Caution
5510 is one of the portable
laser applied instruments which
are regulated by the consumer
product safety law.
● Do not look into the laser beam.
● Do not aim the laser beam at
human beings.
● Keep the instrument out of
children's reach.
Please follow the precautions below for use
to keep the instrument's functions proper and
to enable accurate measurement.
Safety Precautions
● Do not contact this product with a measuring object.
This is a contactless thermometer. Contact with a hot section may
cause unrepairable damages or inaccurate readings.
● Do not damage the measuring window (plastic lens).
Do not contact a hard object with the measuring window.
Do not let a foreign object penetrate the measuring window, or drop
a hard object on the measuring window.
● Although this instrument applies a shockproof structure, do not give
an excessive shock to the instrument.
● Do not bring the instrument closer to an electrostatic object.
● Emissivity of this instrument can be selected (0.8 to 1.0). When the
emissivity setting is different from that of a measuring object, an
inaccurate reading will occur.
● The sudden changes of the ambient temperature will cause
inaccurate readings. Wait a while to let the temperature of the
instrument stabilize, and then measure.
● Remove batteries from the instrument, if the instrument is not in use
for a long period or is put in storage.
Environmental Precautions
● Do not use or store the
instrument in a location
where the instrument is
e x p o s e d t o t h e d i r e c t
sunlight, dust, lampblack
and corrosive gas, or where
t h e t e m p e r a t u r e a n d / o r
humidity is high. Otherwise
the measuring window gets
soiled or deteriorated, which
causes inaccurate readings.
● As this instrument applies a waterproof structure (IP67), a slight
wetting will not damage the instrument. When the plastic lens is wet,
however, wipe the lens carefully so as not to scratch it as the wetting
condition will cause inaccurate readings.
● Keep the instrument away from an object which radiates a strong
electromagnetic wave.
■ Relation of Distance and Measuring Diameter
The relation between the distance and measuring diameter is as
follows.
The more the distance increases, the larger area is needed.
For accurate reading, a sufficient measuring area should be ensured.
The above measuring diameter is defined as an area which allows
capture of more than 90% of energy.

range.
■ Maintenance
Measuring Window
The measuring window applies a waterproof structure (IP67). If water-
soluble stains adhere to the window, wash the measuring window with
the tap water. Dry the measuring window well after washing. Please
note that measurement with the measuring window wet will cause
inaccurate readings. If oil-soluble stains adhere to the measuring
window, wipe it with a cloth dipped in the diluted neutral detergent and
rinse it.
Note
Do not use chemical agents such as thinner, benzin or alcohol since
these may cause a crack or fog on the surface of the measuring
window, and consequently it may change the infrared radiation
transmittance of the plastic lens.
Plastic Lens
Dust, stains and scratches on the measuring window cause inaccurate
readings. Wipe such stains off with a soft cloth or cotton bud for camera
or glasses. To get rid of tough stains, remove the top hood(rubber) by
drawing it, wipe the lens with a cloth dipped in the diluted neutral
detergent and rinse it. After getting rid of the stains, put the top hood
back to the previous place by putting the projection along its edge and
the ones on the case together. After putting it, make sure of fitting it to
the correct position.
