  • Page 3: Safety Information

    This instrument is a portable easy use 3½ digit, compact-sized digital thermometer designed to use infrared or K-type thermocouple as input. Meter with Backlit LCD, Auto-hold function and auto power off (15 seconds approx.) feature after releasing MEAS button to extend battery life and with analog signal output function.
  • Page 4 WARNING To avoid damage or burns, do not make temperature measurement in microwave ovens. symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in this manual.
  • Page 5 • Do not use the unit near any device which generates strong electromag- netic radiation or near a static electrical charge, as these may cause errors. • Do not point the lens at the sun or at any other source of strong light. If you do, the sensor may be damaged.

    GENERAL Display: 3½ digit liquid crystal display (LCD) with maximum reading of 1999. Overrange: (OL) or (-OL) is displayed. Low battery indication: the " below the operating level. Measurement rate: 2.5 times per second, nominal. Operating Environment: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) at < 70% relative humidity.
  • Page 7 Infrared Radiation ELECTRICAL Temperature Range: 0°F to 500°F, -20°C to 260°C. Display Resolution: 1°F / 1°C. Accuracy: ±3% of reading or ±6°F/3°C, whichever is greater @ 64.4 to 82.4°F (@ 18 to 28°C) ambient operating temperature. Temperature Coefficient: ±0.2% of reading or ±0.36°F/0.2°C, whichever is greater, change in accuracy per °F/°C change in ambient operating tempera- ture above 82.4°F/28°C or below 64.4°F/18°C.

  • Page 13: Measurement Considerations

    Infrared radiation is a form of energy (electromagnetic radiation), and has the property that it passes easily through air while it is easily absorbed by solid matter. With an emission thermometer, which operates by detecting infrared radiation accurate measurement is possible, irrespective of the air tempera- ture or the measurement distance.
  • Page 14 4. Emissivity All objects emit invisible infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is proportional to the object's temperature and its ability to emit IR energy. This ability, called emissivity, is based upon the material that the object is made of and its surface finish.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Battery Replacement Power is supplied by four 1.5V (AAA size) batteries. The " " appears on the LCD display when replacement is needed. To replace the batteries, remove the screw from the back of the meter and lift off the battery cover case. Remove the batteries from battery contacts.
