4. USE

4.1 Recommendations for ir mesurements
● If the measured surface target diameter is less than
20/50 mm, then place the sensor as close as possible to the
target surface (<20/50 cm away). See Field of View (FOV)
information under specifi cations.
● If the target surface is covered with frost or any matter, clean
it before taking a measurement.
● If the target surface is highly refl ective put some matte tape, or
matte paint, over it before measuring.
● If the Thermometer is erratic, or seems not to be measuring
properly, make sure that the sensor is clean and not covered by
condensation.

4.2 Operating method

4.2.1 Infrared operation
1. Press and hold the yellow measurement button - MEAS. The
thermometer will display SET briefl y on the main display while it
autochecks.
2. Aim the Thermometer towards the target.
3. If using the aiming laser, remove the laser cover, and press the
Button to turn the laser ON and OFF. The laser will go on
when MEAS is pressed.
4. Infrared thermometer sensors need a certain time to stabilize
to ambient temperature. Remember to let the IR meter reach
ambient if brought in from different temperature environment.
5. Press the button to turn ON the backlit.
6. If the measured temperature is outside the measurement
range, OL will be displayed.
7. The thermometer will continue measuring as long as the MEAS
button is pressed. When the button is released the measurement
will be held in the display for 15-20 seconds. HOLD is displayed in
the lower lefthand corner of the display.
8. The IR thermometer will shut OFF automatically after 15-20
seconds.
4.2.2 K Thermocouple operation
1. Connect the K thermocouple to the instrument input.
2. Press MEAS to turn the thermometer ON
3. Press the MODE button (six times) to enter the thermocouple
mode. K will be displayed in lower right hand corner of the
display.
4. Put the thermocouple near or on the sample tested.
5. Press MEAS button to measure. Thermocouples need a certain
time to respond. Take the reading when the measurement has
stabilized. The reading is displayed in the smaller lower display
in front of the K symbol. The main larger display is the IR
temperature reading.
