INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Infrared Thermometer. The compact size
lets you get into tight places while its
convenient laser targeting and high
distance to spot ratio (D:S) gives you
accurate readings on distant targets.
Precise non-contact Measurements
oo
Switchable C/ F Temperature units
Automatic Data Hold
Laser target pointer
The meter provides a simple one hand
operation, time saving to get temperature
measurement. Be sure the measured
object fills the "spot" seen by the
aperture.
There will be a delay of approximately
one-second between the time you
initially press the trigger and the time
the display comes on.
Not recommended to use in any shiny
surfaces and measure the object which
is smaller than the targeting area.
The meter is pre-set to measure objects
with an emissivity of 0.95 ( models
8888/8890).
3 emissivity points 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 are
selectable for model 8889.
To avoid thermal shock and do not store
the meter below freezing.
1.CAUTION
! Use extreme caution when the laser
beam is turned On.
! Do not point the laser toward the eyes
or face of a person or animal.
! Laser's potential to cause damage is
retained for hundreds of feet .
! Be careful not to let the beam on a
reflective surface strike your eyes.
Do not allow the laser light beam
impinge on any gas which can explode.

MEASUREMENT OPERATION
A. Power ON/OFF
The meter automatically powers on
when the trigger is pulled. Pull the
trigger to take a reading. Read the
measured temperature on the LCD.
The meter powers OFF automatically
approximately 6 seconds after the
trigger is released.
B. Selecting Temperature units (C/F)
Select temperature units (degrees C
or F) by pulling and holding the trigger
, then press the C/F key until the
desired units is shown on the LCD.
C. Data Hold
This meter automatically holds the last
temperature reading on the LCD for 6
seconds after the trigger is released.
No extra key presses are necessary to
freeze the displayed reading.
D. Backlight LCD
Select backlight by first pulling the
trigger and then pressing the
BACKLIGHT ( ) key. Repeat the
procedure to turn the backlight
OFF
E. Laser Pointer
To turn the laser pointer ON, press the
LASER key while pulling the trigger.
Repeat the procedure to turn the laser
OFF.
F. Selecting Emissivity (Model 8889
only )
By pulling the trigger, pressing MODE
key, the default emissivity is shown on
the LCD. There are 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 for
different applications.
G. Measurement Considerations
Holding the meter by its handle, point
the IR Sensor toward the object whose
temperature is to be measured.
The meter automatically compensates for
temperature deviations from ambient
temperature.
Keep in mind that meter will take up to 30
minutes to adjust to wide ambient temp.
changes. When low temperatures are to
be measured followed a high temperature
measurements, several minutes recovering
time is required after the high (and before
the low) temperature measurements are
made.
This is a result of the cooling process
which must take place for the IR sensor
6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
A flashing display is the indication that the
battery voltage has fallen into the critical
region (6.5 to 7.5 V).
Reliable readings can be obtained for
several hours after the first appearance
of the low battery indication.
Open the Battery Compartment and
remove the battery, then install a new
battery and put back the cover.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
Meter does not turn on.
Check voltage and replace low battery.
Or check time delay which is allowed 1
second for data to appear on-screen.
Data flashing or laser comes on but
no data appears .
Check battery voltage and then replace
a new battery.
"OL" appear on-screen.
The measured temperature is over the
limit.
Measuring the surrounding area to
double check if the target indeed exceeds
the limit.
8. MAINTENANCE
Case cleaning :
Use caution with a damp cloth to clean
the exterior housing, ensure no water or
soap is allowed inside the meter and on
the infrared lens.
Lens cleaning :
WARNING : Recommend to clean the
lens after a time of period using the
meter and make sure the lens is clean
enough to ensure the reading accuracy.
By using low pressure compressed air
to remove any particles on the lens. If
the contamination can not be removed
with air, use a soft cotton swab. Any
swab should be slightly damp, and very
light pressure should be applied to the
lens.
Do not use solvents to clean the lens.
