Relation of Distance
and Measuring Diameter
The relation between the distance and measuring diameter is as
follows.
The more the distance increases, the larger area is needed.
For accurate reading, a sufficient measuring area should be
ensured.
The above measuring diameter is defined as an area which allows
capture of more than 90% of energy.

Maintenance
Measuring Window
The measuring window applies a waterproof structure (IP67). If
water-soluble stains adhere to the window, wash the measuring
window with the tap water. Dry the measuring window well after
washing. Please note that measurement with the measuring window
wet will cause inaccurate readings. If oil-soluble stains adhere to the
measuring window, wipe it with a cloth dipped in the diluted neutral
detergent and rinse it.
Note
Do not use chemical agents such as thinner, benzin or alcohol since
these may cause a crack or fog on the surface of the measuring
window, and consequently it may change the infrared radiation
transmittance of the plastic lens.
Plastic Lens
Dust, stains and scratches on the measuring window cause
inaccurate readings. Wipe such stains off with a soft cloth or cotton
bud for camera or glasses. To get rid of tough stains, remove the top
hood(rubber)by drawing it, wipe the lens with a cloth dipped in the
diluted neutral detergent and rinse it. After getting rid of the stains,
put the top hood back to the previous place by putting the projection
along its edge and the ones on the case together. After putting it,
make sure of fitting it to the correct position.

Troubleshooting
Symptoms Cause Countermeasures
No display appears Batteries have been exhausted or they are not placed
correctly.
Replace or place them correctly.
Laser beam is not emitted or is
weak.
Battery voltage is low. Measurement is possible. Replace batteries when the laser marker is
necessary.
Plastic lens is dirty. Clean the plastic lens referring to the “Maintenance” section.
A heat source nearby affects. Shield the heat source by a shielding plate.
Emissivity is not selected properly. If emissivity is unknown, refer to “Reference” section. Also, measure the
temperature by a contact type thermometer and select adequate emissivity
so that temperature of this instrument becomes equivalent to that of the
contact type thermometer.
Abnormal reading
Measuring target area is too small. Check the target area and keep a sufficient area for measurement.
Unstable reading Unit is affected by a rapid temperature change. Leave the unit for stabilizing its temperature and measure.
No reading appears but display is
‘OL.’
Out of measuring temperature range. Check the target to be measured.
Caution
LTM-100 is one of the portable
laser applied instruments which
are regulated by the consumer
product safety law.
? Do not look into the laser beam.
? Do not aim the laser beam at
human beings.
? Keep the instrument out of
children’s reach.
Please follow the precautions below for use to keep
the instrument’s functions proper and to enable
accurate measurement.
Safety Precautions
? Do not contact this product with a measuring object.
This is a contactless thermometer. Contact with a hot section
may cause unrepairable damages or inaccurate readings.
? Do not damage the measuring window (plastic lens).
Do not contact a hard object with the measuring window.
Do not let a foreign object penetrate the measuring window,
or drop a hard object on the measuring window.
? Although this instrument applies a shockproof structure, do
not give an excessive shock to the instrument.
? Do not bring the instrument closer to an electrostatic object.
? Emissivity of this instrument can be selected (0.8 to 1.0).
When the emissivity setting is different from that of a
measuring object, an inaccurate reading will occur.
? The sudden changes of the ambient temperature will cause
inaccurate readings. Wait a while to let the temperature of the
instrument stabilize, and then measure.
? Remove batteries from the instrument, if the instrument is not
in use for a long period or is put in storage.
Environmental Precautions
? Do not use or store the
instrument in a location
where the instrument is
exposed to the direct
sunlight, dust, lampblack
and corrosive gas, or where
the temperature and/or
humidity is high. Otherwise
the measuring window gets
soiled or deteriorated, which
causes inaccurate readings.
? As this instrument applies a waterproof structure (IP67), a
slight wetting will not damage the instrument. When the
plastic lens is wet, however, wipe the lens carefully so as not
to scratch it as the wetting condition will cause inaccurate
readings.
? Keep the instrument away from an object which radiates a
strong electromagnetic wave.

Usage and Part Names
Battery
(1) Installing Batteries
Loose the screw at the lower part of the
battery cover, pressing the battery
compartment cover as shown and remove
it. Install batteries positioning the negative
and positive poles properly as shown inside
the compartment, bolt up the screw, and put
the cover back.
Note:
If the battery cover does not fit tightly, water-proof property will be deteriorated,
or the performance will be deteriorated due to water penetration in the unit.
Don’t bolt up the screw too tightly, as putting the battery compartment cover.
(2) Replacing Batteries
Residual quantity of the batteries is displayed on the low battery symbol in the
display part. When the low battery symbol becomes the batteries have
been exhausted. Replace the batteries with new ones (AAA).
Note:
When replacing batteries, do replace 2 batteries at the same time.

Measurement Display
Aim the measuring window at the measuring target, and press the
MEASURE key. Holding down the MEASURE key, confirm if the
laser beam irradiates the measuring position properly. Adjust the
position, if the laser beam does not irradiate the measuring position
properly. During holding down the MEASURE key, measuring
continues. When the MEASURE key is released, the measured
value is hold for about 30 seconds, and then the power is shut off
with the Auto Power Off function.
If the measuring window is aimed at a new target and the
MEASURE key is pressed while the measured value is being hold,
the temperature of the new target will be measured. When the
MEASURE key is released, the newly measured temperature will be
hold.
Settings
Normally only the object emissivity is selectable. The emissivity is set at
0.95 at the factory. The emissivity is displayed during measurement
(except for emissivity 0.95. When nothing appears on the display, it
means that the emissivity is 0.95.) Five variations of emissivity ranging
from 0.8 to 1.0 can be set per 0.05 steps.
The emissivity can be altered by setting the 3 digits (2nd, 3rd and 4th
digits from left) of the 4-digit slide switch in the lower part of the battery
compartment. The setting mode of the slide switch is displayed below the
battery part. Remove the batteries, and set as required according to the
displayed setting mode.
If necessary, the measurement unit can be switched to Fahrenheit (F)
(with the left most digit of the 4-digit slide switch.)

Setting Emissivity (Reference)
Quantity of infrared radiation emitted from objects depends on the
objects’ material, surface conditions, measuring temperatures and so
on. The table below shows emissivity of some objects. Please note that
these values are just for reference. Please also refer to the estimated
emissivity using the separately sold black body tape.
