Control Company INFRARED THERMOMETER WITH WRISTBAND User Manual

TRACEABLE® INFRARED THERMOMETER WITH WRISTBAND INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIFICATIONS

Range: –67° to 482°F / –55° to 250°C Resolution: 0.1° (-9.9° to 199.9°) 1° (otherwise)

OPERATION

Press and continue to hold down the SCAN button to take temperature readings. The unit will take temperature readings while the SCAN button is pressed and held.

After the SCAN button is released, the last temperature measured will be displayed for approximately 20 seconds, the display will then turn off automatically.

SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE

Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the display. Once the display is on (and the SCAN button has been released), press the MODE button four (4) times (°F or °C will flash on the display). Press the SCAN button to switch the unit of measure.

LASER TARGETING

The thermometer will take temperature measurements without activating the laser targeting by partially pressing and holding the SCAN button. To take temperature measurements and activate the laser targeting, completely press and hold the SCAN button. CAUTION: Eye damage may result from direct exposure to laser light.

DISTANCE SPOT/RATIO

There are other factors that may affect measurement accuracy. The target must completely fill the spot diameter seen by the infrared sensor; otherwise readings will be influenced by the surface surrounding the target. The ratio of the distance to the size of the spot being measured is 6:1. For example, an object’s diameter of 100mm can be measured from 600mm.

MIN/MAX MODES

MIN Mode – While in the MIN mode, the unit will display only the minimum temperature that has been measured while the SCAN button is being pressed. The display is updated as new minimum temperatures are measured.

To activate MIN mode:

1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the display.

2. Press the MODE button until MIN appears on the display.

3. Press and hold the SCAN button to begin taking measurements.

MAX Mode – While in the MAX mode, the unit will display only the maximum temperature that has been measured while the SCAN button is being pressed. The display is updated as new maximum temperatures are measured.

To activate MAX mode:

1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the display.

2. Press the MODE button until MAX appears on the display.

3. Press and hold the SCAN button to begin taking measurements.

LOCK FUNCTION

The lock function allows the thermometer to take measurements without having to press and hold the SCAN button. When the lock function is activated, the

unit will take continuous temperature measurements for 60 minutes and will then turn off automatically to preserve battery life.

To activate the lock mode:

1. Press the SCAN button to turn on the display.

2. Press the MODE button until LOCK flashes on the display.

3. Press and release the SCAN button to begin taking temperature measurements (LOCK will appear solid {not flashing}, to indicate that the unit is in the lock mode and is taking measurements).

Laser Targeting is not available while in the LOCK mode.

To exit the lock mode, press and release the SCAN button (LOCK will no longer appear on the display).

EMISSIVITY

The emissivity adjustment is optional. Emissivity adjustments are used to provide a truer temperature reading. Different materials radiate infrared energy at slightly different temperatures. The emissivity adjustment is used to compensate for different types of materials. The default emissivity of 0.95 will cover 90% of typical applications.

The emissivity table provides a guide of different emissivity

values for different materials.

When the emissivity of an object is unknown use a noninfrared thermometer, such as a thermometer with a surface probe to measure the object’s surface temperature. Adjust the emissivity until the temperature of the infrared thermometer matches the temperature of the surface probe. The resulting emissivity value from this method may be used to measure similar materials.

To adjust the emissivity (optional):

1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the display.

2. Press the MODE button five (5) times [95E (or whatever emissivity value has been set) will appear on the display].

3. To adjust the emissivity value, partially press the SCAN button to advance the value. (Completely pressing the

SCAN button while adjusting the emissivity will activate

the laser targeting). Once the maximum value of 100 is

reached, the display will roll over to the minimum value of 5.

The emissivity can be set from 0.05 to 1.00 (5 to 100 on the display).

4. Once the desired emissivity value appears on the display, press the MODE button to confirm the value.

This emissivity value will be used for all temperature

measurements until the value is reset.

DISPLAY MESSAGES

HI Appears when the temperature being measured is

outside the temperature range of the unit (higher limit).

LO Appears when the temperature being measured is

outside the temperature range of the unit (lower limit).

Er2 Appears when the unit is exposed to rapid changes

in ambient temperature.

Er3 Appears when the ambient temperature is below

32°F (0°C) or above 122°F (50°C).

Er Appears when the unit needs to be reset. To reset

the unit, remove the batteries, wait 2 minutes and then reinstall the batteries.

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES

If this thermometer does not function properly for any reason, replace the batteries with new high-quality batteries (see Battery Replacement section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the batteries with new fresh batteries will solve most difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Erratic readings, faint readings, no display, or appearing on the display are all indications that the batteries must be replaced. Open the battery covers by turning them ⅛ of a turn in the direction of the OPEN arrows (clockwise). (Be

careful not to turn the cover more than ⅛ of a turn, as this

may damage the battery cover.) Remove the exhausted

batteries and replace them with two (2) new CR2032 lithium batteries. Make certain to install the new batteries with the positive (+) side facing out. Replace the battery covers by lining up the tabs and turning the cover approximately 1/8 of a turn counter-clockwise until the cover snaps into position. (Be

careful not to turn the cover after is has snapped into position, as this may damage the battery cover.)
