THERMO SCANNER MODE

The Thermo Scanner Mode uses a sensor built into the watch to measure the
surface temperature of an object with the touch of a button.

Warning!

• The Thermo Scanner of this watch is not a precision measurement.
Its readings should be regarded as reasonably accurate values only.

• Getting too close to a very hot object creates the risk of burn injury, even
if you do not actually touch the object. Make sure you do not get too close
to hot objects when performing Thermo Scanner measurements.

• Do not rely on Thermo Scanner readings to determine whether or not
a very hot or very cold object is safe to touch.

• Do not use the Thermo Scanner as a clinical thermometer.

• The temperature reading produced by the Thermo Scanner indicates

only the surface temperature, and not the actual temperature of an
object.

How the Thermo Scanner Measures Temperature

The Thermo Scanner doesn’t actually measure temperature directly. Instead,
it calculates the temperature of an object after detecting how much infrared
radiation is being emitted by the object. All objects emit infrared radiation in
accordance with their temperature, their constituent material, and their
surface properties. The intensity of radiation that an object emits (due to the
material it is made out of and its surface properties) is called its
The Thermo Scanner of this watch calculates temperatures based on the
amount of infrared radiation detected and preset emissivity values.

• Setting the correct emissivity value for the object whose temperature you
are measuring helps to ensure results that are more accurate.

• The initial factory default emissivity setting is 0.95, because this is the most
common emissivity for object we encounter in daily life.

Note

• The area measured by the Thermo Scanner
is roughly equivalent to a circle whose
diameter can be approximated by the
formula: d (diameter) = D × 0.78.

The value of “D” is the distance in centimeters
between the object and the sensor.

REFERENCE

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch
operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various
features and functions of this watch.

Moon Phase Indicator

The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the current phase of the
Moon as shown below.

• The left-right orientation of the Moon phase is reversed when viewing from
the Southern Hemisphere or from a point near the equator.

• The Moon phase indicator displayed in the Timekeeping Mode and Alarm
Mode is based on Timekeeping Mode (home site) data. The indicator
displayed in the Site Mode and Moon Data Mode is based on data for the
site that is currently selected in the Site Mode. There is no Moon phase
indicator in the Thermo Scanner Mode.

Moon Phases and Moon Age

The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle during which it appears to
wax and wane due to how the Sun illuminates the Moon and the relative
positioning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The greater the angular distance
between the Moon and the Sun,* the more we see illuminated.

The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible

*

from the Earth.

The Moon age indicates the number of days from the New Moon to any
particular phase. It is normally calculated using either noon or midnight as a
reference point. This watch calculates the Moon age based on the angular
distance of the Moon at noon, which can result in an error of ±1 day. Because
of this, the appearance of the Moon phase indicator may be different from
that of the actual Moon.
The watch uses the following formula to calculate Moon age.
Moon Age (days) = 29.53 × (Moon angular distance / 360°)

Tide Graph

The black bar on the watch’s tide graph indicates the current tide.

High tide High tideLow tide

• The tide graph displayed in the Timekeeping Mode and Alarm Mode is
based on Timekeeping Mode (home site) data. The graph displayed in the
Site Mode and Moon Data Mode is based on data for the site that is
currently selected in the Site Mode. There is no tide graph in the Thermo
Scanner Mode.

Tidal Movements

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and
other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between
the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The tide
graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit
over the meridian and the lunitidal interval. The lunitidal interval differs
according to your current location, so you must specify a lunitidal interval in
order to obtain the correct tide graph readings.

Lunitidal Interval

Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is
about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors
such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential
between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time
differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are
known as the “lunitidal interval.” When setting the lunitidal interval for this
watch, use the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian

high

tide.

Auto Return Features

• If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two
or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically
saves anything you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.

• If you leave the watch in any mode for about three minutes without
performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping
Mode.

Data and Setting Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in various modes and screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons
during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.

digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the A (AM) indicator
appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to
11:59 a.m.

• With the 24-hour format, times are indicated in the range of 0:00 to 23:59,
without any indicator.

2030-5

Site Mode

• The current time in all Site Mode sites is calculated in accordance with the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each site, based on the
current time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) data.

Backlight Precautions

• The electro-luminescent panel loses illuminating power after very long use.

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed

under direct sunlight.

• The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. It
does not indicate malfunction of the watch.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

Auto light switch precautions

• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the
auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery
life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the
auto light switch feature.

More than 15 degrees
too above

• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the
auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back
to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward
you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it
hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

• Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second
after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily
indicate malfunction of the backlight.

• In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch is
automatically turned off approximately six hours after you turn it on.

• The backlight may not light if the face of the
watch is more than 15 degrees above or
below parallel. Make sure that the back of
your hand is parallel to the ground.

• The backlight turns off in about two
seconds, even if you keep the watch
pointed towards your face.

Thermo Scanner Mode

Measurement Precautions

• The temperature reading produced by the Thermo Scanner indicates only
the surface temperature and not the actual temperature of the object.
Measuring the temperature of your hand, for example, displays the
temperature of your skin surface, not your body temperature. Note that
surface temperature is affected by surrounding temperature and other
factors.

• Accurate measurements are not possible for the following types of objects.

Type of Object Description

Metal objects, objects coated
with shiny paint (gold, silver,
etc.) and other objects with
low emissivity

Flame

Air or gas

• Take care to keep the sensor lens free of dirt, dust, chemicals, and other
foreign matter. A dirty or damaged lens makes accurate measurement
impossible.

• Leaving the watch in a closed automobile under direct sunlight or
otherwise subjecting it to high temperatures can cause the sensor to
overheat, which makes accurate measurement impossible.

• Fluctuation of the temperature of the watch itself (due to taking the watch
outdoors on a cold day, etc.) can cause unstable sensor temperature,
making accurate measurement impossible.

• Avoid keeping the watch too close for long periods to objects that
continuously generate high heat (like a hot plate), which can cause
overheating of the watch.

• Any of the following causes the measurement operation to be cancelled:
changing to another mode, sounding of an alarm or hourly time signal,
turning on the backlight, display of the emissivity value, changing the
emissivity value setting, measurement error.

• Such objects reflect surrounding infrared
radiation.

• Measurements are possible for dull
painted metal and dark metal with no
visible shininess.

• Temperatures are too high

• Some infrared radiation may also be

picked up from background objects.

• The Thermo Scanner can pick up infrared
radiation from solids and liquids only.

Measurement Range

The area measured by the Thermo Scanner increases the further you are
from the object. Make sure you are close enough to the object so the area
measured remains within the surface area of the object.
Also, remember that the temperature value displayed by the watch is the
average temperature for the entire area measured.

Emissivity

The intensity of infrared radiation that an object emits (due to the material it is
made out of and its surface properties) is called its
emissivity values have been established for a number of objects. Emissivity is
expressed as a value that represents the ratio of the radiation intensity of a
real body to the radiation intensity of a blackbody*, which is 1.
* blackbody: A total absorber that absorbs all the energy that falls upon it.
Generally speaking, the emissivity of human skin, wood, and paper is high,
while that of aluminum, and other metals is low. Metals whose surfaces are
oxidized (non-lustrous finish) tend to have high emissivity, while polished
(lustrous) surfaces tend to have low emissivity.

Note

• Low emissivity objects (especially those with a lustrous, metallic finish)
tend to reflect infrared radiation emitted by surrounding objects, and so
accurate temperature readings are impossible.

• For more accurate Thermo Scanner readings from a particular type of
object, measure the temperature of the object using another measurement
device you know to be accurate, and then use the Thermo Scanner to take
a reading of the object. Next, adjust the emissivity value until the reading
produced by the Thermo Scanner is the same as the other instrument.

• The “EMISSIVITY VALUES” provides emissivity values for a number of
different objects. Note that these values are for reference purposes only.
Other factors can also affect emissivity.

Watch temperature
is outside the range
of –20°C to 60°C
(–4°F to 140°F).

Measured
temperature is
outside the range of
–20°C to 200°C
(–4°F to 392°F).

Sudden rise or fall
of watch tempera­ture.

Sensor sensitivity
could not be
calibrated correctly.

Battery power is
low

Watch temperature
is too cold

Keep watch out or direct
sunlight and other areas where
it is exposed to temperature
extremes.

Perform measurements only on
objects whose temperatures
are within the allowable range.

Wait for about 10 minutes to
allow watch temperature to
stabilize.

Cancel the measurement
(press C to return to the
Timekeeping Mode) and try
again.

Contact your CASIO Service
Center to have the battery
replaced.

The error should clear when the
watch returns to normal
temperature. Try measuring
again after the watch returns to
normal temperature.

Thermo Scanner Measured Value Problems

Problem Possible Cause What to do

Measured value
is considerably
higher or lower
than the actual
temperature of
the object.

Large differences
between
temperatures or
the same
temperature value
for various
objects

Flashing

Wrong emissivity value
setting

Dirty sensor lens

Scratched sensor lens
Damaged sensor

Sensor malfunction

Set the emissivity value that
matches the object.

Rinse the lens with cold or
warm water and then wipe off
all remaining moisture with a
cotton swab.

Contact your CASIO Service
Center.

(Emissivity) Indicator during a Thermo Sensor

Measurement

Check the current setting and change it if necessary. If the setting is correct,
you can perform measurements even though

is flashing on the display.

Cleaning the Sensor Lens

A clean sensor lens helps to ensure more accurate
temperature readings.

To clean the lens

Rinse the lens with cold or warm water and then wipe off
all remaining moisture with a cotton swab, taking care
not to scratch the lens.
The lens may be dirty, even though you cannot see any
dirt or dust on it. Because of this, you should make it a
habit to clean the lens periodically.

Important!

• Acids (including fruit juices, etc.) can permanently damage the lens and
make accurate measurements impossible. Should any acidic matter get
onto the lens, rinse it off immediately.

• Accurate measurements are impossible whenever there is condensation,
water droplets, snow, or any other moisture on the lens. Before
measurements, wipe off all moisture with a cotton swab, taking care not to
scratch the lens.

• Avoid scratches by keeping scissors, needles, and other pointed objects
away from the lens.
