――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Chapter 1 Summary 1.1 Product Summary 1. Theory of Measurement Every object emits infrared energy in accordance with its temperature. By measuring the amount of this radiant energy, it is possible to determine the temperature of the emitting object. 2.
Page 14
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― The output signal from the infrared radiation sensor is input to an electronic circuit along with the output signal from a standard temperature sensor. The electronic circuit calculates the object temperature while applying standard temperature compensation, thermal emissivity compensation, etc., and displays the result.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ・ε indicator : Appears when the thermal emissivity is being set. ・SET indicator : Blinks when date, time, and emissivity are being set. ・TIME indicator : Displayed when time is set and the time of data memory is displayed. Blinks: during time operation.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Chapter 2 Prior to Use Prior to operating the thermometer, carry out the following: 1. Attaching the accessory screwdriver Attach the accessory screwdriver to the hand strap so that it will not get lost. This screwdriver is used to remove the battery cover screws.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 2.1 Battery Loading and Replacement ・ The thermometer does not come with the battery loaded. Load the battery according to the procedure described below. ・ If the battery indicator starts to blink, promptly replace the battery. ・ If the main body is wet, be sure to wipe off the water, set the battery box facing downward so that any water in the joint will not enter the case, and then remove the battery cover.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― DANGER When changing the battery, be careful not to press the key by mistake. MEAS It is very dangerous to allow the laser beam to shine into your eyes or those of another person. Also, after changing the battery, be sure to close the cover before using the unit.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ・ All settings are lost when the battery is replaced. NOTE After replacing the battery, please re-set the emissivity, date and time. For details, see 2.2, Setting the Date and Time* and 3.3, Setting Emissivity (ε) . ・ When not in use for a long time, to prevent possible corrosion caused by battery leakage, remove the battery before storage.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 2. Change the date. Blinking figures can be changed with the ▼ ▲ keys. 3. Completing the date setting. Pressing the key moves to the time setting mode. Pressing the MEAS completes the date setting. ・ Setting is also possible for a date that does not NOTE actually exist (for example, November 31, February 31, etc.), so confirm the date after setting it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― DANGER With the 3443-01, whenever the indication flashing, the laser marker beam (class 2) is being emitted. Exercise extreme care not to allow the laser marker beam to enter your eyes (because of this laser light causing damage to the eyes) or those of another person.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 3.2 Target Size and Sighting ・ Although the field of measurement and the sighting NOTE almost coincide, actually the field of measurement corresponds to the diameter for 90% optical response. The object whose temperature is to be measured needs to be larger than the measurement diameter by an adequate margin‐at least 1.5 to 2 times larger.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 3.3 Setting Emissivity (ε) Each substance has particular emissivity. Precise measurement requires appropriate setting. 1. Displaying emissivity (ε) With the power off, display the emissivity setting by pressing the while pressing and MEAS key. SET holding the begins flashing. 2.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ・ Variations in the surface condition and color of the NOTE object whose temperature is to be measured may cause the thermal emissivity ε to be somewhat different from the values in the above table. If an accurate temperature measurement is desired for an object whose thermal emissivity is not known, black body tape or black body spray (sold separately) should be used.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 5.2 Questions and Answers about Measurement Q: Why can't I measure the temperature on the other side of a glass pane? A: Normal glass absorbs infrared radiation of the wavelength (8 to 16 μm) which this device uses for temperature measurement.
Page 45
――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Q: Why can't I measure the temperature of a gas, vapor, or flame? A: Since gases, vapors, and flames are transparent to infrared radiation, their temperatures cannot be measured in this way. Q: Why can't I measure temperature through rain or fog? A: Since rain and fog reflect and absorb infrared radiation, accurate measurement through them is...
