4 Set Up
When first powered on the IR Sentinel will display the following usage statement:
1. The working environment of the infrared thermal sensor is recommended to be used indoors.
Optimum room temperature is 15 to 30 deg C. Avoid facing high temperature objects such as
windows, air conditioners, radiators and fluorescent lamps. Outdoor use will be affected by many
adverse environments, such as, sunshine, rain, cold, hot air, snow, cold and heat source objects, etc.
2. The infrared thermal sensor works in a stable state after 5 minutes of start up and operation.
3. The product is a non-medical device. The temperature measurement function of this
equipment is only to assist rapid self-help rapid body screening. Once the abnormal body
temperature shows, it is recommended to use medical temperature measurement equipment to
measure and confirm again.
4. The circle button under the screen is the ultrasonic module, which is used to detect the most
effective temperature measurement distance of 50cm. when using, please make sure there is no
obstruction object within 1.5m in front of the screen. DO NOT touch or press with your hand or
fingers.” Tap “confirm” if this is understood and accepted. The IR Sentinel will then display the
default screen.
