steinel 110032240 HL Scan Temperature Scanner Instruction Manual

HL Scan

Operating instructions
Designed for use with Steinel hot-air tools, HL-Scan is a temperature scanner that uses infrared for measuring temperature on a contactless basis.
uring use, HL-Scan gives you an acoustic and visual warning if the temperature measured exceeds or falls below the temperature selected. HL-Scan is powered by a 9V block battery.
Please familiarise yourself with these operating instructions before using this product because prolonged reliable and trouble-free operation will only be ensured if it is handled properly.

Safety warnings

• Tampering or technical modifications will result in the loss of warranty cover and exemption from liability.
• Do not expose the device to any major mechanical strain or strong vibration.
• The device must not be exposed to high levels of air humidity nor must it be allowed to get wet. Outdoors, the device must only be used in appropriate weather conditions or provided with appropriate protection.
• Smoke, dust, steam, and/or other vapours may adversely affect the HL-Scan’s optical system and lead to incorrect results being dis-played.
• Before use, please wait until the device has acclimatised to ambient temperature.
• Switch the device OFF and prevent it from being switched ON unintentionally if it must be assumed that safe operation cannot be ensured. e.g. if
  • the device shows visible damage
  • the device does not work or
  • the device has be exposed to adverse conditions for a prolonged period
  • the product has been exposed to severe strain in transit.
• This device may be used by children aged 8 or above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been given instructions on how to use the tool safely and understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the device. Children are not allowed to clean or carry out maintenance work on the device without supervision.
• Never look into the LED light beam and never aim it at persons or animals.

How it works

HL-Scan measures an object’s surface temperature. The heat radiation reflected from and passing through the object is detected by the tool’s sensor. This information is then converted into a temperature reading. Emissivity is a value used to describe the relative ability of a material to emit thermal energy by radiation (characteristic “radiance”). The higher the emissivity, the more capable the material is of emitting thermal energy. Most organic materials and surfaces have a emissivity coefficient of approx. 0.90. Metallic surfaces or shiny materials have a lower emissivity coefficient. HL-Scan’s emissivity can be selected so as to rule out imprecise
measured values.

Inserting the battery / changing the battery (Fig.③ )

Make sure the battery is inserted the right way round. To avoid damage from leakage, remove the battery if you will not be using the device for a long period of time. Damaged or leaking batteries may cause acid burns on contact with skin. It is recommended to wear protective gloves. Never recharge non- rechargeable batteries. Avoid short circuits and contact with fire as the battery could explode. Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children. Change the battery when the display shows a flashing flat-battery symbol (17).

Changing the battery

1. Unscrew the battery compartment lid and remove it
2. Detach spent battery from the battery clip and connect a new battery of the same type to the battery clip, ensuring correct polarity
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Place the lid on the battery compartment and screw-down

Fitting / Removal (Fig. ④ )

The device is fitted to the top of the hot air tool. HL-Scan can be fitted and removed at any time.

Operation

1. Fit HL-Scan onto the hot air tool ④
2. When switching ON for the first time, the device is active in the state it was in on leaving the factory: temperature setting = 150 °C, alarm tolerance level = 5 %, emissivity = 0.90, LED light beam ON, audio signal ON.
3. The display shows the temperature setting and alarm tolerance level for 5 sec., after then HL-Scan immediately starts to measure temperature. The actual temperature at the work point is indicated on the display ②.

Measuring temperature (Fig.⑤ )

• The ideal measurement area is 15 cm from the hot air tool’s delivery outlet and measures approx. 2 cm in diameter. Reducing/increasing the distance may cause results to vary.
• To obtain accurate results, the object being measured must be larger than the measurement area. It is recommended for the object being measured to be at least twice the size of the measurement area.
• HL-Scan is unable to take measurements through transparent surfaces, such as glass. Instead, HL-Scan measures the surface temperature of the glass.
• Refer to “Nozzles” when using nozzles.
• The measurement results obtained for shiny objects may be corrupted and therefore incorrect.
• To obtain accurate results, HL-Scan must be allowed to reach ambient temperature. When moving from one location to another, let HL Scan reach the new ambient temperature.
• Prolonged use at high temperatures may cause HL-Scan to heat up and deliver incorrect measurement results. To prevent HL-Scan from heating up after prolonged use, detach it from the hot air tool after use. To detach HL-Scan, go to “Fitting/ Removal”.

Setting emissivity
HL-Scan’s emissivity can be selected to obtain accurate measurement readings for different materials and surfaces (see table). Emissivity is set to 0.90 on leaving the factory. This is the value most organic materials have.

Emissivity table

Surface| Emissivity
Car films| 0.90 – 0.95
Wood| 0.80 – 0.90
Rubber| 0.85 – 0.95
Oil-based paints| 0.95
Leather| 0.75 – 0.85
Lacquers| 0.80 – 0.95
Paper, card| 0.75 – 0.95
Textiles| 0.9
Plastic (PVC, PE, PP)| 0.85 – 0.95

The emissivities shown in the emissivity table are approximations.
Surface quality, geometry or other parameters may influence the emissivity of the object being measured.

Alarm function
The scanner comes with an alarm function that is activated when the temperature measured exceeds or falls below the temperature selected. The alarm is given in acoustic form by an audio signal and in visual form by blue and red back-lighting. The alarm is triggered when the temperature measured exceeds or falls below the temperature that is set.
When back-lighting is green, the temperature measured by HL-Scan matches the alarm tolerance level previously selected. The acoustic warning signal can be deactivated. To deactivate the audio signal, go to “Settings menu”.
