1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the new IRT207
Heat Seeker TM InfraRed Thermometer (IRT). This IRT is
an 8:1 non-contact temperature measuring instrument
using infrared technology and laser sighting. Features
include a 4 digit backlit LCD, scan/hold function and
auto power off (7 secs). To measure a temperature,
point the unit at the object, pull the measuring trigger
and hold. Make sure the target area is larger than the
unit's spot size.

2. Safety Information

Read the following safety information carefully before
attempting to operate or service the IRT. Only qualified
personnel should perform repairs or servicing not
covered in these instructions.
2-1 Cautions!
• DO NOT submerge the unit in water.
• This product is not designed for use in medical
evaluations. The product can only be used to
measure body temperature simply for reference.
The IRT is meant for industrial and commercial uses.
LASER WARNING NOTE!
Do not point laser directly at eye.
Use caution around reflective surfaces.
Keep out of reach of children.
2-2 Safety symbols
Dangerous, refer to this manual before using
the meter.
CE Certification.
This instrument conforms to the following standards:
EN61326: Electrical equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory use.
IEC61000-4-2: Electrostatic discharge immunity test.
IEC61000-4-3: Radiated, radio-frequency,
electromagnetic field immunity test.
IEC61000-4-8: Power frequency magnetic field immunity
test.
Tests were conducted using a frequency range of
80-1000MHz with the instrument in three orientations.
The average error for the three orientations is ±1.0ºF
(±0.5ºC) at 3V/m throughout the spectrum. However,
between 781-1000MHz at 3V/m, the instrument may
not meet its stated accuracy.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning the lens: Blow off loose particles using clean
compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away
with a camel's hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface
with a moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened
with water.

4. Operation of Instrument

4-1 Quick Start
To measure a temperature, point the unit at the target you
want to measure, pull the trigger and hold. Be sure to
consider the target area inside the angle of vision of this
instrument ie a 1" measuring spot at a distance of 8".
The single spot of laser is used for aiming purposes only.
The unit is powered by "9V" battery and displays
temperatures in either ºF or ºC.
Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops
below the voltage for reliable operation and the low
battery symbol appears.
