Usage Notes
Do not allow the laser light beam to impinge upon any
gas which can explode.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than thosespecified herein may result in hazard-
ous radiation exposure.
•TheModelFT3700-20, FT3701-20 uses as a light source a
semiconductorlaserwhichemits visiblelight,andwhichcon-
forms to IEC standard class 2 (IEC 60825-1). (Wavelength
640 nm to 660 nm, maximum power output 1 mW)
Since there is considerable danger of this laser light causing
damage to the eyes, be very careful not to direct this laser
light into your eyes or those of another person.
• Do not look directly into the laser light from the optical system.

reflected off the surface into your eyes or those of another
person.
• This instrument should be installed and operated indoors on-
ly, between 0 and 50°C and 80% RH or less.
• Do not store or use theinstrument where it could be exposed
to direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or conden-
sation. Under such conditions, the instrument may be dam-
aged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer
meets specifications.
• This instrument is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-
proof. Do not use it in an especially dusty environment, nor
where it might be splashed with liquid. This may cause damage.

Usage Notes
Do not allow the laser light beam to impinge upon any
gas which can explode.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than thosespecified herein may result in hazard-
ous radiation exposure.
•TheModelFT3700-20, FT3701-20 uses as a light source a
semiconductorlaserwhichemits visiblelight,andwhichcon-
forms to IEC standard class 2 (IEC 60825-1). (Wavelength
640 nm to 660 nm, maximum power output 1 mW)
Since there is considerable danger of this laser light causing
damage to the eyes, be very careful not to direct this laser
light into your eyes or those of another person.
• Do not look directly into the laser light from the optical system.
• When measuring the temperature of an object which has a
mirror finish, be careful not to allow the laser light beam to be
reflected off the surface into your eyes or those of another
person.
• This instrument should be installed and operated indoors on-
ly, between 0 and 50°C and 80% RH or less.
• Do not store or use theinstrument where it could be exposed
to direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or conden-
sation. Under such conditions, the instrument may be dam-
aged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer
meets specifications.
• This instrument is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-
proof. Do not use it in an especially dusty environment, nor
where it might be splashed with liquid. This may cause damage.
• Do not use the instrument where it may be exposed to corrosive
or combustible gases. The instrument may be damaged.
• Do not use the instrument near a source of strong electro-
magnetic radiation, or near a highly electrically charged ob-
ject. These may cause a malfunction.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially careful
to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• Do not point the lens at the sun or at any other source of
strong light. If you do, the sensor may be damaged.
• Do not contact the lens against the object whose tempera-
ture is to be measured, or get it dirty, allow it to be scratched,
or allow any foreign material to adhere to it. Doing so may
cause errors.

Thermal Emissivity
• Variations in the surface condition and color of the object whose temper-
ature is to be measured may cause the thermal emissivity () to be
somewhat different from the values in the above table. If an accurate
temperature measurement is desired for an object whose thermal emis-
sivity is not known, black body tape (commercially available) should be
used. In this case the setting for thermal emissivity () should be the
value indicated on black body tape.
• Iron and other objects with low thermal emissivity reflect their surround-
ing temperature, causing inaccuracies in measurement. The black body
tape (commercially available) is also recommended when measuring
these objects of low thermal emissivity.
• A black body is an object that represents a standard emissivity, and may
not necessarily be black in color.

tinuously without needing to pull the measurement trigger.
Pressing the MODE key while the instrument is on causes it to cy-
cle through the following modes:
MAX/MIN/DIF/AVG measurement
The instrument will display the maximum value, minimum value,
difference between the maximum and minimum values, and av-
erage value since measurement began.
• Press the MODE key to display "MAX", "MIN", "dIF" or "AVG" on the sub-
display.
• The MAX/MIN/DIF/AVG value will be refreshed when you pull the mea-
surement trigger or while continuous measurement mode is active.
• When using the continuous measurement mode, the key response may
be slow.
The alarm can be set to go off whenever a value which is higher
or lower than a threshold value inputted beforehand is reached.
