INTRODUCTION A must-have tool for everyday applications, the IR-450 is a 3-in-1 tool that verifies temperature, is used as a laser pointer and illuminates dark work spaces with a bright LED flashlight.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power On / Off Auto Power Off The IR-450 will power down after not being used for 3 minutes. Auto Hold The unit will hold the reading for 10 seconds after the on button is pressed. Operating the Unit To measure temperature, point unit at an object and press the Test button.
Make sure that the target is larger than the unit‘s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. The minimum measurement area is 3.75cm (1.5in) diameter. Press the key, and the unit will show the temperature of the target surface.
Use the unit at around 30cm to get the best measurement accuracy. At longer distances, the target area shall be larger than the distance divided by 8. Please do not put the fingers on the housing for a long period of time and cross the “B line” to prevent thermo effect interference from measuring accuracy.

Allow time for the unit to adapt to the change of ambient temperatures from the user’s pocket to environmental ambient. 2. The unit cannot take measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass. Remove the barrier between the unit and the target surface.
3. Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). See Emissivity. 4. Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit‘s optics Emissivity Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit).
Repeatability ±1°C or ±0.5% of reading, whichever is greater. Display Hold 10 s Electrical Internally powered by 1 x AAA 1.5 Supply Alkaline, LR03 battery Weight Approx. 50g (0.11lb) Dimensions 100 x 20 x 29mm (3.94 x 0.79 x 1.14in) (HxWxD) Storage -20°C to 60°C (without battery)
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Lens Cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away with a brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water or rubbing alcohol. NOTE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the plastic lens.
