Preface
To use the thermometer correctly and safely, please keep the following safety measures for the
operation and storage of the thermometer.
！
１ Wo rking conditions and environment
● The thermometer is designed as a handheld type. Use a tripod or a simple type universal head for long term
or fixed mounting measurement.
● The working temperature range of the thermometer is 0 to 50 °C. (No dew condensation)
● Do not use the thermometer in dusty places, etc. Remove the dust after using it.
(As for the cleaning of cover glass, refer to the clause of "9.3 Cleaning of co ver glass".)
● Be careful not to give vibration or impact to the thermometer .
● For preventing the consumption of the batteries, turn the Power Supply Switch of the thermometer off when it
is not used.
● As a glass can not transmit the infrared ray in the measuring wavelength of the thermometer, when the
thermometer measures an object through the glass, the surface temperature of t he glass is measured.
(For Model IR-AHT only)
● When the ambient temperature changes rapidly, the measured value may be influenced. When the
thermometer has been brought to a place where the ambient temperature is greatly different from the former
place, leave the thermometer for one hour and then st art the measur ement. (For Model IR-AHT only)
２ Storage
● Do not store the thermometer in hot and humid places. Make sure to store the thermometer with the lens
cap. Recommend to stores the thermometer in room temperature with a d ry pill.
● Do not leave the thermometer in extreme high ambient temperature such as beside a rear window or inside of
a trunk of cars. The thermometer may have troubles.
● When the thermometer is not used for 2 weeks or more, take out the batteries from it. Otherwise, the
thermometer may be damaged by liquid leakage of the batteries.
● When the thermometer has any trouble, please contact to CHINO' s sales agent.

Warning （May cause death or serious injury）
Make sure not see the sun through the finder of the thermometer. It may cause becoming blind.
Never directly face the objective lens to the sun to protect the detecting element. For the
measurement of high temperature objects, refer t o the clause of "5.4 C autions on measurement".
Never operate the thermometer in places where combustible or volatile gas is existed.
It is extremely dangerous to use the thermometer in such environment.
Never put the batteries into fire, or never charge, short-circuit, heat or disassem bly the batteries.
Breaking or heating of the batteries may cause fire or injury.
shock, fire or trouble.
Never touch the AC ad apter or recept acle by wet ha nds.
Never wet the AC adap ter for avoiding fire.
Wipe the dust on the AC adapter for av oiding fire.
Never use the thermometer if it has been broken, smoking or nasty smelling. These may cause
fire.
When the thermometer is broken, smoking, or nasty smelling, turn the power supply switch off at
once and take out the batteries, and cont act to CHI NO' s sales agent.

Caution（May cause injury or physical damage)
Do not use other batteries than the batteries specified.
Load the batteries so that their polarities meet the polarity marks on the battery case
polarities may cause fire, injury or damage by burst or liquid leakage of the batterie s.
Do not walk while sighting through the finder of the thermomet er.
It may cause accidents like as fall.
Set the beam attenuation filter selection knob to the beam attenuation side in advance ( in case
of Model IR-AHS on IR-AHU ) for protecting your eyes on the measurement of object exceeding

Never take the thermometer apart or convert it.
These may cause trouble and danger.
Keep the [items] and handling methods described in this instruction manual. When the
thermometer is used without keeping them, the thermometer may be damaged or not be
functioned perfectly, or may damage other equipment.
Dispose the batteries used to places specified with the d isposal proce dure specified .

1. Introduction
1.1 General
IR-AH series handheld radiation thermometers can easily measure temperature without any contact
over a wide range from -50
into memory up to maximum 1000 data.
The analysis of the temperature data can be executed easily by combining IR-AH Data Logging
Software (sold separately) with this memory function.
