WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death. Retain these instructions for future reference.
WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
Class II Laser.

  • Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent eye injuries. NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this instrument.
  • DO NOT use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.
  • DO NOT modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in emission of hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
  • DO NOT use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes, etc. to transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
  • This product should not be used in any location that could result in somebody looking at or having their eyes inadvertently irradiated by the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
  • This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who have not read and fully understood the instructions.
  • Thermometer is NOT intended for use on people or animals.
  • DO NOT remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result in serious personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous laser irradiation.
  • Discontinue using the instrument immediately if it is acting abnormally.
  • There are no user serviceable parts in this instrument.

CAUTION

  • BURN HAZARD. Reflective materials may have a higher actual temperature than the measured temperature.

SAFE PRACTICES

This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable dangers beyond its targeting laser, the objects being measured, as well as the environment in which they reside, can be hazardous. Common safety practices to follow when operating near temperature critical environments are:

  • Before using this meter, determine if an area is safe, verify correct operation by measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
To measure temperature with the IR1, aim the meter at the object to be measured, pull the trigger 2 and hold it depressed for at least 2 seconds. Releasing the trigger initiates Data Hold, “HOLD” will show on the display, and the measurement will be held on the display. If the display shows “OL” or “–OL” following a measurement, this
indicates that the surface temperature of the object being measured is either above or below the measurement range of the meter.
TARGETING
The IR1 features a laser 5 to assist in targeting the measurement area. Measurement areas located far away from the meter will be larger than those close to the meter.
The meter is configured with 10:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement area relative to the distance between the measurement location and the IR sensor 4 . Typical diameters of the measurement area as a function of the distance between the meter and the target area are
depicted below for 10:1 optical systems (FIG. 1).

NOTE: Increased distance from target may affect reading accuracy.
TARGETING LASER
The laser is on when the trigger 2 is held, and is off when released.
When on, the laser icon ” ” will be visible on the display.
SELECTING A TEMPERATURE SCALE
The default scale is Fahrenheit (°F). To change, loosen the screw in the Battery Compartment Door 3 and push the °F/°C Switch 6 to change to Celsius (°C). Replace the Battery Compartment Door 3 and tighten screw to secure, taking care not to over-tighten.

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When indicator is displayed on LCD, battery must be replaced.

  1. Loosen the screw in the Battery Compartment Door 3 to open.
  2. Remove exhausted 9V battery and dispose of appropriately.
  3. Replace 9V battery and return Battery Compartment Door 3 and tighten screw to secure, taking care not to over-tighten.

CLEANING
Be sure meter is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Take care to keep the sensor lens clean at all times. If required, loose debris may be removed from lens using clean compressed air. Lens may also be cleaned using a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol only. Lens must be allowed to completely dry prior to use.
STORAGE
Remove the battery when meter is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions
exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications section, allow the meter to return to normal operating conditions before using.

  4. If the tester indicates that the receptacle is not wired correctly, consult a qualified electrician.

GFCI RECEPTACLES

  1. Check the GFCI receptacle user manual for information on how the specific receptacle operates prior to using this tester.

  2. Insert the tester into the receptacle under test to check for correct wiring (See FIG. 2). Lights on the tester should illuminate.

  3. Press the “TEST” button on the GFCI receptacle. Did the GFCI trip and the lights on the tester go dark?
    YES: Reset the GFCI by pressing the reset button. Proceed to step 4.
    NO: The GFCI is not operating properly or the receptacle is miswired.
    Consult a qualified electrician.

  4. Press and hold the test button on the tester for 7 seconds. Did the GFCI trip and the lights on the tester go dark?
