Warning Symbols
The following symbols are found on the tool:
;Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user
must read the instruction amnual.
Features
This tool includes some or all of the following features.
1. LED spot projector
2. Infrared sensor
3. Battery Compartment
4. LCD screen
5. ON/OFF button
6. Threshold setting
Fig.A
LCD Display.
7. Reference temperature
Shows the temperature of the area where the instrument
was initially pointed when you turned on the power. To
reset the reference, turn the power off, aim at a new
reference spot, and turn the power back on.
8. Scan temperature
Shows the average temperature across the area you're
aiming at.
Note: The Thermal Leak Detector compares these two
temperatures. When the difference exceeds the threshold
you've set, the projected LED spot will change to red or blue.
Assembly
Warning! Use 9V size (6LR61) alkaline batteries only.
Installing the battery (g. B)
uOpen the battery compartment cover (3) by pressing the
tabs of the cover in towards the center and pulling the
cover out.
uInsert one 9V (6LR61) alkaline battery.
Note: Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity
(+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.
Note: Remove dead batteries immediately.
Changing the temperature display (g. B)
uOpen the battery compartment cover (3) by pressing the
tabs of the cover in towards the center and pulling the
cover out.
uSlide the temperature selection switch to the desired
position.
Note: Will set your thermal leak detector to the
Fahrenheit scale.
Note: Will set your thermal leak detector to the
Centigrade scale.
Use
Switching On and Off
uPress the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.
uPress the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off.
Note: The unit will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
Setting the threshold for colour change (g. C)
uFor detecting small temperature changes of 1º F (0.5º C),
move the slider to the 1º mark (9) on the back of the
detector.
uFor detecting medium temperature changes of 5º F (3º C),
move the slider to the 5º mark (10) on the back of the
detector.
uFor detecting large temperature changes of more than 10º
F (5.5º C), move the slider to the 10º (11) mark on the
back of the detector.
uIf you do not want the LED spot to change color, move the
slider to the top position (12) where the color spots are
X-ed out.
Note: You can change the threshold setting while you are
scanning. If the color is changing erratically, try increasing the
threshold. If you see a temperature difference on the screen,
but the light is not changing color, try reducing the threshold.
Using the thermal leak detector (g. D)
uHold the unit as shown.Aim near the location you want to
scan for a draft or thermal leak. This initial aim point will
be your reference target.
uTurn on the power.
uKeep the unit aimed at the reference target until the green
light shines on the target and a Reference Temperature
appears on the screen.
uSlowly scan the Thermal Leak Detector across the area of
interest. If the scanned temperature is hotter than the
reference temperature by more than the threshold, the
light will turn from green to red. If the scanned temperature
is colder than the reference temperature by more than the
threshold, the light will turn from green to blue.

(Original instructions)
Examples of Use:
u Scan around a light xture to determine if ceiling insulation
was removed during installation.
uScan along window and door sills to see where to add
weather-stripping.
u Scan where a wall and the oor meet to nd drafts that
should be caulked.
uScan an attic door to see if you need to add insulation.
Note: Shiny or polished surfaces can give inaccurate
readings. To compensate for this, cover the surface with
masking tape or at colored paint. When the tape or paint
reaches the same temperature as the target underneath,
measure the temperature of the item.
Note: The thermometer cannot measure through transparent
surfaces such as glass or plastic. It will measure the surface
temperature instead.
Note: Steam, dust, smoke, and other optical obstructions can
prevent accurate measurement. Hold the thermometer back
and at an angle for an accurate measurement.
Field of View (g. E)
The Thermal Leak Detector measures temperature over an
area that may be larger than the LED spot, especially if you
are far away from the surface you are measuring. The
diameter of the measured area is 1/6 the distance from the
Detector. In other words, if you are 6 inches (152 mm) from
the target, the Detector will measure the average temperature
over a circle 1 inch (25mm) in diameter.As shown in the table
below, the farther the distance from the target, the larger the
measured area.
Position (g. E) 13 14 15 16
Distance to target (mm) 152 305 457 610
Diameter of measurement
area (mm) 25 51 76 102
If you are just looking for hot and cold areas, it's OK if the
scanned area is larger than your target. However, if you want
to accurately measure the temperature of an object, move the
Detector close so that the scanned area is about half the size
of the object you want to measure.
Maintenance
Your Black & Decker corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum
