WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death. Retain these instructions for future reference.

WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.
Class II Laser.

• Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent
eye injuries. NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this
instrument.

DO NOT

•
DO NOT

•

use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.

modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in
emission of hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe and
permanent eye injuries.

DO NOT

•

use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes,
etc. to transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in
severe and permanent eye injuries.

This product should not be used in any location that could result in

laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.

This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who

•
have not read and fully understood the instructions.

Thermometer is NOT intended for use on people or animals.

•
DO NOT

•

remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result
in serious personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous
laser irradiation.

Discontinue using the instrument immediately if it is acting abnormally

SAFE PRACTICES

This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards
associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable
dangers beyond its targeting laser, the objects being measured, as
well as the environment in which they reside, can be hazardous.
Common safety practices to follow when operating near temperature
critical environments are:

• Before using this meter, determine if an area is safe, verify correct operation
by measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

To measure temperature with the IR1, aim the meter at the object to
be measured, pull the trigger

and hold it depressed for at least 2

2

seconds. Releasing the trigger initiates Data Hold, "HOLD" will show
on the display, and the measurement will be held on the display.
If the display shows "OL" or "–OL" following a measurement, this
indicates that the surface temperature of the object being measured
is either above or below the measurement range of the meter.

TARGETING

The IR1 features a laser

to assist in targeting the measurement

5

area. Measurement areas located far away from the meter will be
larger than those close to the meter.

The meter is configured with 10:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot
ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement
area relative to the distance between the measurement location and
the IR sensor

. Typical diameters of the measurement area as a

4

function of the distance between the meter and the target area are
depicted below for 10:1 optical systems (FIG. 1).

with water or rubbing alcohol

only

. Lens must be allowed to

completely dry prior to use.

STORAGE

Remove the battery when meter is not in use for a prolonged
period of time. Do not expose to high temperatures or
humidity. After a period of storage in extreme conditions
exceeding the limits mentioned in the General Specifications
section, allow the meter to return to normal operating
conditions before using.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WIRING CONFIGURATION TESTING
Conditions indicated: wiring correct, open ground, reverse polarity,

open hot, open neutral and hot/ground reversed.
Conditions NOT indicated: quality of ground, multiple hot wires,

combinations of defects, reversal of grounded and grounding conductors.
All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be

unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.

STANDARD RECEPTACLES

1. V

erify tester operation by testing on a known live and correctly

wired receptacle.

2.

Plug tester into receptacle.

3. Compare the illuminated lights on the tester to the key code printed

on the tester.

4. If the tester indicates that the receptacle is not wired correctly

,

consult a qualified electrician.

GFCI RECEPT

ACLES

1. Check the GFCI receptacle user manual for information on how the

specific receptacle operates prior to using this tester.

2. Insert the tester into

the receptacle under test to check for correct

wiring (See FIG. 2). Lights on the tester should illuminate.

3. Press the "TEST" button on the GFCI receptacle.

Did the GFCI trip

and the lights on the tester go dark?

Reset the GFCI by pressing the reset button. Proceed to step 4.

YES:
NO:

The GFCI is not operating properly or the receptacle is miswired.

Consult a qualified electrician.

4. Press and hold the test button on the tester for 7 seconds.

Did the

GFCI trip and the lights on the tester go dark?
