1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
F
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the product, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the use of the thermometer.
!
Keep the thermometer clean for best and safest performance.
!
DO NOT use equipment for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
%
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the thermometer.
%
When not in use, store in a safe, dry, childproof area.

1.2 LASER SAFETY
The VS902 utilises a Class II laser that emits low levels of visible radiation (i.e. wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometres) which are
safe for the skin but not inherently safe for the eyes. The Class II emission limit is set at the maximum level for which eye protection is
normally afforded by natural aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye exposure is therefore normally safe, although the natural
aversion response can be overridden by deliberately staring into the beam, and can also be influenced by the use of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING! Do not look or stare into the laser beam as permanent eye damage could result.
F
DO NOT direct the laser beam at any person’s (or animal’s) eyes as eye damage could result.
%
DO NOT operate the thermometer when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
&
Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or other shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye exposure.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Revolutionary new way to tackle diagnosis of engine and vehicle faults. VS902 detects energy emission in the infrared spectrum and converts
reading into a display of temperature. Features laser pointer to indicate area being sampled. Temperature is displayed on an LCD panel.
Temperature can be shown in either °C or °F. Powered by 2 x CR2032 Lithium batteries (not included).

3. OPERATION
3.1 To measure the surface temperature of an object/region, simply point the device at the object/region in question and press the Scan
button. Partially depressing the Scan button will cause the thermometer to begin measuring the temperature; fully depressing the
Scan button will cause the laser to operate also.
3.2 ºC/ºF MODE
3.2.1 To change the display from ºC to ºF (or visa versa), firstly turn the unit on by pressing the Scan button. Now press the Mode button
four times and the ºC or ºF symbol will begin flashing in the display. Now press the Scan button to select the desired scale. Press
the Scan button once more to confirm the selection.
3.3 MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM MODE
3.3.1 Using the Minimum mode, it is possible to determine the coolest temperature registered by the thermometer whilst the Scan button
is depressed.
3.3.2 First, press the Scan button to activate the unit. Now press the Mode button once to select the Minimum mode (“MIN” will flash on the
display). Press the Scan button once to confirm this selection. The thermometer will now display the coolest temperature registered
during a continuous press of the scan button. To deselect Minimum mode, press the Mode button once.
3.3.3 Using the Maximum mode, it is possible to determine the highest temperature registered by the thermometer whilst the Scan button
is depressed. Turn the unit on by pressing the Scan button. Press the Mode button twice to select Maximum mode (“MAX” will flash in
the display). Press the Scan button once to confirm this selection. The thermometer will now display the highest temperature registered
during a continuous press of the scan button. To deselect Maximum mode, press the Mode button once.
3.4 LOCK MODE
3.4.1 The lock mode is for use when continuous monitoring of temperatures is required.
3.4.2 Turn the unit on by pressing the Scan button. Press the mode button three times until “LOCK” flashes in the display. Now press the
scan button to confirm this selection. The unit will now continuously display the temperature for up to 60mins or until the scan button
is pressed again.
