INFRARED THERMOMETER
DH-IF-THERMO
Description
Dromex® DH-IF-THERMO infrared hand held thermometer, is designed to scan
the forehead of groups of individuals or for monitoring an individual in
detection of elevated temperatures, without having to be in direct contact of
the person. This thermometer also measures temperature of objects.
The lightweight Dromex thermometer features the following:
• An automatic high temperature warning alarm, which sirens when
measurements are above 38˚C.
• One second temperature measurement results due to the high sensor
quality.
• An LED luminous display function, suitable for measuring at night (also
prevents disturbance for babies).
• One key operation.
• Has a large memory capacity memory that stores up to 32 measurements,
ideal for monitoring of children and sick patients.
This scanner is suitable for use when conducting temperature checks used by
hospitals, offices, airports, at home and mobile screenings.
Special Instructions
• Always read instructions before use.
• Always use a clinical thermometer when high accuracy body temperature
measurements are required.
• Always use a clinical thermometer to varify any abnormal temperature
measurements.
• For the most accurate results, readings should be conducted at ambient
room temperature of 10 to 40˚C (50 to 140˚F). If the surrounding
temperature is lower than 10˚C or higher than 40˚C, measurement accuracy
is not assured.
• Make sure the skin is dry and that no hair interferes with the measurement.
• Do not immerse the thermometer in water.
• Avoid touching and/or scratching the infrared sensor lens.
• Clean the lens area by gently blowing with compressed air and use a damp
swab to wipe the lens. Do not use any solvents to clean the lens.
• Actual conditions of use cannot be directly simulated in a test environment
therefore it is the responsibility of the end user and not the manufacturer or
supplier to determine the scanners suitability for the intended use.
Instructions for use
Measurements Notes
• If the meter has been stored in a cold or hot environment, allow it at least
30 minutes to acclimate to room temperature before making measurements.
• To prevent transmission of disease, avoid direct contact with the skin.
• After heavy exercise always wait at least 10 minutes before taking forehead
temperature readings.
•Temperature Mode settings
• With the meter ON, press“Mode”button for three seconds until to “F-1”
shown to enter the long term calibration drift correction mode. On entering
the mode, the previous temperature correction factor will appear on the
display. To make a correction, measure a known, fixed temperature source.
Enter the correction mode and press the + or - buttons to change the
correction value and minimize the difference in readings. Repeat and adjust
the correction value as needed until the measurement on the meter
matches the known temperature. The mode is applied to Body Temp.
• Press the“Mode”button a second time “F-2” shown to set the alarm
temperature limit. Press the + or - buttons to change the value.
The mode is applied to Body Temp.
• Press the“Mode”button a third time “F-3” shown to set the °C/°F temperature
units. The temperature units °C or °F will be shown. Press the + or - buttons
to change the unit.
• Press the“Mode”button a forth time “F-4”shown to set the backlit status.
Press the + or - buttons to switch from ON to OFF.
• Press the“Mode”button a fifth time “F-5”shown to set the laser status.
Press the + or - buttons to switch from ON to OFF.
Notice: Only when the laser head installed.

About 1 second later, when the beep
sounds, it indicates the body
temperature has been measured. The
result of the measurement is displayed
on the screen and displayed
(red, yellow, green).

•Body Temperature Measurement
Please note that the forehead/temples must be free from sweat and
cosmetics and that taking vasoconstrictive medication and skin irritations
can distort the result when measuring temperature on the forehead.
• Press the trigger to switch the thermometer on with one beeper. The device
performs a brief self test: all elements of the display are shown for approx.
1 second. Following a successful self test with backlit (Red-Orange-Green),
• Press the“B/O” button for“Body temp”for accurate measurements in the
range of 32.0 to 42.9°C (89.6 to 109.2°F).
• Hold the meter by its handle and point it toward the surface to be measured.
Measurement distance should be <2.5cm(<1 in ).
• Press the trigger to take a temperature reading. The temperature reading
appears in the display.

• Release the trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 15 seconds
after which thermometer will automatically shut off.
Note: Before shutting off, you can take further measurement.
• If the temperature goes above 109.2°F or 42.9°C,“Hi” will appear in the
display.
If the temperature goes below 89.6°F or 32.0°C,“Lo” will appear in the
display.

Object Temperature Measurements
• Release the trigger to switch the thermometer on with one beeper. The
device performs a brief self test: all elements of the display are shown for
approx. 1 second.
Following a successful self test with backlit (Red-Orange-Green).
• Press the“B/O” button for“Object temp” for accurate measurements in the
range of 0.0 to 100.0°C (32.0 to 212.0°F).
• Hold the meter by its handle and point towards the surface to be measured.
• Press the trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 15 seconds
after which thermometer will automatically shut off.
Note: Before shutting off, you can take further measurements.
• If the thermometer goes above 212°F or 100°C, “Hi”will appear in the display.
If the temperature goes below 32°F or 0°C,“Lo” will appear in the display.
Notice:
• The value under this Mode is object temperature instead of core tempera-
ture.
• The defaulted infrared from the real temperature according to different
emissivity.
For example, the reading on stainless steel will be obviously lower than the
actual temperature. BE CAUTIONS FOR SCALDING.
Data memory
• To review the logged data points, press the “Memory”button for one second
while the unit is ON until “M” symbol shown on the display. Use the + or -
buttons to scroll through the stored measurements and memory locations.
To delete all memory data, please take off the batteries when power is on.
Notice:
Under Body-Object-switch for “Body temp” Mode, the body temperature
memories display.
Under Body-Object-switch for “Object temp”Mode, the object temperature
memories display;
Battery Replacement
• When the low battery symbol appears in the display, replace the meter’s
battery.
The battery is compartment is located on the bottom of the handle, press
down on the battery compartment lock and at the same time slide the
battery compartment downwards.
Replace the 2 AA batteries and close the battery compartment cover.
