FEATURES
- Non-contact Temperature Measurement: This method measures the temperature of different surfaces quickly and safely, without touching them. It can be used for hot, dangerous, or hard-to-reach items.
- Optics and Temperature Sensor: This part has optics, a temperature sensor, a signal amplifier, a processing circuit, and an LCD monitor to show the temperature correctly and quickly.
- Distance to Spot Size Ratio (12:1): It has a distance-to-spot size ratio of 12:1, which lets you measure distances in different ways and makes sure you get exact readings even when you’re far away.
- Built-in Laser shooting: It comes with a laser for accurate shooting, which makes measuring temperatures easier and more accurate.
- It gives off 0.95 Set: The default value of 0.95 for emissivity is good for most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces, so it gives correct readings in many situations.
- Range of Temperature Measurements: It can measure temperatures from -50°C to 500°C (-58°F to 932°F), so it can meet a lot of different needs.
- High Display Resolution: This feature gives you a display resolution of 0.1°C or 0.1°F, which lets you see very accurate temperature numbers.
- Temperature number Conversion: This feature lets users choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit as their preferred temperature number.
- LCD Backlight: It has an LCD backlight that makes it easier to read temperature data late at night or in low light.
- Data Hold Function: This feature lets users save and remember temperature numbers on the screen, making it easier to record and analyze.
- Automatic Shutdown Function: To save battery life, the device turns off itself after about 8 seconds of inaction.
- Power from Batteries: Two AAA batteries provide a handy and easy-to-reach power source.
- Compact and Portable Design: It is lightweight and small, making it easy to carry and use in a variety of settings.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: In an environment ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), it works well, making it useful in many situations.
- Durable Construction: Made to last, even in tough circumstances.
SETUP GUIDE
- Before you use the unit, check the plastic case to make sure there are no cracks or other damage. If any damage is found, do not use the gadget.
- To keep your eyes from getting hurt, don’t point the laser directly at them or indirectly off of reflective objects.
- To ensure safe and accurate use, keep the unit away from places with dangerous gas, steam, or dust.
- Keep electromagnetic fields (EMF) from arc welders and induction heaters away from the unit so that they don’t mess up the temperature readings.
- To avoid heat shock, let the unit settle for 30 minutes in places where the temperature changes quickly or in large amounts before using it.
- Keep the device away from hot things to keep it from breaking or giving you the wrong temperature data.
- For correct temperature readings, make sure the target surface is bigger than the spot size of the unit. Change how far away the goal is as needed.
- To fix numbers that are off because of low emissivity, put masking tape or flat black paint over metal surfaces that are shiny or polished.
- Using the unit’s function settings, choose the right temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit) based on your choice or specific needs.
- By turning on the LCD backlight, you can see better in low light. Keep in mind that when the backlight is on, any action will turn it on.
- You can use the “data hold” tool to freeze and save temperature readings for later use in research or documentation.
- When needed, replace the batteries with two AAA batteries to keep the device running smoothly.
- For best results, keep the device within the recommended temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
- When not in use, keep the gadget somewhere dry and cool to keep it from getting damaged by humidity or high or low temperatures.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Regularly wipe down the outside of the device with a soft, dry cloth to get rid of dust or other particles.
- To keep the finish of the gadget from getting damaged, don’t clean it with harsh chemicals or solvents.
- To keep getting correct temperature readings, make sure nothing gets in the way of the sensor area.
- When not in use, put the thermometer in a bag or pouch to keep it from getting scratched or broken.
- Be careful when handling the device so that you don’t drop or hit it by chance and break it.
- Keep the thermometer away from water or other wet substances to keep the inside from getting damaged.
- Check the battery compartment for corrosion every so often, and replace the cells when they’re dead.
- Do not put the device in full sunlight or very hot or cold places, as this could affect how well it works.
- To make sure it’s accurate, you should calibrate the thermometer as often as the maker suggests.
- Do not try to take the device apart or fix it yourself, as you could void the guarantee and damage it beyond repair.
- To keep the device’s temperature data accurate, keep it away from electromagnetic fields.
- Keep the thermometer somewhere safe, away from kids and pets, so it doesn’t get broken or misused by mistake.
- To keep the device from getting thermal shock, don’t expose it to quick changes in temperature.
- When batteries and electronics reach the end of their useful life, make sure you follow the right steps for getting rid of them.
