Security and safety directions for the analyser 1.1. Safety manual All general information and safety precautions of MRU products are listed in the supplied separate safety manual. Therefore, this manual must be read and observed before the first use of the ana- lyser.
Due to interchangeable sensors, the Hand Detector Probe 400DH can be used for a wide range of applications: • Usable with interchangeable sensor RM400 for leak detection on exhaust pipes. Usable with interchangeable sensor HC400, HC401 and HC402 for leak •...

Visual and audible alarm signals indicate a measurement above the set alarm threshold. The flashing frequency of the red LED in the sensor foot increases with a measurement above the set alarm threshold. 21 / 41 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
Setting Alarm threshold, Unit and Emissivity You can set a defined alarm threshold. As soon as the defined alarm threshold is exceeded, an alarm is issued. You can change the unit. You can set the emissivity. 22 / 41 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
Page 23
However, metals, especially those with polished or shiny surfaces, can have an emissivity of 0.1 and are poorly suited for IR measurement. Set the corresponding emissivity before the measurement. Otherwise, there may be large deviations in the measurement. 23 / 41 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...

The emissivity given here serve as a rough orientation and may vary greatly depending on the variation of the material (e.g., not oxidized to oxidized). Research the emission levels relevant to you, e. g. on the Internet or in the relevant specialist literature. 24 / 41 MRU GmbH, D-74172 Neckarsulm...
