Non-contact infrared thermometer
981A
Instruction manual
Compact, rugged and easy to use. Just aim and push the
button, read current surface temperatures in less than a
second. Safely measure surface temperatures of hot,
hazardous or hard-to-reach objects without contact.
Infrared thermometer measures the surface temperature
of an object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected,
and transmitted energy which is collect and focused onto
a detector. The unit’s electronics transmitted energy
which is display on the unit. For increased ease and
accuracy the laser pointer makes aiming even more
Infrared thermometer should be protected for the
--EMF(electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders,
--Thermal shock(cause by large or abrupt ambient
temperature changes allow 1 hours for unit to stabilize
--Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high
Do not point laser at eye or indirectly off reflective
1. When take measurement, point thermometer toward
the object to be measured and hold the yellow
trigger. The object under test should be large than
the spot size calculated by the field of view
2. Distance ＆spot size: As the distance from the
object increase, the spot size of measuring area
3. Field of view: Make sure the target is larger than the
unit’s spot size. The smaller the target the close
measure distance. When accuracy is critical, make
sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot
4. Emissivity: Most organic materials and painted or
oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95.
Inaccurate readings will result from measuring
shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate,
cover the surface to be measured with masking tape
or flat black paint. Measure the tape or painted
surface when the tape or painted reach the same
temperature as the material underneath.
