To measure the temperature of an object, press the button
temperature mode.
Note: Highly reflective or transparent surfaces can affect surface temperature
measurements. If necessary, cover area with matte tape and allow tape to ac-
climate to the surface temperature before measuring.
6.6. Thermal bridge mode
Thermal bridge mode compares the surface 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.
1. To activate thermal bridge mode, press the button
2. Point the instrument at the object and hold down the trigger. The laser point-
ers will activate showing the area in which the infrared sensor can see.
3. The display will show the current surface temperature of the object within the
measurement spot along with the ambient temperature. After releasing the
trigger the display will hold the current measurement.
4. The LED above the display will indicate the possible presence of a thermal bridge:
- Green: Low temperature difference. No thermal bridge detected.
- Yellow: Medium temperature difference. Possible thermal bridge pre-
