2 GETTING STARTED
Warning! This instrument is fitted with a Class 2 Laser.
Do not point the laser directly at the eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces as this
may cause serious damage to the eye.
To take a temperature measurement, point the sensor at the desired target and pull
the measure key.

Error 5-9, for all other error messages it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset,
turn the instrument off, remove the batteries and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert the batteries and turn on. If the error message remains please contact the Service
Department for further assistance.
‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside the
measurement range.
Note: A decimal point to the left of the centre digit of the display indicates a sub-zero temperature. See
Figure 2.

2.3 CALCULATING TARGET DISTANCE.
The Elcometer 214 has a distance-to-target ratio (D/T) of 8:1 and measures the emitted energy from a target
spot one-eighth the size of the working distance. For example, if the distance from the sensor optics to the
target is 200mm (8"), the diameter of the measured area is 25mm (1"), the minimum target area for the
Elcometer 214. See Figure 3.

4 MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
You own one of the finest digital thermometers in the world. If looked after, it will last a lifetime.
• The sensor lens is the more delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all
times
• Clean the gauge with a soft, dry cloth such as those made for cleaning eyeglasses or a cotton swab
dampened with either water or medical alcohol.
• Be careful not to scratch the LCD screen or break the glass screen.
• Do not subject the gauge to a strong impact.

To ensure accurate temperature measurements, it is important that the sensor optics do not come into
contact or near contact with extremely hot or cold sources. Exposure to such temperatures for more than a
few seconds may cause the instrument to drift by several degrees.
Debris on the lens of the sensor optics may cause obstruction and reduce the accuracy of the Elcometer
214 Infrared Thermometer. If this occurs, either wipe the lens with a cotton bud (moistened with clean water
only) or blow off the loose particles with clean compressed air.
Regular calibration checks over the life of the gauge are a requirement of quality management procedures.
Compare the Elcometer 214 Infrared Thermometer reading on samples measured with a contact
thermometer.
