IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING :
Read entire Safety Notes section regarding potential hazard and proper instructions before using this meter. In this manual the word “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

FUNCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid thermal shock, the instrument should be stored at room temperature between
32˚ and 122˚F (0˚ to 50˚C).
After measurement of high temperatures, the probe may be hot for a while.
The probe of contact thermometer may be damaged if the specification of the
measurement range is exceeded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
WARNING :
To avoid electrical shock and thermometer damage, do not measure live circuit where voltage exceeding 24V AC RMS or 60V DC with the temperature probe.
WARNING : DO NOT look directly into the laser beam. Permanent eye damage may result.

The thermometer will display the minimum or maximum value during the
measurement period or until the Mode button is pressed again.
The lock mode is particularly useful for continuous monitoring of temperatures. The thermometer will continuously display the temperature (for up to 60 minutes) or until the trigger is pressed.

TAKING MEASUREMENTS
Laser:
• To take a measurement with your INF145 using the laser, simply point the aperture at an object and pull the trigger. The object’s temperature will show up on the display and update at of a rate of approximately two times per second.
• There will be a delay of approximately one second between the time you pull the trigger and the time the display comes on. There is a 15 second auto hold/auto power off if left idle.
Releasing the Trigger will enter Hold mode.
Follow these guidelines to ensure you get the most accurate reading possible:
• Be sure the measured object fills the “spot” seen by the laser targeting. The distance to-spot ratio of the INF145 is 8:1.
• This shows a one-foot spot fitting within the one-foot target area. At this distance, and anything closer, the targets temperature will be accurately measured.
NOTE: If the two-foot diameter spot includes unwanted objects in the background that are not part of the one-foot square target; the temperature of the background objects will be figured into the target temperature causing inaccurate readings.
Laser temperature value is displayed in upper display.
Probe:
Probe temperature value is displayed in lower display.
• To take a measurement with your INF145 using the probe, touch the probe at the measure target and press the Probe button to display the temperature. Press and Hold Probe button to Hold reading in probe mode. There is a 4 minute auto hold/auto power off if left idle, to preserve the battery life.
• To re-enter laser mode, press Probe button again
WARNING :
1. Do not twist the probe or rotate in the wrong direction.
2. Over stressing the probe may cause it to break.
3. After measuring high temperatures, the probe may remain hot for a while.
4. Probe is dangerous in the OPEN position. Fold the probe back into the CLOSED position when not in use.
HACCP CHECK
The “HACCP Check” is incorporated into our thermometer to indicate critical temperature zone. The HACCP zone display LED’s and back light indicate a food product stays in the safe or unsafe HACCP “Danger Zone” temperature. The green and red LED light will always be lit before power off.
HACCP Zone Display
A green LED appears with icon (4˚C) or appears with icon When temperature is in between 40˚F (4˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C) the red LED with the icon will appear and indicate the temperature has fallen within the HACCP “Danger Zone”.
indicates a safe cool or frozen condition below 40˚F
indicates a safe holding temperature above 140˚F (60˚C).

LCD ERROR MESSAGES
The thermometer incorporates virtual diagnostic messages as well. Hi or Lo is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside the temperature
range stated in the in the specifications section of this manual.
Er2 or Er3 is displayed when the thermometer is exposed to rapid temperature changes in ambient temperatures. Er3 is displayed when ambient temperature exceeds 32˚ to 122˚F (0˚to 50˚C). The thermometer should be allowed plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) to stabilize in working/room temperatures.
Er For all other error messages it is necessary to reset the thermometer. To reset, wait for auto power off, remove the batteries and wait for one minute. Reinsert the batteries, and turn on the thermometer. If the error message remains please contact UEi Service Center for assistance.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the batteries are too low for safe operation, the Low Battery indicator will display.
• Remove battery cover.
• Replace the batteries 2 (AAA).
• Replace the battery cover
EMC/RFI
Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within radio frequency electromagnetic field stength of approximately 3 volts per meter, but performance of the thermometer will not be permanently affected.
