Overview
Description of Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer
-
Device principle and introduction:
The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is a hand-held, reusable, battery- operated device, which can measure human body temperature using the forehead as the
measurement site (the skin temperature on one’s forehead.) The operating principle is based on Infrared (IR) Sensor technology. When measuring, the IR Sensor acquires infrared energy from the target forehead. Taking into account the ambient temperature, the thermometer turns the signal from the IR Sensor to a digital value and displays it on the LCD. -

How to Operate
Before Applying the Thermometer
Be sure to read and understand all warnings listed on the instructions before
use.
-
The thermometer should align with the middle of the forehead to measure body temperature (between and directly above the eyebrows) at a vertical distance. Press the On (Trigger) button and the temperature will display immediately.
-
Position thermometer 1-5 cm from the center of the forehead. Be careful because there will be no alarm if the thermometer is further away. If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy.
-
Before using, allow the thermometer to remain in the room in which it will be used for 30 minutes. The room temperature should be between 15°C and 40°C (59°F and 104°F).
-
The ambient temperature around the test person should be stable. DO NOT take human temperature measurements near airflow from fans, air-conditioning vents, etc.
-
When people move from a place of lower temperature a place of higher temperature, they should remain in the test environment for at least 5 minutes, to be consistent with the ambient temperature before their temperature is measured.
-
In the event that you can’t follow the ambient acclimation guidance due to using this device as a screening tool, the reading displayed may shift up or down as a result of the temperature subjects are coming from compared to the temperature they are being measured in. If that is the case, judge individuals against each other, and any individual that is reading 0.8°C (1.5°F) higher or lower than the normal, should be measured again following acclimation.
-
Wait at least 1 second for the next measurement. If measuring continuously five times, it is recommended to wait at least 30 seconds and then continue the measurement.
-
DO NOT use this thermometer in direct sunlight.
General Setup and Use
- Start measuring
Align the device to the forehead at a distance of 1-5cm (0.4-2.0 inches), then press the On (Trigger) button to start the measurement and read the data. The thermometer will perform a self-test with all segments displayed for 2 seconds.
Note:
- After the full display is over, you will hear a single “beep” for a normal temperature or 4 “double beeps” for an elevated temperature, which means that the measurements have been completed. The target value of the measured temperature is displayed on the LCD, while the backlit displays one of three colors red, green, yellow. Green means ready for the next measurement. If 37.4°C – 38.4°C (99.3°F – 101.1°F), yellow is displayed, which means slight fever warning. Please pay attention to body temperature. When the body temperature is above 38.4°C (101.1°F), red is displayed, which means high fever. Please take action to cool down or go to a doctor.
- To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, wait at least 30 seconds after 5 consecutive measurements.
- Mode conversion
When the device is on, press the MODE button to cycle conversion between “body” mode and “surface” mode.
“body” mode is used for measuring human body temperature, the “surface “ mode is used to measure the surface temperature. (The factory default is “body” mode).
• Recalling and Erasing Memory Data
The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers off is stored in
memory, up to 50.
- When the thermometer is turned on or off,, press the MEMO button to view the history of measured values.
- An empty memory cell shows “—-°C” or “—-°F”.
- Temperature readings can be stored in memory. Up to 50 temperature readings can be stored into the memory cells and automatically overwrite historical data.
- While the thermometer is on, press the MEMO button until the LCD display “CLR”, which means that all stored data is cleared completely.
