Main features of the DIT-500 device are the following: • rapid detection of temperature changes, • precise non-contact measurements, • dual laser lighting, • modern housing design, • automatic Data Hold, • ºC / ºF switch, • emissivity digitally adjustable from 0.10 to 1.00, •...
1 Introduction Thank you for purchase of the IR Thermometer DIT-500. This is capable of non-contact (infrared) temperature measurements at the touch of a button. The built-in laser pointer increases target accura- cy while the backlight LCD and handy push-buttons combine for convenient, ergonomic operation.
2 Safety In order to guarantee proper operation and correctness of the obtained results it is necessary to observe the following recom- mendations: • Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on. • Do not let the beam enter your eye, another person’s eye or the eye of an animal.

11.1 Buttons ① Laser/Backlight on/off button ② Down button (for ε, HAL, LAL) ③ Up button (for ε, HAL, LAL) ④ Cyclic MODE button Distance and spot size As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger.
4 How it works • Infrared Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and trans- mitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a tempera- ture reading, which is display on the unit.

Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface. The DIT-500 can compensate additional error of emissivity other than 0.95. In this purpose, enter correct value of meas- ured substance emissivity.
Note: Measurement considerations Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR Sensor toward the object whose temperature is to be measured. The meter automati- cally compensates for temperature deviations from ambient tem- perature. Keep in mind that it will take up to 30 minutes to adjust to wide ambient temperatures are to be measured followed by high temperature measurements.

Data logger 6.3.1 Saving data to memory Your thermometer is capable of storing up to 100 measure- ments. To store data from an infrared reading, pull the trigger. While holding the trigger, press the MODE button until LOG appears in the lower left corner of the display (a log location number will be shown in upper display).
location will automatically change to “001”, signifying that all data locations have been cleared. 6.3.4 USB function This device affords transmitting the IR and Type K measurement data to the PC via USB. For turn on or off USB function: press LIGHT/LASER button until “USB”...
Attention: When making measurements with a battery's mnemonic on, one must take into account additional indefinite measure- ment uncertainty or unstable working of the meter. Open battery cover, then take out the battery from instrument and replace with a new 9-Volt battery and place the battery cover back.
