HI 99550 is warranted for two years against defects in workman­ship and materials when used for its intended purpose and maintained
according to instructions. This warranty is limited to repair or replacement
free of charge.

Damages due to accident, misuse, tampering or lack of prescribed main­tenance are not covered.

If service is required, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the
instrument. If under warranty, report the model number, date of purchase,
serial number and the nature of the failure. If the repair is not covered by
the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument
is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods
Authorization Number from the Customer Service department and then
send it with shipment costs prepaid. When shipping any instrument, make
sure it is properly packaged for complete protection.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Infrared radiation emitted from an object depends on its tem­perature. The HI 99550 infrared thermometer employs this tech-
nology to measure the surface temperature. Infrared measure­ments are extremely practical with an instantaneous response
time. The non-intrusive nature of the measurements can trans­late itself into substantial savings in industries where products
are sealed or pre-wrapped. This type of non-intrusive measure­ment is also useful when the surface temperature is high, for
difficult-to-reach places or due to hygiene requirements.
In order to measure the temperature, simply point to the product
or the spot and hold down the measurement key. The measured
value will be immediately displayed on the LCD.
HI 99550 is designed with a wrist-strap and ergonomic shape for
greater ease of use.
The fast response time and the HOLD function make this infrared
meter particularly attractive for repetitive tests in the factory or
on the production line.
Two models are available for measurement in degree Celsius or
Fahreneit (HI 99550-00 and HI 99550-01).

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

Temperature Measurement

To obtain the temperature of
an object, simply aim the sen­sor in the direction of the
object. Keep the “ON/OFF”
button pressed for a few sec­onds until the reading
stabilizes.

The instrument will continue
reading the temperature,
while the “ON/OFF” button is
pressed. When released, the
instrument freezes the read­ing for a few seconds and
then switches off automati­cally.

Reading Distance

The distance between the sensor and the object is an
important factor in the infrared measurement.

The relation between “distance/object area” of the instrument
is 3:1. This means that the diameter of the measured area is
one third of the distance between the sensor and the object.

For example, if the sensor is 15 cm away from the object, the
instrument measures the temperature of an area with a 5 cm
diameter.

To measure substances that have a polished surface and are
very reflective, the emissivity needs to be compensated.

It is advisable to cover the object with black paint or black
adhesive tape to compensate for the reflectivity.

Precaution

To avoid damage, do not hold the sensor too close to a heat
source, for a long period.

Sensor Cleaning

To maintain the instrument’s accuracy, it is important that
the sensor lens is kept clean.

To clean the sensor gently pass a humid and non-abrasive
cloth (HI 731318) on the lens.

Low Battery

A blinking “V” on the
display indicates a low
battery level.

It is recommended to replace the battery soon.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Battery replacement must only take place in a safe area and
using a 9V alkaline battery.

Simply slide off the battery cover on the back of the meter,
detach the battery from the terminals and attach a new 9V
battery, while paying attention to the correct polarity.

Recommendations for Users

Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment
in which they are used.

Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unacceptable interferences to
radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct
interferences.

Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instruments'
EMC performance.

To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.

Emissivity

The instrument measures the temperature of objects with an
emissivity of 0.95, which is the characteristic of most sub­stances such as organic material, water, plastic, fabrics, etc.
