Noncontact Thermometer
With Probe
USER’S MANUAL
This meter is a convenient non-contact infrared
thermometer with probe. This thermometer combines two precision thermometers in one unit: a noncontact infrared thermometer and a resistance thermal device penetration probe. The noncontact mode can be used for quick scans of a surface temperature, while the probe mode is used to accurately measure internal temperatures.
2 Safety Information
·Please read the following information carefully before using the meter.
Warning: Do not point laser directly at e ye
or reflective surfaces.
Cautions: When ambie nt temperature changes quickl y, must
wait 30 minutes to balance the heat of the instrument before use. Avoiding EMF(electro magnetic fields) from arc weld, induction furnace, etc… Do not leave the unit on or near high temperature objects. Keeping t he i ns tr um e nt clea n, a nd d o no t ge t d us t into detecting hole.

5 Operation Instruction 5-1. Measurement method of the Infrared
Point the infrared sensor to t he object, and t hen press the “SCAN” button, the unit begins working, and the laser appears.
Read the measured result from the LCD display. Release the “SCA N” b utton, t he measur ed res ult
will hold automatically. The unit aut omati cally turns off after about 30 seconds of inactivity. To get an accurate measurement result, refer to D:S ratio.
NOTE: The infrared temperature measurements are used for screening and measuring surface temperatures only. Critical internal temperatures must be verified by using the probe. If an object surface is very sl ick, such as stainless steels, the emissivity from surface is low, and the measurement accuracy will be affected. An effective solution is that using the black adhesive tape to cover the object surface, starting the measurement until th e adhesive tape’s temperature is same as the object.
5-2. Measurement method of the probe
Open the probe to st art the unit (Both the Infrared and probe will be turned on).
The Infrared and the probe are al l enabled i n this state, but the function of auto power off will be disable d. (the meas urement met hod of t he Infrared refer to 5-1) Insert the probe at least 12mm(1/2”) into the target, then the meter will measure the core temperature automatically. The probe comes to equilibrium with the object being measured until the LCD reading is almost steady. When the highest accuracy is required, it is advisable to keep on measuring for a moment after the reading is almost steady to insure the probe ha s fully st a b i l ized an d r ea ched equ il ib rium wit h the object. NOTE: T he probe tip m ust be sterilized befo re and between measurements of food samples to avoid cross contamination.
5-3.Other function Press the “℃/℉” key during measurement can select or switch the temperature unit ℃ and ℉ (
℃/℉
switches in a
cycle ).
Warning: Do not point laser directly at e ye
or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
6 D:S ratio
The thermometer has a visual angle and visual spot size. a drawing is shown as following:
Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s visual spot size. The small er the target, t he cl oser you should be to it. The relationship between distance and spot size is 6:1, the drawing as following:
7 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The meter may be wi ped dow n wi th a we t spo nge
or cloth using a mild water based detergent or anti-bacterial soap and rinsed under a gentle stream of cold water.
NOTE:
This unit is not desi gned for co mpl ete s ubmersion
or
washing in automated dishwashers.
8 Replace batteries
If the sign “
” appears on the LCD di splay, it indicates that battery s hould be replaced. Remove the battery cover, and replace the exhausted batteries with new ones.
