  • Page 5: 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.
  • Page 6 Getting Started *WWarning To prevent eye damage and personal injury: Read all safety Information before you use the Product. Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye. Do not look into the laser.
  • Page 7 Infrared Thermometers Safety Information Do not connect the optional external probe to live electrical circuits. See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard. Do not leave the Product on or near objects of high temperature.
