infrared thermometer

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the BALTECH TL infrared
thermometer. The device allows you to perform non-contact
one-touch temperature measurement. The built-in laser
pointer improves targeting, while backlit LCD display and
handy buttons make the device more ergonomic. The non-
contact infrared thermometers can be used for temperature
measurement of surfaces, that can't be measured with
traditional (contact) thermometers (e.g. moving or hard-to-
get-to objects, surfaces of pressurized objects).
Before you start using the device read this operation manual
carefully.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The infrared thermometer BALTECH TL is designed for non-
contact temperature measurements of industrial and
household objects. The device can be used for temperature
monitoring of electrical equipment, conditioning and
ventilation systems, industrial and residential buildings, in
scientific experiments.

SELF-RADIATION
The Infrared thermometer pe r forms no n - c o n t a c t
temperature measurement of object surfaces through
measurement of thermal radiation. Radiated, reflected and
transmitted energies (figure 2.1) are collected and focused
on the infrared detector. A built-in digital processor converts
the information into temperature data in accordance with
the selected operation mode, and displays it on the
multifunction LCD.

The device is marked with a nameplate on the side face of
the measurement unit. The nameplate contains the device
name, measurement range, field of view and manufacturer
name.
The device is packed in a plastic carrying case with
polyurethane foam inserts.
Device appearance and functions
of main elements are shown on the figure 2.2.

Figure 3.1
DEVICE APPLICATION
3.1 Operating limitations
The device can be used at the environmental temperature
from 0 to 50°C and relative humidity from 10 to 90%.
A controlled object must be bigger than a size of a spot,
which is calculated according to the diagram of FOV
(paragraph 3.3.3. of the this operation manual)
The device can't perform measurements through
transparent surfaces, for example glass or plastic material.
It will measure the temperature of these materials.
Steam, dust and fume or other substances can lead to
inaccurate measurement results due to the creation of
obstacles for the device's optics.
When operating with the laser pointer, do not direct the laser
beam towards eyes or mirror surfaces (figure 3.1).
3.2 Prestarting procedures
3.2.1 Safety measures
It is necessary to observe the following safety measures:
- to protect the device from exposure of electro-magnetic
stirring, emitted during arc welding and when using
induction heaters.
- to protect the device from heat shock (at a high
temperature or sharp temperature change, it is necessary to
wait for 30 minutes before you start using the device).
- do not leave the device on or near objects with a high
temperature.
- to protect the device from static electricity.

3.2.2 External examination
Before you start using the device, it is necessary to carry out
an external examination of the device concerning damages
and contamination of the lens and display. If there is
contamination, it is necessary to perform maintenance of
the device in accordance with paragraph 4 of this operation
manual. If there are mechanical damages, make sure, that
they will not influence readings, or send the device for repair.
Preparation consists of evaluation of emissivity of controlled
objects and to enter these values into the device. The
em issi vity is de termi ned by mean s of th e tabl e or
experimentally (paragraph 3.3.4 of this operation manual).
If necessary, one can perform modification of a controlled
surface for the purpose of emissivity increasing.
It is also necessary to make sure, that the controlled spot
size is smaller, than the size of a controlled object at a
defined distance to the object.
To select measurement units (°C or °F) and switch on (off)
the laser pointer, open the cover in the device handle (figure
3.2) and set the corresponding switches to a proper
position.
If the device screen displays « », open the cover in the
device handle (figure 3.2) and change the battery. You can
use both alkaline battery, type 6F22 and nickel-cadmium
battery or nickel metal hydride battery of the same size.

required mode is performed by multiple pressing of a button
and through control of the required mode on the device
display. The device operation modes and sequence of their
selection are shown on the figure 3.4. After the mode is
selected, press the measurement start button and start
measuring. Release the button to switch off the device. The
device will switch off in about 6 seconds.

REMARKS
1. MEMORY: To save the values, press the button
«M». To delete all the records, select «DATAO», using
the  or  button, and press the button «M».
2. FIXATION: After the operation mode is selected,
press the measurement start button to start
measuring (figure 2.2). Push the lock button for
continuous measurements without having to press
the start measurement button. The device will
operate continuously in the selected mode without
automatic shutdown.
3. In scan mode, the LCD displays both the current
temperature in Celsius or in Fahrenheit. The unit will
hold the last reading for 6 seconds after the
measurement start button is released. When the
battery is low, the battery icon will be displayed, but
the device will continue to operate.
4. When DATA# flashes, the temperature value on
the main display can be recorded in the # memory
unit by pressing the button «M».

The field of view is the angle of vision of the device, which is
determined by the optics of the device. The field of view is
the ratio of the distance from the device lens to the
measurement spot* to the measurement spot diameter.
The FOV diagram is shown on the figure 3.5.
3.3.3 Field of View (FOV)
The field of view for this device is determined at the distance
of 1 meter from the lens. At smaller distances the spot
diameter is almost constant and is ~17-19 mm, and at
bigger distances the FOV starts decreasing.
*Measurement spot is an area, from which more than 90%
of emission is fallen to the detector.

Most of organic matters and painted or oxidized surfaces
have the emissivity 0,95 (predefined in the device). But
when measuring the temperature of shiny or polished
metal surfaces, you can have inaccurate measurement
results. To remove this error, set up the emissivity of a
controlled object in the device (see the table below and
setting description in the paragraph 3.3.2) , or stick a dark
scotch tape (friction tape) on the measured surface or coat it
with black mat paint. Carry out measurement of the
modified surface, when this material has the same
temperature, as the controlled object has (in several
minutes).
If the object surface allows no painting or black tape, you
can measure the temperature, using a contact thermometer
and pyrometer, after which calculate emissivity as the ratio
of pyrometer readings to contact thermometer readings.
The emissivity of the most common materials is specified in
the table.
