4C. Selecting A Scan Mode; Taking A Measurement - ADC Adtemp 433 Instructions For Use Manual

4c. Selecting a Scan Mode

With the power on, press the Mode button to switch
between body mode and surface mode. Body mode
is used for measuring human body temperature.
Surface mode is used to measure an object's
surface temperature.
(The factory default is "body" mode.)

5. TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Turn on the thermometer by pressing the On/Measure button. The thermometer
will perform a self-test with all segments displayed for two seconds, followed by
three consecutive beeps. When ready to measure the display will look like this:
2. If needed, press the Mode button to change between body mode and surface mode.
3. Position the thermometer about 2" to 6" (5 cm to 15 cm) from the center of the
patient's forehead with the sensor aimed between the eyebrows.
4. Press and release the On/Measure button to start measurement. The unit will
beep once when the measurement is complete. The backlight color will display
green, yellow, or red depending upon the reading obtained.
Green: ≤ 99.2°F (37.3°C)
Yellow: 99.3°F to 100.5°F (37.4°C – 38.0°C)
Red: ≥ 100.6°F (38.1°C)
Note: For best results, please allow about five seconds between measurements. If
using for high-volume, rapid mass screenings, please allow a 30-second rest every five
to ten measurements. These precautions will prevent the infrared sensor from absorb-
ing heat from the measurement site, which can affect accuracy.
Note: If the patient's skin is covered with hair, perspiration, or dirt, clean the area and
wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Ensure that the thermometer is held firmly during measurement and that the pa-
tient does not move until the measurement is complete. Patient movement can impact
the measurement.
