Operation manual Infrared-thermometer IR 8895 General description The infrared thermometer 8895 is a measuring instrument for contact less temperature measurement. This thermal measurement principle is ideally suitable for moving parts, electrically live parts, poisonous and sterile objects, where a conventional contact temperature measurement method is not possible.
Operation manual Infrared-thermometer IR 8895 Intended applications The intended applications cover contact less measurement of temperature from -40 °C to +816 °C. For power supply, only two 1.5 V bat- teries of type Mignon AA, IEC LR6 or equivalent are to be used. The operation is allowed only under dry environment conditions, contact with moisture should be essentially avoided.

Operation manual Infrared-thermometer IR 8895 LASER Temperature measurement For measuring temperatures, hold the infrared thermometers with the opening of the infrared sensor pointing towards the object to be measured and then press the trigger. The currently determined value of temperature appears on the LC-Display [3].
Operation manual Infrared-thermometer IR 8895 Background illumination For measurements in low light conditions or night darkness, the background light can be activated with the key [B]. LIGHT Emission setting The emission factor describes the characteristics of energy radiation of a certain material. To be more exact, it is defined as the ratio of energy level from the measured object at a given temperature to the energy that would be emitted by a black body (ideal emitter) at that temperature. Higher is this factor, higher is the ability of the material to emit out radiation. An ideal black body has an emission factor of 1.
Operation manual Infrared-thermometer IR 8895 Replacing batteries The infrared thermometer 8895 requires two Alkaline 1.5 V batteries of type Mignon AA, IEC LR6 or equivalent for its operation. If the voltage of the batteries under use falls below a certain minimum value, the symbol „Low battery“ [7] as an indication of empty battery appears in the LC-Display.
