Temperature – While the micro IR-200 compensates for
variation from ambient temperature, large changes in
ambient and measured temperatures can reduce accuracy.
When significant changes in ambient temperature (more than
30°F or 17°C) are encountered, allow fifteen minutes for the
micro IR-200 to adjust for best accuracy.
Obstructions – Steam, dust, smoke and other obstructions
like glass or plastic between the micro IR-200 and the surface
being measured can decrease accuracy. These obstruct the
unit optics or give false readings (measure the temperature
of the glass instead of the surface). Do not use when
obstructions are present.
3. Make sure that all equipment has been properly inspected.

Operation

Turning ON and OFF (Taking Measurements)
1. Hold the micro IR-200 by the handle grip and point it at
thesurface to be measured. Keep away from any electrical,
moving or hot parts. Make sure that the unit is pointed in a
safe direction away from any bystanders before turning ON.
2. Squeeze the trigger to turn the micro IR-200 ON. When the
trigger is squeezed, the SCAN icon will be ON, and the micro
IR200 will continuously update the displayed current
temperature value and display the maximum temperature
value since the unit was turned ON.
The micro IR-200 can be moved slowly over the surface to
locate hot or cool areas. See the High Alarm and Low Alarm
sections for information on high and low alarm settings.
3. When the trigger is released, the HOLD icon will be ON.
Themicro IR-200 will automatically turn OFF after seven
seconds unless the unit is in Continuous Measurement mode.
