temperature measurement key and the "Down" key again until the laser symbol disappears.
When taking measurements in a dark environment you can turn on the background illumination
for the display using the buttons temperature measurement and "Up".
Surface temperature measurement
To measure the temperature of an object, Press the
temperature mode.
Point the instrument at the object and hold down the trigger. The laser pointers will activate
showing the area in which the infrared sensor can see.
The display will show the current surface temperature
measurement spot. After releasing the trigger the display will hold the current measurement.
Highly reflective or transparent surfaces can affect surface temperature
measurements. If necessary, cover area with matte tape and allow tape to
acclimate to the surface temperature before measuring.
Thermal Bridge Mode
Thermal bridge mode compares the surface temperature with the ambient temperature. If the
temperature difference is large enough, the LED above the display will change from green to
either yellow or red to indicate the possible presence of a thermal bridge.
To active thermal bridge mode, press the
