    ∙ AVG Mode: The “AVG” character lights up and an average value is displayed on the smaller measurement displaying area. An average value is a mean temperature value since the AVG Mode is turned on. Note: The data that can be used to calculate the average is the maximum 256. When the number of data exceeds 256, the average value is calculated again from them.
  • Page 11 Data Storing (Memory) Function A measured value displayed in the smaller measurement displaying area can be stored and loaded later on. The instrument can store up to 10 data. All stored data do not get deleted even the battery is taken out from the unit. Storable Data Measurement Mode Setting Mode...
  • Page 12 Cautions on Measurement Measurement Spot Size The measurement spot size of SK-8300 changes in accordance with the measurement distance as below: S(diameter) @ D (distance) The diameter of the measurement spot shown above is defined on the basis of the area that receives 90% or more of energy.
  • Page 13 Cautions on Measurement ∙ Measuring through a glass The infrared radiation emitted from the SK-8300 does not go through glass, thus taking measurement through a glass cannot be performed. (The instrument measures the temperature of the glass surface.) ∙ Measuring High Temperature It is dangerous to take a measurement of an object with high temperature because of possibility of getting a burn from being in contact with the object or being close enough to be in effect of radiant heat.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Maintenance The measuring accuracy could be compromised if the lens is not clean. Use a camera blower to clean the lens. If it is still dirty, use a cotton swap soaked in a lens cleaning solution to wipe the stain away. Caution: Never use water or any other cleaning solvent to clean the lens.
