FUNCTIONS/APPLICATIONS

IR-thermometer IR-T1 CONDTROL is designed for non-contact measurement of surface temperature of various objects. Ergonomic, shockproof housing, small size and weight, intuitive interface, laser spot marking, continuous measurement mode provide simple and convenient measurement of temperature of dangerous, moving, hard-to-reach distant objects at less than 1 second at just one touch of the trigger. The principle of non-contact temperature measurement is based on measuring of the intensity of infrared radiation of the object’s surface.

DELIVERY PACKAGE

Keyboard

• Check max/min values/adjust emissivity degree
  

• Switch on/off display backlight and laser spot marking

• Select measuring unit (°С or °F)/adjust emissivity degree

INSTALL/REPLACE BATTERIES

Remove the battery cover. Install the battery observing correct polarity. Put the battery cover back and push it until a click is heard. If the symbol of low battery change level appears on the display, replace the battery by a new one.
SWITCH ON/OFF
Short press the trigger to switch on the device. The device is ready to work. The device switches off automatically in 30 seconds after the last pressing on any button.
SETTINGS

1. Measuring units
   Short press button to select the measuring unit:

   • °C – degrees Celsius;
   • °F – degree Fahrenheit.
     Short press button to select the measuring unit.

2. Laser spot marking
   Short press buttonto activate laser spot marking*. Symbol  will appear on the display. To disable laser spot marking short  press button several times until symbol disappears. Laser spot marking is only used for aiming and can be switched off when working at short distance to save battery power.

   • Laser spot marking is on as long as the trigger is pressed.

3. Display backlight

Short press buttonto switch on display backlight.
Symbol will appear on the display.
To switch off the backlight short press button several times  until backight is switched off and symbol disappears.
MEASUREMENT
Short press the trigger to switch on the device. Press corresponding buttons to set the measuring unit, activate laser sport marking, display backlight if needed. Aim the device against the object of measurement and press the trigger. Measurement result will appear on the display. Long press the trigger to activate continuous measurement. Indication SCAN will appear on the display. To finish continuous measurement release the trigger. Indication of data hold HOLD will appear on the display. Measurement result as well as the minimum/maximum value will also be displayed. Short press button several times. The  minimum and maximum values are displayed alternately on the display.
EMISSIVITY
All objects emit thermal energy. Emitted energy quantity depends on the surface temperature and object emissivity. The product can measure emission on the surface of object and calculate object temperature. Objects with different surfaces but with the same temperature can emit different quantity of thermal energy. Many objects (e.g. coated metal, wood, water, skin and texture) possess high emissivity (0,9 and more), and emit more energy than glossy surfaces and uncoated metal, because their emissivity is less than 0,6. Adjustment of emissivity helps to take this feature into consideration and minimize inaccuracy of temperature measurement.

Switch on the device.
Press and hold the trigger, then long press button Symbol will start flashing on the display. Release the trigger. Value 0.95 is set by default.
Press buttonsand to adjust the emission degree. In 5 seconds the emission degree will be fixed on the display, symbol will stop flashing.

OPTICAL RESOLUTION

As the distance from the device to the object increases, the size of the measured spot on object surface increases accordingly. To determine the size of the spot (S) divide the distance from the device to the target (D) by 12.
