Infrared Thermometers
Introduction
The 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (“the thermometers”) are for non-contact
temperature measurement. These thermometers determine an object’s surface
temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s
surface. The thermometers also support contact-temperature measurement via K-
type thermocouple. See the Users Manual CD for complete operating instructions.
Safety Information
WWarning
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards
to the user. To avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•*Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off
reflective surfaces.
•Replace the batteries as soon as the low-battery indicator
appears.
•Do not use the thermometer if it operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the
thermometer serviced.
•Do not operate the thermometer around explosive gas,
vapor, or dust.
•Do not connect the optional external probe to live
electrical circuits.
