micro IR-100 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
cant changes in ambient temperature (more than 30°F or 17°C)
are encountered, allow fifteen minutes for the micro IR-100 to
adjust for best accuracy.
Obstructions – Steam, dust, smoke and other obstructions
like glass or plastic between the micro IR-100 and the surface
being measured can decrease accuracy. These obstruct the
unit optics or give false readings (measure the temperature of
the glass instead of the surface). Do not use when obstructions
are present.
Consider these factors prior to operating the micro IR-100.
3. Make sure that all equipment has been properly inspected.

Operation

Turning ON and OFF (Taking Measurements)

1. Hold the micro IR-100 by the handle grip and point it at the
surface to be measured. Keep away from any electrical, mov-
ing or hot parts. Make sure that the unit is pointed in a safe di-
rection away from any bystanders before turning ON.
2. Squeeze the trigger to turn the micro IR-100 ON. When the
trigger is squeezed, the SCAN icon will be ON, and the micro
IR-100 will continuously update the displayed current temper-
ature value and display the maximum temperature value since
the unit was turned ON.
The micro IR-100 can be moved slowly over the surface to lo-
cate hot or cool areas. See the High Alarm and Low Alarm sec-
tions for information on high and low alarm settings.
3. When the trigger is released, the HOLD icon will be ON. The
micro IR-100 will automatically turn OFF after seven seconds
unless the unit is in Continuous Measurement mode.

The micro IR-100 can be locked ON to allow measurements with-
out holding the trigger. Make sure that the unit is pointed in a safe
direction away from any bystanders before turning ON. Turn the
micro IR-100 ON by squeezing and holding the trigger. While hold-
ing the trigger, press and release the menu button. The SCAN and
Lock icons will be ON. Release the trigger, and the micro IR-100 will
continuously update the measured temperature until the trigger
switch is squeezed and released again.

Laser Enabled/Disabled

If needed, the lasers used for aiming can be turned off to help con-
serve battery life. If this is done, extra care must be used when aim-
