- Protect from thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes) allow 30 minutes for the unit to stabilize itself before use.
- Ensure the unit is protected from static electricity.
- Viewing the laser pointer output with certain optical instruments (eg: eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) with a distance of 100mm may pose an eye hazard.
- Viewing the laser pointer output with certain optical instruments (eg: telescopes and binoculars) may pose an eye hazard.
- Do not stare into the beam or direct the beam towards another person’s eyes.
- Do not direct the beam onto reflective surfaces.
- Avoid positioning the laser such that it may lead to unintentional eye exposure to any potential passing pedestrians/traffic.
- Always switch off when not in use and do not leave unattended. Remove the batteries before storing the infrared thermometer.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the infrared thermometer is not dropped, knocked, or damaged during use or storage.
- Only use this device for the purpose for which it has been designed.

ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
FEATURES
The TradeQuip infrared thermometer is compact, rugged, and easy to use. Just aim and push the button to read the temperature of the surface of the object, which is applicable for various hot, cold, hazardous, and hard-to-reach objects without contact safely and quickly. The information is then displayed on the screen display.
ASSEMBLY
Unpacking: Carefully remove the infrared thermometer from the packaging and examine it for any sign of damage. Check the contents against the parts shown below. If after removing the packing material, make sure the product is in perfect condition and that there are no visible damaged parts. The packaging materials (Polyethylene bags, polystyrene, etc.), must be disposed of in an appropriate refuse collection container. These materials must not be left within the reach of children as they are potential sources of danger.
BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection by checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked joins and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
9v Battery Installation:
To install the battery press the battery door clip, pull-down, and forward to
open door. Install 9v battery.
Celsius/Fahrenheit:
Open the battery door and push the slide switch to Celsius.
OPERATION
When taking measurements, pay attention to the Distance to Spot Ratio. As the Distance (D) from the target surface increases, the Spot ratio (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The Distance to Spot Ratio of the unit is 12:1. This unit is equipped with a laser pointer, which is used for aiming.
Field of view:
Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s Spot ratio. The smaller the
target the closer the measuring distance. When accuracy is critical, make sure
the target is at least twice as large as the Spot ratio.
Emissivity:
Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of
0.95 (pre-set in unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny
or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cover the target surface with
masking tape or flat black paint. Measure the tape or painted surface when the
tape or painted area reaches the same temperature as the material underneath.
Operating the Unit
Pull the trigger to turn on the unit.
Aim at the target surface and pull the trigger, the temperature will be shown
on the LCD.
This unit is equipped with a laser pointer, which is only used for aiming.
Locating a Hot Spot
To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, and then
scan across with an up and down motion until you locate the hot or cold spot.
