a period greater than 10 seconds. At this time, setting is invalid.
Note: Analog output produces a measurement figure during setting.

Setting the Temperature Range of the Analog Output.

The Temperature Range of the Analog Output can be set within the temperature measuring range.

Adjust the menu bar to Hi,LO and press the ENTER button to enter the Temperature Range of the Analog Output Setting mode.
HI(High Limit)Setting: Use the △／▽ buttons to change the setting value, and press the ENTER button to complete the entry. The menu bar moves to LO(Low Limit)Setting automatically.
LO(Low Limit)Setting: Use the △／▽ buttons to change the setting value, and press the ENTER button to complete the entry.

Note: In the MEASURE MODE, each of menu bars(HI,LO)is indicated accordingly when either or both of Setting Temperature Range (HI(High Limit), LO(Low Limit))is changed.
Note:“ High Limit”-“Low Limit”≧100
Note: When the Analog Output Range Setting value is changed, the Analog Output Resolution is also changed accordingly.

TEACH Function

In cases where the emissivity ratio of the object to be measured is not known, firstly measure the temperature of the object with a thermo―couple, etc. then automatically be calculated.
Teach-in function is not available while the display blinks as well as shows ERR due to unpropped setting. Use direct input of ε-value.

Emissivity ratio (ε)

The emissivity ratio is the rate of the energy emitted from the surface of the object. All objects possess a particular emissivity ratio which changes according to the object’s surface conditions or temperature. Since the unit allows the emissivity ratio to be set, even more precise measurements can be conducted by matching the emissivity ratio of the object to be measured.
Objects with a low emissivity ratio (e.g. the surface of shiny metallic objects) reflect the surrounding temperature since they are highly reflective. In this case, it is necessary to block out these effects from surrounding objects since incorrect measurements will result by reflecting these temperatures.
The emissivity ratio normally has a maximum value of 1.00.
However, taking into consideration the influence of surrounding noise, the unit can be set up to 1.20.

Troubleshooting

Problems	Cause	Solution
Display doesn’t appear	The power source is not connected properly.	Check

the lead wires and the connections.
The power voltage is low.| Check the power voltage and adjust it to the DC12～24V range.
Laser doesn’t appear, it is dark.| The laser emitting aperture is dirty.| Clean the lens referring to the Lens section under “Maintenance”.
The measured figure is odd.| The lens is dirty.| Clean the lens referring to the Lens section under “Maintenance”.
The measuring area is off center.| Adjust the laser marker so that it is aimed at the center of the object to be measured.
Near the object to be measured is another object emitting high temperatures, affecting the temperature reading.| Block the heat source using a board, etc.
The emissivity ratio setting is off.| Reset to the emissivity ratio of the object to be measured.
The measured figure is not stable.| The unit is vibrating.| Prevent the vibration.
The temperature of the unit changes suddenly.| Put the unit aside for a while to stabilize the unit’s temperature.
Impossible to teach in.(ERR)| Unpropped setting| Confirm again the setting value, or input ε value directly.

If the above solutions do no correct the problems or should other problems not mentioned above occur, please contact your distributor.

Maintenance

Lens: Dust, dirt and scratches on the lens cause incorrect measurements.
In case of dirty lenses, please remove the dust on the lens with a blower, etc. for lens cleaning use. If the dust or dirt can not be removed with a blower, lightly wipe the lens with a cotton swab or special lens cleaning cloth using a little ethanol alcohol.

Main Unit: The main unit is made of PBT and polycarbonate. When it becomes cirty, lightly wipe caustic soda, ammonia, acetane, thinner, etc. to clean the dirt off since these chemicals will permeate the surface and melt it.

Calibration ; We recommend a regular calibration. Please inquire at your distributor where you bought the unit.
