INTRODUCTION
The RS 1327 hand-held Infrared Thermometer is easy to use and operate. The thermometer has a laser to assist in sighting the sensor for making measurements. The Liquid Crystal Display has a backlight function which may be turned on to assist measurements made in a dark place. Other features include reading auto-hold, auto power-off, maximum and minimum readings, all of which can be selected for maximum operating convenience.
The instrument does not rely on physical contact with the object whose temperature is to be taken, but measures the radiated infrared energy from the object. This allows temperature measurements to be made of items such as rotating machinery, bus-bars carrying electric current, or inaccessible objects which would be difficult or hazardous to touch.
. SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter.
Laser Safety Warning
LASER RADIATION DO
EN 60825-1:1994/A11:1996
If the MEAS button is pressed while the symbol is shown on the LCD, the meter will radiate the lase r. To prevent injury , do not look or stare into the beam. Do not point the l aser directly a t eyes or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
˙ If the target object has a smooth surfa ce, the laser may be reflected
and create a hazard.
˙ Do not radiate the laser at flammable gasses or other possible
2
sources of ignition.
2. Precautions: a). Do not operate the thermometer in the presence of strong
electrical or magnetic f i elds, as this may prevent c orrect operation.
b). Use and store the thermometer away from direct sunlight
or other strong source of light, high temperatures, high humidity or dust.
c). If the thermometer has been kept in area of high or low
temperature, wait until it has reached a stable temperature before use.
d). Condensation may form on the focal lens if the
thermometer is moved quickly from a cold to a hot environment. Before taking measurements, wait for the condensation to dissi pate.
e). Do not touch the foc al lens.
3. Environmental conditions: a). Altitude up to 2000 meters.

4. Maintenance & Clearing: a). Repairs or servicing should only be carried out by
competent persons using the correct parts, test equipment and procedures. If repair or servicing is required, contact the supplier or RS Components. The address is given at the end of these instructions.
b). Periodically clean the case with a dry cloth. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
5. Safety symbols: Complies with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC
