Caution
LTM-100 is one of the portable
laser applied instruments which
are regulated by the consumer
product safety law.
? Do not look into the laser beam.
? Do not aim the laser beam at
human beings.
? Keep the instrument out of
children's reach.
Please follow the precautions below for use to keep
the instrument's functions proper and to enable
accurate measurement.
Safety Precautions
?
Do not contact this product with a measuring object.
This is a contactless thermometer. Contact with a hot section
may cause unrepairable damages or inaccurate readings.
?
Do not damage the measuring window (plastic lens).
Do not contact a hard object with the measuring window.
Do not let a foreign object penetrate the measuring window,
or drop a hard object on the measuring window.
?
Although this instrument applies a shockproof structure, do
not give an excessive shock to the instrument.
?
Do not bring the instrument closer to an electrostatic object.
?
Emissivity of this instrument can be selected (0.8 to 1.0).
When the emissivity setting is different from that of a
measuring object, an inaccurate reading will occur.
?
The sudden changes of the ambient temperature will cause
inaccurate readings. Wait a while to let the temperature of the
instrument stabilize, and then measure.
?
Remove batteries from the instrument, if the instrument is not
in use for a long period or is put in storage.
Environmental Precautions
?
Do not use or store the
instrument in a location
where the instrument is
exposed to the direct
sunlight, dust, lampblack
and corrosive gas, or where
the temperature and/or
humidity is high. Otherwise
the measuring window gets
soiled or deteriorated, which
causes inaccurate readings.
?
As this instrument applies a waterproof structure (IP67), a
slight wetting will not damage the instrument. When the
plastic lens is wet, however, wipe the lens carefully so as not
to scratch it as the wetting condition will cause inaccurate
readings.
?
Keep the instrument away from an object which radiates a
strong electromagnetic wave.
? Relation of Distance
and Measuring Diameter
The relation between the distance and measuring diameter is as
follows.
The more the distance increases, the larger area is needed.
For accurate reading, a sufficient measuring area should be
ensured.
The above measuring diameter is defined as an area which allows
capture of more than 90% of energy.

? Troubleshooting

Symptoms Cause
No display appears Batteries have been exhausted or they are not placed
correctly.
Laser beam is not emitted or is Battery voltage is low.
weak.
Abnormal reading Plastic lens is dirty.
A heat source nearby affects.
Emissivity is not selected properly.
Measuring target area is too small.
Unstable reading Unit is affected by a rapid temperature change.
No reading appears but display is Out of measuring temperature range.

? Maintenance
Measuring Window
The measuring window applies a waterproof structure (IP67). If
water-soluble stains adhere to the window, wash the measuring
window with the tap water. Dry the measuring window well after
washing. Please note that measurement with the measuring window
wet will cause inaccurate readings. If oil-soluble stains adhere to the
measuring window, wipe it with a cloth dipped in the diluted neutral
detergent and rinse it.
Note
Do not use chemical agents such as thinner, benzin or alcohol since
these may cause a crack or fog on the surface of the measuring
window, and consequently it may change the infrared radiation
transmittance of the plastic lens.
Plastic Lens
Dust, stains and scratches on the measuring window cause
inaccurate readings. Wipe such stains off with a soft cloth or cotton
bud for camera or glasses. To get rid of tough stains, remove the top
hood(rubber)by drawing it, wipe the lens with a cloth dipped in the
diluted neutral detergent and rinse it. After getting rid of the stains,
put the top hood back to the previous place by putting the projection
along its edge and the ones on the case together. After putting it,
make sure of fitting it to the correct position.
Hood
Countermeasures
Replace or place them correctly.
Measurement is possible. Replace batteries when the laser marker is
necessary.
Clean the plastic lens referring to the "Maintenance" section.
Shield the heat source by a shielding plate.
If emissivity is unknown, refer to "Reference" section. Also, measure the
temperature by a contact type thermometer and select adequate emissivity
so that temperature of this instrument becomes equivalent to that of the
contact type thermometer.
Check the target area and keep a sufficient area for measurement.
Leave the unit for stabilizing its temperature and measure.
Check the target to be measured.
