Introduction

The UT301C+/UT302C+/UT303C+ ring laser infrared them1ometer can quickly and accurately determine the surface temperature by measuring the infrared energy radiated from the target surface. It is suitable for non-contact surface temperature measurement. Ring laser indication is unique to Uni-Trend, which can indicate the target area under test more accurately and intuitively.
The UT301 D+/UT302D+/UT303D+ is a dual laser infrared thermometer.
The D:S ratios are:
UT301 C+/UT301D+: 12: 1
UT302C+/UT302D+: 20: 1
UT303C+/UT303D+: 30: 1

Safety Instructions

⚠ Warning:
To prevent eye damage or personal injury, please read the following safety instructions before using the thermometer:

• Please do not irradiate people or animals with laser directly or indirectly.
• Please do not look at the laser directly or through other optical tools (telescope, microscope, etc.).

⚠ Precautions:

• Do not look directly at the laser emitter.
• Do not disassemble or modify the them1ometer or laser.
• To ensure the safety and accuracy of the thermometer, it should only be repaired by a qualified professional using the original replacement parts.
• If the battery symbol on the LCD display is flashing, please replace the battery immediately to prevent inaccurate measurement.
• Inspect the case before using the thermometer. Do not use the thermometer if it appears damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
• Please refer to the emissivity information for the actual temperature. Highly reflective objects or transparent materials can cause the measured temperature value to be lower than the actual temperature.
• When measuring high temperature surfaces, please be aware not to touch them.
• Do not use the thermometer in an environment close to flammable or explosive substances.
• Using the thermometer around steam, dust, or environments with large temperature fluctuations may lead to inaccurate temperature measurement.
• To ensure measurement accuracy, please place the thermometer in the measurement environment for 30 minutes before using.
• Avoid keeping the thermometer near a high temperature environment for long periods.

Operating Instructions

Viewing the Last Measured Value
In the off state, short press (less than 0.5s) the trigger to turn on the thermometer and the measurement data held before last shutdown will be displayed. Toggle to view the MAX/MIN/AVG/DIF value by short pressing the MODE button.

Auto Power Off
In the HOLD mode, if there is no operation for 15s, the thermometer will automatically power off and store the currently held measurement.

Manual Measurement

1. Pull and hold the trigger after aiming at the target. The SCAN icon will be flashing indicating that the target object temperature is being measured. The measurement result will be updated on the LCD.
2. Release the trigger, the SCAN icon disappears, and the HOLD icon appears, indicating that the measurement has been stopped and the last measured value is held.

Lock Measurement

1. In the HOLD interface, press the SET button for 3s to enter the lock measurement setting interface, and turn on/off the lock
   measurement by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button. When the lock measurement is turned on, short press the LOG button to perform the timing setting “00:00” for the lock measurement. At this time, the selected lime position flashes, and the time value can be adjusted by pressing the▲ or ▼ button . Set the timing to “00:00” to turn off liming function .

2. When the lock measurement is turned on, short press the trigger to enable it. The   icon will appear on the thermometer screen and the SCAN icon will flash. The thermometer will continuously measure the target temperature.

3. Pull the trigger again, the and SCAN icons disappear, and the HOLD icon appears. The thermometer stops the measurement and holds the last measured value.

4. After setting the lock measurement time (1 minute to 5 hours), the measurement starts after the activation of the lock function.
   When the set time is reached, the thermometer will automatically power off and store the last measured value. Short press (less than 0.5s) the trigger to turn on the them1ometer to view the measured value (NOTE: The measured value will be cleared by long press).

NOTE: During measurement, it is best to ensure that the measured target diameter is twice the spot size (S) of the thennometer, and then dctennined the test distance (D) according to the D:S diagram (refer to D:S part). For example, if you use the UT301C+ to measure the temperature of an object with a diameter of about 4″ (10cm), then according to the above, the spot size (S) of the thennometer should be about 2″ (5cm) for highest accuracy, and according to the D:S diagram, the measured distance (D) is about 24″ (60 cm).

Measurement Mode with Data Storage Function

   NOTE: Please follow the laser precautions when the laser is turned on to avoid damage to human or animal eyes.

D:S (Distance and Spot Size)

As the distance (D) from the target being measured to the thermometer increases, the spot size (S) on the measured area becomes larger. The relationship between the distance and the spot size is as shown below.

Field of View

Make sure that the measured target is larger than the spot size.
The smaller the target, the closer the test distance should be (please refer to D:S for the spot size at different distances).
To obtain the optimum measurement result, it is recommended that the target being measured is 2 times larger than the spot size.

Emissivity

Emissivity is a symbol of the energy radiation of a material. The emissivity of most organic materials and coated or oxidized surfaces is about 0.95. To measure the temperature of a bright metal surface, cover the surface to be tested with masking tape or matt black paint with a high emissivity setting (if it is possible), wait for a period of time, and measure the temperature of the tape or black paint surface when it reaches the same temperature on the surface of the object covered below. The total emissivity of some metals and non-metals are listed in the following table.

Maintenance

Clean
Use clean compressed air to blow away falling particles.
Use wet cotton swab to carefully wipe lens surface.
Use wet sponge or soft cloth to clean product exterior.
Do not rinse the thermometer or immerse it in water.

Battery Replacement
Install or replace a 9V alkaline battery (1604A) as follows:

1. Open the battery cover.
2. Insert the battery and pay attention to the polarity.
3. Close the battery cover.
