User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the IR Thermometer. This is capable of non-contact (infrared) temperature measurements at the touch of a button. The built-in laser pointer increases target accuracy while the backlight LCD and handy push buttons combine for convenient, ergonomic operation.
The Non-contact Infrared Thermometers can be used to measure the temperature of objects’ surface that is improper to be measured by traditional (contact) thermometer (such as moving object, the surface with electricity current or the objects which are uneasy to be touched.)
Proper use and care of this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Wide Range Application

Food preparation, Safety and Fire inspectors, Plastic molding, Asphalt, Marine and Screen printing, measuring ink and Dryer temperature, HVAC/R, Diesel, and Fleet maintenance.

Safety

• Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on.
• Do not let the beam enter your eye, another person’s eye, or the eye of an animal.
• Be careful not to let the beam on a reflective surface strike your eye.
• Do not allow the laser light beam to impinge on any gas which can explode.

Distance & Spot Size

As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between distance and spot size for each unit is listed below. The focal point for each unit is 914mm (36”). The spot sizes indicate 90% encircled energy.

Functional Design

• In the measuring time, press the “MODE” keys to display MAX value, MIN value, DIF value, AVG value, LOG value.
• In the measuring time, if the TYPE-K thermocouple is not connected, you can adjust EMS by pressing the “Up/Down” key.
• In the HOLD mode, you can adjust °C/°F by pressing the “Up/Down” key.
• You can turn on/off the backlight/laser by pressing the “Light/Laser” key at any state.
• To set values for the High Alarm (HAL), Low Alarm (LAL), and Emissivity (EMS), press the “MODE” button until the appropriate code appears in the display, press the “Up/Down” buttons to adjust the desired values.

MODE Button Function

• In the “HOLD“ mode, pressing the “MODE” button also allows you to access the set state, MAX MIN DIF AVG LOG display.
• Emissivity(EMS), Lock-On/Off, HAL On/Off, HAL adjustment, LOW On/Off, LOW adjustment, °C/°F Each time you press set you advance through the mode cycle. The diagram shows the sequence of functions in the model cycle.

MAX MIN DIF AVG Display
MAX=maximum.The maximum value of measurement.
MIN=minimum. The minimum value of measurement.
DIF=difference. Difference value of measurement.
AVG=average. The average value of measurement.

Measurement Operation

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 and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light.
3. Release the Trigger and the HOLD display icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held. In HOLD status, press the “Up” button to turn on or off the laser. And press the “Down” button to turn on or off the backlight.
4. The meter will automatically power down after approximately 7 seconds after the trigger is released. (Unless the unit is locked on)

Note: Measurement considerations

• Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR Sensor toward the object whose temperature is to be measured. The meter automatically compensates for temperature deviations from the ambient temperature. Keep in mind that it will take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide ambient temperatures are to be measured followed by high-temperature measurements, some time (several minutes) is required after the low (and before the high) temperature measurements are made.
• This is a result of the cooling process, which must take place for the IR sensor.

Battery Replacement

1. As battery power is not sufficient, LCD will display “ ” replacement with one new battery type 9V is required.
2. Open the battery cover, then take out the battery from the instrument and replace it with a new 9-Volt battery and place the battery cover back.

Notes

• How it Works
  Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading, which is displayed on the unit. In units with a laser, the laser is used for aiming purposes only.

• 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.

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

• Locating a hot Spot
  To find a hot spot aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you locate hot spot.

• Reminders
  Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces ( stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).See Emissivity
  The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass. It will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead.
  Steam, dust, smoke, etc., Can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s optics.

• Emissivity
  Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.

• Emissivity Values
  ** Substance| Thermal Emissivity| Substance| Thermal Emissivity**
  ---|---|---|---
  Asphalt| 0.90 to 0.98| Cloth (black)| 0.98
  Concrete| 0.94| Human skin| 0.98
  Cement| 0.96| Lather| 0.75 to 0.80
  Sand| 0.90| Charcoal (powder)| 0.96
  Earth| 0.92 to 0.96| Lacquer| 0.80 to 0.95
  Water| 0.92 to 0.96| Lacquer (matt)| 0.97
  Ice| 0.96 to 0.98| Rubber (black)| 0.94
  Snow| 0.83| Plastic| 0.85 to 0.95
  Glass| 0.90 to 0.95| Timber| 0.90
  Ceramic| 0.90 to 0.94| Paper| 0.70 to 0.94
  Marble| 0.94| Chromium oxides| 0.81
  Plaster| 0.80 to 0.90| Copper oxides| 0.78
  Mortar| 0.89 to 0.91| Iron oxides| 0.78 to 0.82
