1. INTRODUCTION

Simply hold the IR gun, press the trigger and aim
the laser guide at the target. Temperature results
immediately appear on the display. Non-contact
IR thermometers are especially useful for safely
measuring the temperature of hot or hazardous
objects, engines, moving machinery, food, and
inaccessible areas.

Features include °C/°F selectable scales, 4-digit
backlit LCD, laser guide, wide measuring range,
and automatic shut off.

Comes with a carrying case and a 9V battery.

2. SAFETY INFORMATION

Read the following safety information carefully before
attempting to operate or service the IR Gun.

Only qualified technicians should perform repairs.

• DO NOT submerge the IR Gun in water.

• Protect the IR Gun from water, shock, dust, and

extreme environments.

• The IR Gun may be used to measure body
temperature simply for reference. This unit is
not intended for medical evaluations.

• Dispose of properly.

• Contains a laser pointer. Keep away from children.

4. Distance-to-Spot

The distance-to-spot ratio is 12:1. As the distance
from the object increases, the spot size of the area
measured by the gun also increases.

5. MEASURING PROCEDURES

See page 4-5 for display and button locations. For best
results, allow the thermometer to adjust to the ambient
temperature for 30 minutes before use. For accurate
readings, the IR lens must be clean (pg 7).

• Slide the Laser ON/OFF Selector (5) to turn the
Laser Guide (1) on or off.

• Slide the °C/°F Selector (4) to switch temperature
units.

• Point the IR Gun at the object to be measured.

• Pull and hold the Trigger (3) to obtain a continually

updated temperature until the trigger is
released. "SCAN" (10) flashes on the display.

• Release the Trigger (3), "HOLD" (12) and last
temperature reading is displayed for about 6 seconds
until the thermometer turns off.

Notes

• Your reading may fluctuate if the IR Gun is moved
during measurement.

• Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit or
absorb energy. The factory set emissivity value of

0.95 covers about 90% of typical applications. When
measuring highly reflective surfaces, apply masking
tape to the surface or a paint that has a 0.95
emissivity. If the object is covered with frost, clear
the frost to expose the surface prior to measurement.

6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• Replace the battery when the Low Battery

Indicator (8) is displayed.

• Open the battery cover, install a fresh 9V battery

and close the cover.

7. CLEANING

To obtain accurate readings, the lens must be clean.
Clean the lens with compressed air, soft brush, or a
moist cotton swab. Do not use solvents on the lens.
Clean the case with mild soap on a cloth or sponge.

Conforms to the following standards:

• EN61326: Electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use.

• IEC61000-4-2: Electrostatic discharge immunity.

• IEC61000-4-3: Radiated, radio-frequency,

electro-magnetic field immunity test.

• IEC61000-4-8: Power frequency magnetic
field immunity test.

• CFR 1040.10 subchapter J Class II Laser Product

Tests were conducted using a frequency range
of 80~1000MHz with the unit in three orientations.
The average error is ±0.5°C (±1.0°F) at 3V/m
throughout the spectrum. However, between
781~1000MHz at 3V/m, the unit may not meet
its stated accuracy.
