Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an
object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted
energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s
electronics translate the information into a temperature reading
which is displayed on the unit. In units with a laser , the laser is used
for aiming purposes only.

Introduction
We are confident you will find many uses for your handheld noncontact thermometer. Compact, rugged, and easy to use—just aim,
push the button, and read current surface temperatures in less than
a second. You can safely measure surface temperatures of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects without contact.

How to Operate the Unit
°C/°F and Battery
To switch between Celsius or Fahrenheit,
open the battery cover and push switch (A)
to select C or F. When necessary, replace the
9v battery as shown in diagram.
Operating the Unit
To measure a temperature, point unit
at object and push button. Be sure to
consider distance-to-spot size ratio
and field of view. If the unit is equipped
with a laser, use the laser only for aiming. See How to Accurately Measure
Temperatures.
Display
The LCD displays the current temperature in
Celsius (A) or Fahrenheit (B). The unit will
hold the reading for 7 seconds after button
is released; the word HOLD appears (C).
The presence of the battery icon indicates a
low battery (D).

Locating a Hot Spot
To find a hot spot aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, then scan across
with an up and down motion until you locate
the hot spot.
Distance & Spot Size
As the distance (D) from the object
increases, the spot size (S) of the area
measured by the unit becomes larger.
Field of View
Make sure that the target is larger than the
unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the
closer you should be to it. When accuracy is
critical, make sure the target is at least
twice as large as the spot size.

Care and Maintenance
Cautions
All models should be protected from the
following:
▲ EMF (electro-magnetic fields)
from arc welders, induction heaters
▲ Static electricity
▲ Thermal shock (caused by large
or abrupt ambient temperature
changes—allow 30 minutes for
unit to stabilize before use)
▲ Do not leave the unit on or near
objects of high temperature.

Maintenance
Lens Cleaning: Blow off loose particles
using clean compressed air. Gently brush
remaining debris away with a camel's hair
brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a
moist cotton swab. The swab may be
moistened with water. NOTE: DO NOT
use solvents to clean the plastic lens.
Case Cleaning: Use soap and water on a
damp sponge or soft cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT submerge the unit in water.
Reminders
■ Not recommended for use in measuring
shiny or polished metal surfaces
(stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).
See Emissivity.
■ The unit cannot measure through
transparent surfaces such as glass.
It will measure the surface temperature
of the glass instead.
■ Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can obstruct
accurate measurement.
Emissivity
Most organic materials and painted
or oxidized surfaces have an
emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit).
Inaccurate readings will result from
measuring shiny or polished metal
surfaces. To compensate, cover the
surface to be measured with masking
tape or flat black paint. Allow time for
the tape to reach the same temperature as the the material underneath it.
Measure the temperature of the tape
or painted surface.

CE Certification
This instrument conforms to the following standards:
• EN50081-1:1992, Electromagnetic Emissions
• EN50082-1:1992, Electromagnetic Susceptibility
Tests were conducted using a frequency range of 27–500
MHz with the instrument in three orientations. The average
error for the three orientations is ±1.0°C at 3 v/m throughout the spectrum. However, between 230 MHz and 500
MHz at 3 v/m, the instrument may not meet its stated
accuracy.
