1. Review
TemPro 550 is IR Thermometer for non-contact temperature measurements at the touch of button. The built-in laser
pointer increases target accuracy while the backlight LCD and handy push-buttons combine for convenient, ergonomic
operation.
TemPro 550 can be used to measure the temperature of objects’ surface that is improper to be measured by traditional
(contact) thermometer (such as moving object, the surface with electricity current or the objects which are uneasy to be
touched).
2. Measurement considerations
Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR Sensor toward the object whose temperature is to be measured. The meter
automatically compensates for temperature deviations from ambient temperature.
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and
transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a
temperature reading, which is displayed on the unit. The laser is used for aiming purposes only.

5. Safety requirements
Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminium, etc.). To
compensate, cover the measuring surface with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the
same temperature as the material under it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass. It will measure the surface temperature of the
glass instead.
Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s optics.
Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. When
accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.

7. Operation
Preparation before operation
Read the operating manual before use the instrument.
Take the instrument out of case.
Open battery cover and put 9V battery.
Thermometer On/Off
Pull and hold the trigger (4) to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace
the battery if the display does not light. The meter will automatically power down after approximately 20 seconds after
the trigger is released.
°C/°F
To choose the measuring unit press button (6).
EMS adjustment
The emissivity (EMS) - 0.95. To obtain more accurate values see appendix 1.
Laser pointer
Laser pointer is on when you turn on the unit. To turn off the laser pointer, press button (7) LASER.

Backlight
Backlight is on when you turn on the unit. To turn off the backlight, press button (8) BACKLIT.
Measurement operation
Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it towards the surface to be measured. Pull and hold the trigger (4) to turn
the meter on and begin testing. Release the trigger (4) and HOLD display icon will appear on display indicating that the
reading is being held.
Distance to spot size
When take measurement, pay attention to the Distance to Spot Size. As the Distance (D) from the target surface
increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The Distance to Spot size of the unit is
12:1.
This unit is equipped with a laser, which is used for aiming.
