Overview

UT305A+/UT305C+ infrared thermometer (hereinafter referred to as “thermometer” or “product”) is suitable for non-contact temperature measurement. It can determine the surface temperature of the target by measuring the infrared energy radiated by the target surface. The thermometer also supports contact temperature measurement with a type K thermocouple. Besides, it can measure the ambient temperature and relative humidity, and calculate the dew point temperature and wet bulb temperature.

Safety Instructions

Warning:
To prevent eye damage or personal injury, please read the following safety instructions before using the product:

• Do not point the laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly through reflective surfaces.
• Do not look directly at the laser or with optical tools (binoculars, microscopes, etc.).

Cautions:

• If the laser irradiates the user’s eyes, please close the eyes immediately and turn the head away.
• Do not disassemble or refit the product and laser without permission.
• To ensure its safety and accuracy, this product should only be repaired by professional maintenance personnel using original replacement parts.
• Charge immediately when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Please check the product before using it. If it is damaged, cracked on the surface, or missing plastic parts, do not use it.
• Please refer to the emissivity information for the actual temperature. Highly reflective objects or transparent materials will make the actual temperature higher than the measured temperature. When measuring these objects, pay attention to the risk of burns.
• Do not use the product in an environment with flammable and explosive liquid, gas, or dust.
• Do not use the product around the environment with steam, dust, or large temperature fluctuations. It may bring inaccurate results and risks.
• Put the product in the current environment for more than 30 minutes before using it to ensure measurement accuracy.
• Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of high temperature.

When the difference exceeds the high or low limit set in this mode, the buzzer will beep.

Thermal bridge (IR-AT):
In this mode, the thermometer automatically calculates a difference (IR-AT) by subtracting the temperature of the object being measured (IR) from the current ambient temperature (AT). When the difference exceeds the high or low limit set in this mode, the buzzer will beep.

Dew point mode (IR-DP):
In this mode, the thermometer automatically calculates a difference (IR-DP) by subtracting the temperature of the object being measured (IR) from the current dew point temperature (DP). When the difference exceeds the high or low limit set in this mode, the buzzer will beep.

Comparison mode (IR-KT):
In this mode, the thermometer automatically calculates a difference (IR-KT) by subtracting the temperature of the object being measured (IR) from the type K thermocouple temperature (KT). When the difference exceeds the high or low limit set in this mode, the buzzer will beep.

Data Download

The data stored in the thermometer can be downloaded to a PC through the attached USB cable. Plug the USB cable into the Type-C interface (11) of the product and connect the other end to the PC. Turn on the thermometer and open the menu. Press the Left (5) or the Right (9) button to select Generate table, and then press the OK button (8). After the table is generated, the appointment and manual measurement data can be viewed on the computer in PDF and CSV formats.

D: S (Distance to Spot Ratio)

As the distance (D) between the thermometer and the measured target increases, the light spot diameter (S) of the measured area also increases.
The relationship between measurement distance and light spot diameter is shown in the figure below.

The light spot diameter represents 90% of the energy in the circle

Field of View

When measuring, make sure that the measured target is larger than the light spot diameter. The smaller the target, the closer the test distance should be (refer to D: S for the detailed light spot diameter). It is recommended that the measured target be larger than twice the light spot diameter of the thermometer.

Emissivity

Emissivity represents the material energy radiation. The emissivity of most organic materials, painted or oxidized surfaces are about 0.95. The user can use masking tapes or flat paints to cover the metal surface, use the high emissivity setting, and then wait for a period of time to make the surface temperatures of the tapes/flat paints and the covered object the same. At this point, the surface temperature of the tapes/flat paints is equal to the metal surface temperature. The following table shows the total emissivity e of some metals and non-metals.

Troubleshooting

thermometer at -10°C-50°C
(32°F-122°F) for 30 minutes or have it repaired
Battery symbol flashes| Low battery| Charging
Display Er0 (startup)| Product internal damage| Restart the product or charge and then turn it on. If it still cannot work normally, it needs to be repaired
Inaccurate measurement| Unmatched emissivity, too far measurement distance, the diameter of the measurement target < 18mm| Refer to Field of View, D:S, and other instructions in this manual

Notes

During the charging process, the internal temperature of the product rises, which will lead to the deviation of the measurement result. In order to ensure accuracy, avoid measurement in the charging state or unplug the USB cable for more than 10 minutes to wait for the internal temperature to recover.
