4.3 Measurement Procedures
4.3.1 Temperature Measurement
Hold the instrument by its handle, point the IR Sensor to the
area or object to measure, and press the Measurement Trigger.
While the Measurement Trigger is kept pressed, the
thermometer is continuously measuring the temperature of the object pointed at, with the IR Sensor.
When the Measurement Trigger is released the instrument will
hold the last temperature reading for 7 seconds, and then shut
off automatically.
4.3.2 Field of view or measurement target area
3.2 Measurement Specifications
Accuracies are ±(% of reading + number of least significant dig-
its) at 23°C ±5°C ambient temperature, with less than 75% RH.

To take the most accurate temperature measurements, make
sure that the target object is larger than the unit spot size, at any
given measuring distance.
The smaller the target the closer you should be.
For maximum accuracy make sure that the target area is at
least twice as large as the spot size.
4.3.3 Selecting Temperature Units (°C/°F).
Make sure the instrument is turned ON, if not press the
• Measurement Trigger.
Pressing the “°F” button will select Fahrenheit Degrees as the
• temperature measurement units.
Pressing the “°C” button will select Celsius Degrees as the
• temperature measurement units.
Temperature reading and measurement units will display
• on the LCD.
4.4 Other Functions
4.4.1 Display Hold
The instrument will automatically hold the last temperature
reading after the Measurement Trigger has been released for approx. 7 sec.
4.4.2 Display Backlight
Make sure the instrument is turned ON, if not press the
Measurement Trigger.
Pressing the Backlight ON/OFF Button, will turn the display
backlight ON or OFF. When the backlight is not needed, turn it off to prolong
battery life.
4.4.3 Laser Pointer
CAUTION: Laser Radiation is emitted
Avoid direct eye contact
To turn the laser sight ON or OFF, press the “LASER” button,
when the unit is ON. The laser sight indicator will appear on the display when the laser sight function is ON.
Note: In order to prevent injuries from an unexpected laser beam when the instrument is turned ON, every time the unit is turned ON by pressing the Measurement Trigger, the laser pointer is turned OFF, and if needed should be turned ON as explained above.
5.2 Cleaning
5.2.1 Lens cleaning
Debris or dirt on the lens may cause obstruction and reduce the accuracy of the thermometer. If this occurs, either wipe the lens with a Q-tip (moistened with water only) or blow off the loose particles with clean compressed air. Do not use solvent on the
lenses, as it may become damage.
5.2.2 Exterior cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a soft damp cloth and mild household cleanser. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure that no water gets inside the instrument to prevent possible shorts and damage.
6. WARRANTY
One year limited warranty, excluding batteries and fuses. For details see Standard Warranty Information on our web page or you may request a printed copy.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Battery Replacement
When the battery is low and needs to be replaced, the “Low Bat-
tery Warning” symbol will appear on the lower left hand side of the display.
To replace the battery, open the battery compartment cover
(located at the front of the handle) by pulling on the finger indents near the trigger, and remove the battery.
Replace with a new 9 V alkaline battery type NEDA 1604 or
IEC6F22 observing the proper polarity when connecting to the battery terminals.
Close the battery cover.
