Functional description

The infrared thermometer BP10 uses an infrared sensor
to measure surface temperatures without contact. So
that you can accurately see where the device is measu­ring, a built in laser pointer can be switched on. The de­vice can show either the highest or lowest value of the
measurement. For the maximum or minimum value, a
temperature alarm can also be set.

Temperature measurement

• Ensure that the surface to be measured is free of
dust, dirt or similar substances.

• To be able to gain exact measurement results on sur­faces which reflect heavily, stick matt masking tape
to the surface or apply matt black paint with a very
high and known level of emissivity.

• Note the 6:1 ratio of the distance to the measuring
spot size. The larger the distance to the object, the
larger the measuring spot size and hence, the less
precise the measured result.

rement. The "SCAN" symbol (15) appears in the
display. The current measured value is shown.

2. Release the "MEAS" button (2).

– The device stops measuring. The "HOLD"

symbol (16) appears in the display. Depending on
the setting of the device, either the maximum or
minimum value of the last measurement is shown.

The device switches off after approx. 10 seconds without
being used.
