Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett IRT500 IR Thermometer with High Temp/Circular Laser and Alarms. This thermometer makes non‐ contact (infrared) temperature measurements at the touch of a button. The built‐in circular pointer increases target accuracy while the backlit LCD and handy multi‐switch combine for convenient, ergonomic operation.

Operation NOTES: 1. In HOLD MODE, Use the MODE Button to change MAX/MIN/DIF/AVG. 2.In Measurement Mode, if the TYPE-K thermocouple is connected, the Type-K data will displays in the lower left quarter automatically,during this this time, it cannot display EMS. 3.To set values for the High Alarm (HAL), Low Alarm (LAL) and Emissivity (EMS), press and hold the MODE Button until the appropriate code appears in the display, press the Up and Down Buttons to adjust the desired values.
Changing Units (°C/°F) • Pressing Up/Down Button to change the temperature unit (°C or °F). Alarms ON/OFF (High and Low) • Press the Laser/Backlight Button to turn ON/OFF • Press the measurement trigger to confirm the High (Low) alarm mode Hal (Low) adjustment.
Measurement Operation • Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it toward the surface to be measured. • Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing, the display will light if the battery is good, replace the battery if the display does not light.
**Notes How it Works • Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. • The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. • The unit’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading, which is display on the unit.
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s optics. Emissivity • Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. • Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (Pre-set in the unit). •...
