Page 9: Introduction
Infrared Thermometers Introduction The 561, 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (“the thermometers” or “the Product”) are for non-contact temperature measurement. These thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface. The thermometers also support contact- temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. -

Users Manual 561 Display The primary temperature display reports the current or last IR temperature read until the 7-second hold time elapses. The secondary temperature display reports current thermocouple temperature when a type-K thermocouple is attached. When a thermocouple is not connected, the small temperature display reports a choice of maximum, minimum, or difference between maximum and minimum temperature. -

Page 24: How The Thermometers Work
Users Manual How the Thermometers Work Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading which the unit displays (see Figure 5). Reflected energy Emitted Energy... -
Page 25: Locating A Hot Or Cold Spot
Infrared Thermometers Operating the Thermometer Locating a Hot or Cold Spot To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area. Then, slowly scan across the area with an up and down motion until you locate the hot or cold spot (see Figure 6). -
Page 26: Distance And Spot Size
Users Manual Distance and Spot Size As the distance (D) from the object being measured increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between distance and spot size (D:S) for each unit is shown in Figure 7. The spot sizes indicate 90 % encircled energy. -
Page 27: Field Of View
Infrared Thermometers Operating the Thermometer Field of View For accurate measurements, make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it (see Figure 8). eyl05.eps Figure 8. Field of View Emissivity Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. -
Page 28: Storing Data
Users Manual Storing Data The 566 thermometer can store up to 20 data records. The 568 thermometer can store up to 99 data records. The following information is stored in each record: • Record number • IR and probe temperature in °F or °C •... -
