User's Manual Infrared Thermometer Please read this user's manual thoroughly before using this unit and keep it properly for your future reference.
1. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of our professional non-contact infrared thermometers with Type-K input measurement. These units can provide fast, easy and accurate temperature readings. With the non-contact (IR) and contact (TK) technology, they can be used to measure the surface temperature of hard-to-reach objects like electrified equipment or moving objects, without any damage to them.
2. Features ◆ Fast and easy measurement ◆ Precise IR and TK temperature measurement ◆ Built-in laser pointers increase the target accuracy ◆ Adjustable emissivity: 0.1~1.0 ◆ ºC/ºF selection ◆ MAX, MIN, DIF, AVG record ◆ REC datalogger function for 12 points ◆...
3. Application This units can be widely used in Food preparation, Safety and Fire inspection, Plastic molding, Asphalt, Marine, Printing ink, dryer temperature and Fleet maintenance. 4. Safety ◆ Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on. ◆ Do not point the beam toward human or animal eyes. ◆...
5. Field of View The meter's field of view is 13:1, for example, if the meter is 13 inches from the target spot, the diameter of the target must be at least 1 inch. Other distance ratios are show as Fig. 1 in the field of view diagram.
6.

10. Notes 10.1 Work Principle The infrared thermometer is designed for measuring surface temperature of an object. The optical sensor can emit, reflect and transmit energy, which is collected and focused on a detector, then translate it into the temperature reading by electronics and displayed on the LCD screen.

As distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. 10.4 Locating a hot spot To find a hot spot, first aim the thermometer to the outside of target area, then scan across in an up and down motion until the hot spot is located.
Do not immerse it in water. Do not store it in high temperature or humidity. 10.7 Emissivity Most (90%) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). 11. Accessories ①User's Manual ②9V Battery ③Type-K probe...
