Application

These units can be widely used in Food preparation, Safety and Fire inspection, Plastic molding, Asphalt, Marine, Printing ink, dryer temperature, and Fleet maintenance.

Safety

• Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on.
• Do not point the beam toward human or animal eyes.
• Do not allow the beam to strike the eye from a reflective surface.
• Do not use the laser near explosive gases.

Field of View

The meter’s field of view is 30:1, for example, if the meter is 30 inches from the target spot, the diameter of the target must be at least 1 inch. Other distance ratios are shown in Fig. 1 in the field of view diagram.

Notes:

• Accuracy can be ensured while the temperature is at 18℃～ 28℃(64℉～82℉) and humidity is less than 80 % RH.
• Field of View: Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it.
  When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.

Operating Instruction

9.1 Operating steps:

1. Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it toward the surface to be measured.
2. Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on, the “SCAN” icon will appear and begin testing.
3. The surface temperature being tested will be displayed on the LCD screen.
4. Release the trigger, the “HOLD” icon will appear, and the reading will be held for several seconds.
5. The meter will automatically shut off after 35 seconds.

Measurement Note： If the meter is used in an ambient temperature with a wide temperature change, awaiting it at least 30  minutes to adjust it.
The laser is designed for aiming only; it can be shut off while operating at a short distance to save the battery.

9.2 Button Function
9.2.1 UP/DOWN button

1. In Measurement Mode, press the button“ ”to switch the temperature unit ℃ or ℉.
2. In REC mode, press the button“ ”to review the latest 12 record readings.

Notes

10.1 Work Principle

• The Industrial Pyrometer is designed for measuring the surface temperature of an object.
• The optical sensor can emit, reflect and transmit energy, which is collected and focused on a detector, then translate it into the temperature reading by electronics and displayed on the LCD screen.
• The laser is used for aiming at the target object only.

10.2 Field of View

• The object under test should be larger than the spot size calculated by the field of view diagram.
• The smaller the target object is, the closer the meter should be to it for accurate measuring.
• When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.

10.3 Distance & Spot Size
• As distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger.

10.4 Locating a hot spot
• To find a hot spot, first aim the thermometer to the outside of the target area, then scan across in an up and down motion until the hot spot is located.

10.5 Notice

• Not recommended for measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces like stainless steel, aluminum, etc.
• Do not make measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass.
• If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean it before taking measurement.

10.6 Maintenance

• Do not use volatile liquids to clean the unit, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
• Do not disassemble the unit, repair it with qualified personnel
• Do not immerse it in water.
• Do not store it in high temperature or humidity.

10.7 Emissivity
• Most (90%) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit).
