Please use the thermometer correctly by keeping the following items.
In addition, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it at the place where
you can access easily.
The mark indicates prohibited operations.
Warning (May cause death or serious injury)
Don’t operate the thermometer in places where combustible or volatile gas is
existed.
It is extremely dangerous to use the thermometer in such environment.
When connecting power to the power terminals, make
sure that all mains is
turned off to prevent an electric shock.
Don’t use the thermometer if it was broken, smoking or nasty smelling.
These
may cause fire. For such abnormal condition, turn off the power switch at once
and contact your sales agent of CHINO Corporation.
Laser may damage your eyes. Don’t stare into a laser beam. Make sure to target
the laser when you want to decide the center of the measuring object only and to
go off it after the center of the measuring object is decided.
Never take the thermometer apart or convert it.
These may cause trouble and danger.
Caution (May cause injury or physical damage)
Be careful not to give vibration or impact to the thermometer. Install the thermometer
by keeping it as far as possible from an inductive oscillator or electric power line.
Do not use the thermometer in dusty places, noisy places and static electricity places.
Do not wire the connection cable near a noise occurrence resource, relay drive line,
high frequency line and power line.
Do not bundle the connection cable with the line that noise is doubling, and do not
store it into the same duct.
Read the entire contents in this instruction manual to have the thermometer function
perfectly.

1. Introduction
1.1 General
IR-CAK is single color radiation thermometer.
Converting functions enabling digital temperature display and parameter programming are built-in.
It is suitable for measuring especially a low-temperature region at high speed.
Also it is suited to measurement such as metal, by short measuring wavelength.
This thermometer is the high accuracy fixed focus type that adopted the front chop method.
And this thermometer has laser targeting function for targeting to the measuring objects.
The radiation energy collected through the objective lens is transmitted to the element is converted into an
electrical signal. The element output is digitally converted and processed through emissivity
compensation, linearizer and modulation. The standardized final output is 4 to 20mA DC. Functional keys
make programming or selection of emissivity, signal modulation and alarm function easy.
2 types of connection by terminals or a connector are available in this thermometer depending on a
connection cable. Various options and accessories are prepared for every kind of applications.
