Warning

• Do not stare into laser beam.

• Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reective surfaces.

• For use by competent persons only.

• Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reective surfaces.

• Replace the batteries as soon as the low-battery indicator appears.

• Verify the Tester’s operation by measuring on a known voltage source. Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally.

• Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

• To avoid a burn hazard or re, know that reective objects may be much hotter than the indicated temperature reading.

• Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects of high temperature.

• If the thermometer is used in a manner not specied by this manual, the protection provided by the thermometer may be impaired or may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Cautions

HOW THE THERMOMETERS WORK

Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reﬂected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading which the unit displays .

OPERATING THE THERMOMETER

Temperature Measurement

The Thermometer turns on when you press the trigger The Thermometer turns off when no activity is detected for 8 seconds.

To measure temperature, point the thermometer at an object and pull the trigger. You can use the laser pointer to help aim the thermometer. Pull and hold the trigger when measuring the target surface. When release the trigger, the display will hold the reading for 8 seconds. Be sure to consider distanceto-spot size ratio and ﬁeld of view. The laser is used for aiming only and is not related to temperature measurement.

The thermometer features an auto off function that automatically powers down the thermometer after 8 seconds of inactivity. To turn the thermometer on, pull the trigger.
