1. SAFETY

1.1. General Safety

 WARNING! Ensure that Health & Safety, local authority and general workshop practice regulations

are adhered to when using this equipment.

 WARNING! DO NOT aim the laser beams at your or another person’s or animal’s eye and beware

of reflections from mirrors or other shiny surfaces.

9 Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and potential hazards of the thermometer. 9 Keep the thermometer clean and in good condition. 9 Protect the thermometer from the following:

Electro-magnetic fields from engine components, arc welders and induction heaters closer than 125mm. Static electricity. Thermal shock caused by large and/or rapid ambient temperature change. High temperatures.

8 DO NOT get the thermometer wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation. 8 DO NOT take readings through transparent materials such as glass or clear plastic. The surface

temperature of these materials will be measured.

8 DO NOT use the thermometer in areas where there is steam, dust or smoke. These conditions will

result in erroneous readings.

8 DO NOT use the thermometer for any purpose other than that for which it is designed. 8 DO NOT allow untrained persons (particularly children) to operate the thermometer. 8 DO NOT operate the thermometer when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or

intoxicating medication.

1.2. Laser Safety

The VS900.V3 utilises a Class II laser that emits low levels of visible radiation (i.e. wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometres) which are safe for the skin but not inherently safe for the eyes. The Class II emission limit is set at the maximum level for which eye

use of alcohol or drugs. WARNING! DO NOT look or stare into the laser beam as permanent eye damage could result. Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or other shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye exposure.

2. INTRODUCTION

High resolution laser thermometer that detects energy emission in the infrared spectrum and converts reading into a display of temperature. Features laser pointer, data hold function and auto power off. Temperature is displayed on a large 23mm LCD panel with back-lit display for use in low light areas. Temperature can be shown in either °C or °F. The Digital Thermometer is powered by a 9V cell (supplied).

4. SET UP

4.1.  Installing/ChangingBattery(g.1)

4.1.1. On either side of the trigger, where the handle moulding meets the main body there are two very shallow recesses. Place thumb and finger into these recesses and pull the front section of the handle forward and down to reveal the battery compartment.

4.1.2.  Attachthebatteryconnectortothebatteryterminalsandplacethebatteryintothebatterycompartment    making sure that the connection leads will not foul the cover when it is closed.

4.1.3. When the ‘battery low’ indicator appears on the display replace the battery immediately, (See Environmental Protection)

5. OPERATION AND APPLICATION

5.1.  Depressthetrigger(1)ing3toswitchontheunit,the‘SCAN’iconwillilluminate.

5.2.  Decidewhatunitsarerequiredbypressingthe‘°C/°F’button(3)ing3.Thebuttonwilltoggle 

 betweenthespeciedunits.

5.3. Pay attention to the distance from the thermometer to the target as the

 targetsurfacesizeincreaseswithdistance.Aratioof12:1exists,seeg2.      

Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer the distance “D”. When accuracy is critical ensure the target is at least twice the spot size.

5.4. The unit is equipped with a laser for the purpose of aiming only. With the

 laserbutton(2)ing3inthe‘on’or‘o󰀨’mode,aimatthetargetsurface      

and depress the trigger. The temperature of the target surface will be displayed on the LCD display screen. When the trigger is released the reading will be held for 7 seconds approximately; the ‘HOLD’ icon will be illuminated in this period; and then the thermometer will automatically shut down unless the trigger is depressed again.

5.5. To locate a hot spot on a large surface, aim the thermometer as in 4.4, then scan across the area with a controlled uniform “zig-zag”

sweep until youlocatethespot,asillustrateding4.

6. NOTES ON EMISSIVITY

6.1. Emissivity is a term used for the ability of a surface to radiate energy. This unit has been pre-set with an emissivity of 0.95, which

makes it suitable for 90% of typical applications.

6.2. Inaccurateresultswilloccurwhentargetingshinyorpolishedsurfaces.Asatip,applyanonreectivetapetotheareatobe 

tested allowing time for the surface temperature of the tape to reach that of the substrate.

7. CLEANING

7.1. The sensor lens is delicate and should be kept clean at all times. Use a cotton bud and medical alcohol, allowing lens to dry. The

casing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and mild soap but never submerged.
