LDF NCIT100 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
Overview
The Hawkeye Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer is designed for fast and accurate body temperature measurements, without physical contact. That makes it ideal for mass temperature screening and monitoring of individuals at workplaces, public events, and social gatherings.
Device Components
- A: LCD backlit screen
- B: Infrared sensor
- C: Measurement Trigger
- D: The battery compartment
Display Screen
- A: Low battery indicator
- B: °F indicator
- C: °C indicator
- D: Temperature readout
- E: Scan mode indicator
- F: Data hold indicator
Operating Instructions
To change the measurement unit, open the battery compartment and move the switch inside the compartment to the °F or °C position.
To install the batteries, open the battery compartment, install 2 “AAA”
batteries according to the instruction sticker, and then close the compartment
door until it snaps shut.
To take a temperature measurement:
- Aim the infrared thermometer (NCIT) at the center of the forehead and keep the NCIT perpendicular to the target surface. The distance between the NCIT and the forehead should be between 0.4 and 1.1 inches.
- Press and release the trigger. Dashed lines will appear on the screen with the word “SCAN” underneath them.
- Do not move the NCIT from this position until the reading appears on the screen. A reading should appear in under 2 seconds with the word “HOLD” underneath it.
- Depending on the reading, the screen color will change to either green, yellow or red and the unit will beep one, two, or three times respectively to alert the user to elevated temperatures
- 98.9°F (37.2°C) and lower, Green & 1 beep
- 99.0° to 100.3°F (37.3° to 37.9°C), Yellow & 2 beeps
- 100.4°F (38°C) and greater, Red & 3 beeps
- Repeat this process for each temperature measurement. When taking multiple temperatures in a row, if the screen seems to be stuck on the last reading wait a few seconds and press the trigger again. This should initiate scanning.
Operation Notes
- The NCIT100 provides an oral equivalent temperature based on a forehead skin measurement. External sources, such as extreme ambient temperatures or physical activity, can skew the readings. Keep both the NCIT and the subject in the same ambient environment for at least 30 minutes to stabilize the device before testing. Multiple readings may be necessary to determine an accurate body temperature reference.
- Make sure the forehead is not covered by anything. Hats, hair, sweat, or other obstructions can make the reading less accurate. Any obstructions should be removed, and the user should wait at least 10 minutes to take the subject’s temperature.
- Keep the device away from electromagnetic fields and electrostatic areas.
- This device should be used only for screening purposes, and not to diagnose any medical conditions.

Troubleshooting
| Problems | Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| No display | Dead battery | Check and replace the |
battery
****| Low battery| Replace battery
Color screen dims| Low battery| Replace battery
Reads “OL”| The temperature of the subject is lower than the measurement
range| Make sure the subject is within the measurement distance
Reads “OH”| The temperature of the subject is higher than the measurement
range| Make sure the subject is within the measurement distance
Reads “AL”| The ambient temperature is too Low| Make sure ambient temperature
is within the operation temperature range
Reads “AH”| The ambient temperature is too high| Make sure ambient temperature
is within the operation temperature range
Safety and Maintenance
- Clean the infrared sensor lens often with compressed air or a moist cotton cloth. Never use a solvent or an abrasive cleaner.
- The exterior housing (plastic parts only) can be cleaned with soap and water on a damp sponge or disinfectant wipe. Do not submerge the device or let water get into the interior.
- Remove the batteries when cleaning the device.
- Remove the batteries before long-term storage.
- Do not operate the NCIT100 in explosive environments containing flammable liquids, gases or dust.
- Please dispose of the batteries properly according to your local regulations for battery disposal.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not modify the device in any way.
