SAFETY INFORMATION

A Warning identiﬁes hazardous conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identiﬁes conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the product or the equipment under test.

W Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

• Read all safety information before you use the product.

• Carefully read all instructions.

• Use the product only as speciﬁed, or the protection supplied by the product can be compromised.

• Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.

• Verify the product’s operation by measuring on a known temperature source. Do not use the product if it operates incorrectly or abnormally.

• Do not use the product if it is damaged.

• See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reﬂective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.

• Remove the batteries if the product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the product.

• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.

• Use only AA alkaline batteries and follow all battery care from the manufacturer.

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

• For use by competent persons only.

W Caution

To prevent personal injury and for safe operation and maintenance of the product:

• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.

• Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery leakage.

• Do not short the battery terminals together.

• Keep batteries clean and dry.

To avoid damaging the product under measurement, protect it from the following:

• EMF (electro-magnetic ﬁelds) from arc welders and induction heaters.

• Static electricity.

• Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes — allow 30 minutes for the product to stabilize before use).

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

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

MEASUREMENT MODE Taking Measurements

Press and hold the power button for at least 2 seconds to turn the product on or off (Figure 1.1).

The product will be in measurement mode upon power on. Press down on the trigger to hold an image. Press again to return to live image (Figure 1.2). Hold the product 12 inches (30 cm) from the target (>59

F / 15 OC) and 2.4 inches (6 cm) from

the target (<59 OF / 15 OC) for best temperature accuracy. Note: Higher Distance to Spot ratios require smaller target areas to make

accurate measurements. The Distance to Spot ratio of this product is 20:1.

MENU MODE Changing Settings in the Menu

Once the product is powered on, reach the menu by clicking left on the power button. Settings that can be manipulated include hot and cold markers, color palette, emissivity, center point marker, selectable °F/°C, and timed auto power off. Enabled options will appear as blue squares while

disabled options will appear as black squares.

BACK TO MEASUREMENT

The color palette can be changed depending on the speciﬁc application of the measurement. This option allows for different viewings of an infrared image by changing the false-color presentation. Grayscale shows a more equal and linear presentation of colors to enhance detail, while Hot Iron and Rainbow combine high contrast with Grayscale.

Figure 2.2

Emissivity

DOWNENTER UP

Figure 2.3 The emissivity of the surface of a material describes its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation. Quantitatively, emissivity is the ratio of the thermal radiation from a surface to the radiation from an ideal black surface at the same temperature as given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Refer to Table 1 for the emissivity adjustment.

In measurement mode, emissivity level is shown on the bottom right of the screen. Emissivity can be changed to values between 0.10-1.00 in menu.

Note: Surfaces with an emissivity <0.60 make reliable and consistent determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the temperature measurement calculations of the product, even when emissivity and reﬂected background adjustments are attempted and performed properly.

MAINTENANCE AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean the case or lens/ window. If used and stored properly, the infrared lens on the product should require only occasional cleaning (Figure 3.1).

When necessary, to clean the lens:

1. Use a hand-squeeze air pump to gently blow off any dust or debris from the lens surface.

2. If the lens surface requires additional cleaning, use a clean, ﬁne-ﬁber cloth, micro-ﬁber cloth, or cotton swab dampened with a mild, soapy water solution. Gently wipe surface of lens to remove smudges and debris.

3. Dry with an absorbent, clean ﬁne-ﬁber or micro-ﬁber cloth.

Note: Minor smudges and dirt should not signiﬁcantly affect the performance of the product. However, large scratches or the removal of the protective coating on the infrared lens can affect both image quality and the temperature measurement accuracy.

To avoid incorrect measurements, replace the batteries when the battery indicator is low. Use only AA alkaline batteries and follow all battery care guidelines from the manufacturer. To remove the batteries, ﬁrst ensure the product is in OFF position, then unscrew the battery cover. When installing the batteries, be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery leakage. Secure the batteries by screwing the battery cover back in place (Figure 3.2).
