OPERATION
1. Power on the meter by pressing the "Power Button" (3-14, Fig. 1) once then release. The
display will show the internal testing no. (8L-03 ) then 99999, 88888, 77777....00000.
LCD will display the approximate room temperature value & the emissivity value on the right
bottom corner LCD.
Push the "Power Button" again to power off the meter.
Within approx. 10 minutes, the meter will a auto power off.
During measurement, push the "Rec. Button" (3-5, Fig. 1), the LCD will show the "REC" marker.
The meter will make the measurement continuously and not auto power off.
The right lower LCD shows the Emissivity value, for example: 0.95
2. Select the "°C" "°F" display unit by pressing the °C/°F Button (3-2, Fig. 1).
3. Point the "IR Sensing Head" (3-9, Fig. 1) to the measuring object. The meter will display the
spot's temperature values.
Note:
a. The displayed value may fluctuate lithe meter Is shaken or suddenly moved etc.
during measurement.
b. The meter automatically compensates for influences by the ambient temperature of
the sensor The thermometer can measure accurately and quickly when measuring at
the normal environment temperature of 23 ±5°C. For a more accurate measurement
at other ambient temperatures, allow the unit to stabilize for approx. 30 mins in the
new ambient.
c. When low temperature objects are measured directly after high temperature objects,
some time is required for the display to stabilize.
Target Light Guide
During the IR measurement, push the "Laser Switch" (3-12, Fig. 1) continuously will turn on the
"Laser Target Light Guide" (3-10, Fig. 1). The Laser target light guide is a useful tool to
approximately locate the measured target of the IR thermometer. Release the Laser Switch (3-12,
Fig. 1) will power off the "Laser Target Light".
LASER SAFETY!!
●
Laser should not be aimed at personnel at head height.
●
Do not stare into the laser light.
Field of View (Distance/Spot (D/S) value)
The object should be larger than the spot size calculated by the measurement Distance/Spot ratio
(Field of View, refer to INFRARED THERMOMETER SPECS). For accurate measurements, it is
recommended that the area to be measured is 1.5 times larger than the spot size calculated.
Careful collimating is required when the object is not large enough. If the temperature of the object
or a part of it is higher (or lower) than the ambient temperature. After aiming the probe, move the
probe slightly away. Ideal collimating is obtained when the display shows a maximum (or minimum)
reading. However the emissivity of the object and its ambient temperature must be roughly the
same.
Disturbance
●
Objects having low emissivity or objects having a low temperature yet high emissivity emit
little infrared energy.
●
For this reason, measurement of these objects are adversely effected by powerful infrared
energy radiated from nearby objects having high emissivity or high temperature.
●
For example, when such objects are measured in sunlight, erratic measurements can result
due to powerful radiated energy from the sun reflecting on the surface of the object and
entering the sensor.
