Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Video IR Thermometer. This meter is capable of making non-contact (infrared) and contact (thermocouple) temperature measurements. The built-in camera offers still image and video capturing functionality for documenting measurement locations. The meter includes a micro SD card slot for offloading still images and video. The built-in laser pointer increases target accuracy while the backlit LCD and handy push-buttons combine for convenient, ergonomic operation.
Operation Power ON / OFF / RESET 1. The instrument is powered by one (1) rechargeable battery (3.7V). The battery is housed in the compartment in the meter’s handle. 2. The supplied battery charger connects to the USB port on the instrument (in the compartment above the measurement trigger).

Video + IR mode In the Video + IR Mode the meter can measure IR temperature, air temperature, humidity, dew-point temperature, and wet bulb temperature, along with full use of the video camera capabilities. The IR Maximum (MAX) Temperature, IR Minimum (MIN) Temperature, IR Differential (DIF) Temperature, and the IR Average (AVG) Temperature can also be displayed.
IR-only mode In the IR-only Mode the meter can measure IR temperature, air temperature, air humidity, dew-point temperature, and wet bulb temperature but without the video camera capabilities. The IR Maximum (MAX) Temperature, IR Minimum (MIN) Temperature, IR Differential (DIF) Temperature, and the IR Average (AVG) Temperature can also be displayed.
Datalogging Mode The datalogger automatically records readings to memory at a programmed interval. In the Datalogging mode, the high/low alarm values, low alarm value, datalogging interval sampling rate (time), can be configured. Once configured, press the trigger to start logging. The unit will automatically record data at the specified sampling time.

Transfer files to a PC Connect the USB cable from the thermometer to a USB port on the pc or insert the microSD card into the SD port on the pc.. If the USB cable is used, the USB symbol will appear in the display and the PC will recognize the unit as a removable drive.
IR Measurement Notes 1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field of view diagram (printed on the side of the meter and in this guide). 2. Before measuring, be sure to clean surfaces that are covered with frost, oil, grime, etc. 3.
Emissivity and IR Measurement Theory IR Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy. The thermometer’s electronics translate the information into a temperature reading which is then displayed on the LCD. The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature and its ability to emit energy.
