Safety Information

Warning Icons Warning: Read Before Using

Do not stare into laser beam.
Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
For use by competent persons only.
Replace the batteries as soon as the low-battery indicator appears.
Verify the tester’s operation by measuring on a known temperature source.
Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally.
Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
To avoid a burn hazard or fire, know that reflective objects may be much hotter than the indicated temperature reading.
Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of high temperature.
If the thermometer is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the protection provided by the thermometer may be impaired or may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Cautions

To avoid damaging the thermometer under measurement, protect them from
the following:

Do not stare into laser beam.
EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders, induction heaters
Static electricity
Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes —allow 30 minutes for instrument to stabilize before use)
Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of high temperature

Unpacking and Inspection

Your shipping carton should include:

1 IR-710 or IR-710-EUR Thermometer
1 9V battery (installed)
1 Users Manual

If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange.

FEATURES

The Amprobe IR-710 / IR-710-EUR, a 10:1 distance to spot ratio infrared thermometer, offers best in class accuracy and response time with a temperature measurement range of 0°F to 716°F or -18°C to 380°C. The IR-710 / IR-710-EUR is specifically designed for HVAC/R, electrical, industrial maintenance, automotive as well as quality control and fire prevention applications.

Precision accuracy and rapid response time
Laser pointer, backlit dual LCD display
Auto display hold and MAX/MIN memory

How the Thermometers Work

Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading which the unit displays .

Operating the Thermometer

Temperature Measurement

The thermometer will turn on when you pull the trigger and also features an auto-off function that automatically powers down the thermometer after 8 seconds of inactivity.

To measure temperature, point the thermometer at an object and pull the trigger. You can use the laser pointer to help aim the thermometer. Pull and hold the trigger when measuring the target surface.

When the trigger is released, the display will hold the reading for 8 seconds. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field of view. The laser is used for aiming only and is not related to temperature measurement.

°C °F

| Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

MAX MIN

| Toggle between MAX and MIN options. MAX or MIN reading is displayed on the secondary display.
| Turn off or on the laser.

Turn off or on display backlight.

**Laser**

To avoid injury, do not point the laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces.

The thermometer is equipped with a laser used for aiming purposes only. The laser turns off when the trigger is released.

To enable or disable the laser:

Press button to enable or disable the laser. Symbol appears on the display when laser is enabled.

Locating a Hot or Cold Spot

To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the target area. Then, slowly scan across the area with an up and down motion until you located the hot or cold spot.
Locating a Hot or Cold Spot

Distance and Spot Size

As the distance (D) from the target being measured increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the instrument becomes larger. The spot size indicates 90% encircled energy.
Distance and Spot Size

Field of view

Make sure that the target is larger than the spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it.
Field of view

Emissivity

Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of about 0.95. If possible, to compensate for inaccurate readings that may result from measuring shiny metal surfaces, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint (<150°C / 302°F ) and use the high emissivity setting. Allow time for the tape or paint to reach the same temperatures as the surface beneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.

Reminders

Changes of surrounding ambient temperature can result in inaccurate readings. Allow time for the instrument to adapt to the change in ambient temperatures before use. Specified accuracy applies after 30 minutes when the instrument changes to a different environment ambient temperature.
The instrument cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass. It will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead.
Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). See Emissivity.
Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the instrument’s optics.

MAINTENANCE

Lens Cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away with a camel’s hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface with amorist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water or rubbing alcohol. Note: Do not use solvents to clean the plastic lens.

Case Cleaning: Use soap and water on a damp sponge or soft cloth. Note: Do not submerge the unit in water.
