12:1 INFRARED THERMOMETER with “K” TYPE THERMOCOUPLE & ADJUSTABLE EMISSIVITY USER’S MANUAL IRT659K Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly before using this product.
The IRT659K and “K” type thermocouple, a “9V” battery and this user’s manual are sold together with a nylon pouch in a blister pack. KEY FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS •...
CAUTION - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in dangerous radiation exposure. The IRT659K is a Class 3R laser product that emits less than 3mW of radiation at a wavelength of 655nm. Avoid looking directly at the laser pointer. U.S. law prohibits pointing a laser beam at aircraft;...
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Fig. 1 shows all controls, indicators, connectors and other physical features of the IRT659K. Fig. 2 shows all possible indications on the unit’s LCD. Familiarize yourself with the positions of all controls and connectors and the meaning of all display indications and icons before moving on to the Setup Instructions and Operating Instructions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USING THE IRT TO SCAN FOR TEMPERATURE 1. Power on the IRT659K by squeezing and holding the yellow measurement trigger (Fig. 1, Callout C) while pointing the unit anywhere. The LCD’s blue backlight will illuminate and the unit will “chirp”. (If neither happens, the battery is dead and must be replaced;...
CHOOSING AN IRT DISPLAY MODE One of the more useful features of the IRT659K is available in scanning mode. In scanning mode, you typically squeeze and hold the trigger while aiming the gun at many different surfaces in an environment.
30-second Auto Power Off. ADJUSTING EMISSIVITY AND SETTING TEMPERATURE ALARMS The IRT659K has three parameters that you can set anywhere over a predefined range: 1. Emissivity ( )—the ability of an object to reflect or absorb IR radiation (energy)—can be assigned any value between 0.10 and 1.00 in steps of...

2. High Temperature Alarm (HAL). HAL can be set to any integral temperature value from -58° to 1202°F (-50° to 650°C)—the operating range of the IRT659K. The default (factory preset value) is 1210°F (650°C)—the highest temperature that the unit can measure.
Also remember that when , LAL or HAL is flashing, you have only 30 seconds to change its value or setting by pressing the LOG button or the °F/°C button. Thirty seconds after the last button push, the IRT659K’s Auto Power Off function will activate and shut down the unit. RECALLING LOGGED MEASUREMENTS...
3) Attach the end of the probe to the surface whose temperature you wish to measure. The measured value will appear on the main readout. If you allow the IRT659K’s 30-second Auto Power Off function to activate with the unit in thermocouple measurement mode, when you power the unit back on it will enter IRT measurement mode.
