Page 9: Introduction
Introduction The 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (“the thermometers”) are for non- contact temperature measurement. These thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface. The thermometers also support contact-temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. Note that the Japanese models indicate Celsius only. -

566/568 Users Manual Safety Information A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. To avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines: *Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces. Replace the batteries as soon as the low-battery indicator appears. -

Page 19: How The Thermometers Work
How the Thermometers Work Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading which the unit displays (see Figure 3). -
Page 20: Locating A Hot Or Cold Spot
566/568 Users Manual Locating a Hot or Cold Spot To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area. Then, slowly scan across the area with an up and down motion until you locate the hot or cold spot (see Figure 4). -
Page 21: Distance And Spot Size
Infrared Thermometers Operating the Thermometer Distance and Spot Size As the distance (D) from the object being measured increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between distance and spot size (D:S) for each unit is shown in Figure 5. -
Page 22: Field Of View
566/568 Users Manual Field of View For accurate measurements, make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it (see Figure 6). Emissivity Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of approximately 0.95, the... -

Storing Data The 566 thermometer can store up to 20 data records. The 568 thermometer can store up to 99 data records. The following information is stored in each record: Record number IR and probe temperature in F or C... -
Page 24: External Contact Probe
566/568 Users Manual External Contact Probe To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, do not connect the external contact probe to live electrical circuits. The thermometers come with a bead K-type thermocouple probe. The probes attach to the thermometers via the probe input located on the top of the thermometer (see Figure 7). -
Page 25: Maintenance
Maintenance Battery Charge Use the battery charge symbols to gauge the approximate level of charge left on the batteries. When in low battery mode, the thermometer does not store values. “Err” appears on the display if attempted. Batteries are at 5 %. Before taking further readings, the batteries must be changed. -
