1. General Welcome to the manual for the hand held infrared pyrometer. You can measure surface temperatures between 150°C (302°F) and 1800°C (3272°F) without contact using this digital, battery powered pyrometer. A laser pilot light marks the center of the measuring spot. Caution! Do not look into the laser beam! It may damage your eyes. -

How to operate the instrument 3.1 Display and Keyboard Pilotlight Symbol °C /°F Hold Display Symbol Low-battery Symbol Large Display Parameter Small Display Pilotlight Optical axis “up” and “down”-keys Parameter Lock-key Trigger Battery cover Tripod thread Pull the trigger to switch on the instrument. This is a two stage trigger. T o lock the trigger for continuous readings, pull the trigger fully back and push up the lock-key. -
Page 7: Setting Up The Instrument
3.2. Setting up the instrument The instrument is powered by a 9 V Alcaline-Manganese battery (IEC 6LR61) or a 9 V rechargeable battery with the same dimensions, fitted into the handle. To replace the battery, first remove the screw in the batterycover and then pull out the battery cap. -

3.3. Measuring By pulling the trigger to the first position the instrument is turned on and starts to measure. The trigger can be locked in this position with the lock-key. Lock Key Trigger After an internal check (about 0.5 s), the measured temperature appears on the display. -
Page 9: Spot Size
3.4. Spot size The size of the spot depends on the distance to the target object. 80 mm Spotdiameter 20 mm 17.5 mm 13 mm Measuring 0 mm 350 mm 650 mm 2000 mm Distance The spot diameter for distances longer than 650 mm can be calculated according to the following formula: M = 0 .05 * a - 20 (all values in mm) -
Page 10: Laser Sighting
3.5. Laser sighting The laser pilot light can be switched on or off by pressing the key marked with the laser symbol. The laser beam marks the center of the target spot. If the laser is turned on the laser symbol in the center of the upper row on the display flashes. -
Page 11: Emissivity
3.6.1. Emissivity The emissivity is the amount of heat radiation from the measured object – compared with an ideal black object. To measure the temperature of any surface accurately, it is necessary to know its emissivity and to set this value correctly. -
Page 12: Maximum And Minimum Function
MINimum-value Min 650 The actual MAXimum value or MINimum value will be held in the display as the trigger is released. The instrument now is in the HOLD-mode. By pulling the trigger again, the MAX and MIN values are deleted. The function (MIN, MAX) itself will not be changed unless the Parameter (PAR) key is pressed again. -
Page 13: High- Alarm
The starting temperature is set new every time the trigger is pulled. The large display now shows the current temperature, and on the small display is shown the difference between the starting temperature value and the current temperature. This function can be changed by pressing the “ PAR” key again. 3.6.5. - Page 14 The general data transfer has the following format: AAA YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss+LF+CR (25 characters) 0000.0C PPP Exxx Ix+LF+CR (22 characters) LF+CR (2 characters, empty line) AAA: address of storage position YYYY-MM-DD: date (year, month, day) hh:mm:ss: time, (hour, minute, second, output in 24h-format) 0000.0: temperature temperature in °C or °F...

4. Error messages In case there should be an internal error, it will be shown on the small display. Err1: The internal power supply is faulty.e.g. the battery is exhausted or defective, or the battery charger is defective. In each case a replacement is required. - Page 16 Apart from the error messages, an “out of range” message can also be displayed.
