Product Usage Instructions

Overview

The TemPro 550 is an IR Thermometer designed for non-contact temperature measurements at the touch of a button. It features a built-in laser pointer for increased target accuracy, a backlight LCD, and convenient push buttons for ergonomic operation.

Measurement Foundation

The TemPro 550 can be used to measure the temperature of objects’ surfaces that are unsuitable for traditional contact thermometers, such as moving objects, surfaces with electrical currents, or objects that are difficult to touch.

A: To change the battery in the TemPro 550, follow these steps.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the thermometer.
2. Remove the cover by sliding it in the direction indicated.
3. Replace the old battery with a new 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Q: Can the TemPro 550 measure the temperatures of moving objects accurately?

A: Yes, the TemPro 550 is designed to measure the temperature of moving objects accurately due to its non-contact infrared technology.

Review

• TemPro 550 is an IR Thermometer for non-contact 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.
• TemPro 550 can be used to measure the temperature of objects’ surfaces that is improper to be measured by a traditional (contact) thermometer (such as moving objects, the surface with electricity current, or objects that are uneasy to be touched).

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 ambient temperature.
• 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 the detector.
• The unit’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading, which is displayed on the unit. The laser is used for aiming purposes only.

Specifications

Safety requirements

• Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). To compensate, cover the measuring surface with masking tape or flat black paint.
• Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material under it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
• The unit cannot be measured 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.
• 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.

Operation

Preparation before operation

• Read the operating manual before using the instrument.
• Take the instrument out of the case.
• Open the battery cover and put 9V battery.

Thermometer On/Off

• Pull and hold the trigger (4) 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.
• The meter will automatically power down after approximately 20 seconds after the trigger is released.

°C/°F

• To choose the measuring unit press button (6).

EMS adjustment

• The emissivity (EMS) – 0.95. To obtain more accurate values see appendix 1.

Laser pointer

• The laser pointer is on when you turn on the unit. To turn off the laser pointer, press button (7) LASER.

Backlight

• The backlight is on when you turn on the unit. To turn off the backlight, press button (8) BACKLIT.

Measurement operation

• Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it towards the surface to be measured. Pull and hold the trigger (4) to turn the meter on and begin testing.
• Release the trigger (4) and the HOLD display icon will appear on display indicating that the reading is being held.

Distance to spot size

• When taking measurements, pay attention to the Distance to Spot Size. As the Distance (D) from the target surface increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The Distance to Spot size of the unit is 12:1.
• This unit is equipped with a laser, which is used for aiming.

Maintenance

• The maintenance of the thermometer includes the replacement of the power supply, cleaning the unit with a dry cloth, and also debugging. Periodically, one time per year it is necessary to check settings in an authorized service center.

Specific reasons for instrument malfunctions
