IR Measurements

Taking Measurements

Point the meter toward the object being measured, then press and hold the MEASURE button.
The meter and laser will turn ON and take a reading. Read the measured temperature on the
LCD. The meter and laser turn off automatically approximately 8 seconds after the MEASURE
button is released.
The object being measured should be larger than the spot size as illustrated at right.

Measurement considerations: If the surface of an object to be measured is covered with frost,
dust or other materials, surface cleaning must be performed before accurate measurements can be
made. High Reflective Surfaces: if the surface of an object to be measured is highly reflective,
apply masking tape or apply flat black paint to the surface since black paint has a fixed emissivity
value.

Backlighting function

Press the key to turn on the LCD backlighting function. The backlight turns off automatically
approximately 8 seconds after the BACKLIGHT button is released.

Displaying ºF or ºC

Open the battery compartment, slide the switch located under the batteries (at the bottom of the
battery compartment).
