INTRODUCTION

This instrument is a portable easy use compact-sized digital infrared tempera-

ture transducer designed for simple one hand operation.

SAFETY INFORMATION

It is recommended that you read the safety and operation instructions before

using the thermometer.

The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an

explanation in this manual.

1

• Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong electromagnetic radiation
or near a static electrical charge, as these may cause errors.

• Do not point the lens at the sun or at any other source of strong light. If you do, the sensor
may be damaged.

• Do not contact the lens against the object whose temperature is to be measured, or get
it dirty, allow it to be scratched, or allow any foreign material to adhere to it. Doing so
may cause errors.

• Do not touch or hold by the front cone. Temperature reading can be affected by heat
from hand.

• Do not place the meter on or around hot objects (70°C/158°F). It may cause damage
to the case.

• If the meter is exposed to significant changes in ambient temperature (hot to cold or cold
to hot). Allow 20 minutes for temperature stabilization, before taking measurement.

• Condensation may form on the lens when going from a cold to hot environment-wait 10
minutes for conden sation to dissipate befor taking measurements.

• This unit is not constructed to be water proof or dustproof, so do not use it in a very dusty
environment or in one where it will get wet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MEAS (MEASURE) Button

Depress MEAS button to turn on the meter to measure temperature. Releasing
MEAS button to stop measure temperature.

OPERATION

1. Plug the infrared temperature transducer test leads into the Vdc input jack and
common or ground input jack on the DMM. Observe polarity.

2. Set the DMM to the 2V range only, ignore the decimal point.

3. Point the lens at the object whose temperature is to be measured.

4. Press the MEAS button. Measurement is performed as long as the MEAS
button is kept pressed.

5. Referring to the spot size figure, aim the object whose temperature is to be
measured.

NOTE: Although the field of measurement (or Field of View) and the spot almost

coincide, actually the field of measurement corresponds to the diameter for
90% optical response. The object whose temperature is to be measured needs
to be larger than the measurement diameter (spot of size) by an adequate
margin at least 1.5 to 2 times larger.

6. Read the DMM diaplay.

MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS

1. Theory of Measurement
Every object emits infrared energy in accordance with its temperature. By
mesuring the amount of this radiant energy, it is possible to determine the
temperature of the emitting object.

2. About Infrared
Infrared radiation is a form of light (electromagnectic radiation), and has the
property that it, passes easily through air while it is easily absorbed by solid
matter. With an emission thermometer which operates by detecting infrared
radiation accurate measurement is possible, irrespective of the air tempera­ture or the measrement distance.

3. Emission Thermometer Structure
Infrared radiation which has been emitted from the object is focused upen an
infrared radiation sensor, via an optical system which includes a lens is
transparent to infrared rediation, an 5.3µm cut off filter. The output signal from
the infrared radiation sensor is input to an electronic circuit along with the
output signal from a standard tempeature sensor (Thermopile).

7

4. Emissivity
All objects emit invisible infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is
proportional to the object's temperature and its ability to emit IR energy. This
ability, called emissivity, is based upon the material that the object is made of
and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.10 for a very reflective
object to 1.00 for a black body. Factory set emissivity value of 0.95, which
cover 90% of typical applications.

5. If the surface to the measured is covered by frost or other material, clean it to
expose the surface.

6. If the surface to be measured is highly reflective, apply masking tape or matt
finish black paint to the surface.

7. If the meter seems to be giving incorrect readings check the front cone. There
may be condensation or debris obstructing the sensor; clean per instructions
in the maintenance section.

MAINTENANCE

Battery Replacement

Power is supplied by four 1.5V (AAA size) batteries. The "LOW BATT" red LED
lighted when replacement is needed.To replace the batteries, remove the screw
from the back of the meter and lift off the battery cover case. Remove the
batteries from battery contacts.

Cleaning

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives
or solvents.
