PURPOSE
This Infrared Thermometer is used for measuring the
temperature of an object’s surface without contact.
Use for various hot, hazardous or hard-to-reach
objects.
This unit consists of optics, temperature sensor signal
amplifier, processing circuit and LCD display. The
optics collect the infrared energy emitted by the object
and focus onto the sensor. Then the sensor translates
the energy into an electricity signal. This signal will
show as a digital image on the LCD after the signal
amplifier and processing circuit.

WARNING
This manual contains information that relates to
PROTECTING PERSONAL SAFETY and PREVENTING
ACCIDENT AND INJURY:
1. Before you use this unit, check on the plastic
housing carefully. If there is any damage, do not
use it.
2. Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off
reflective surfaces. Uses Laser Radiation; do not
stare into the beam. Class II Laser product.
3. Do not use this unit near explosive gas, steam
or dust.
CAUTION
To avoid the damage of the unit or the target, please
protect from the following situations:
1. EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders,
induction heaters, etc..
2. Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient
temperature changes) allows 30 minutes for unit to
stabilize before use.
3. Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high
temperature.
Distance to spot size:
When taking a measurement, pay attention to the
distance to spot size. As the distance (D) from the
target surface increases, the spot size (S) of the area
measured by the unit gets larger.
The distance to spot size of the unit is 12:1. This unit is
equipped with a laser, which is used for aiming.
Field of view:
Make sure the target is larger than the unit’s spot size.
The smaller the target is the closer the measurement of
the distance. When accuracy is critical, make sure the
target is at least twice as large as the spot size.

Emissive:
Most organic materials and painted or oxidized
surfaces have an emissive of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit).
Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny
or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cover the
target surface with masking tape or flat black paint.
Measure the tape or painted surface when the tape
or painted surface reach the same temperature as the
material underneath.
Operating:
1. Operating the unit:
1) Make sure the 9 volt battery is inserted correctly.
2) Press the trigger to turn on the unit.
3) Aim at the target surface and pull the trigger,
then temperature will be shown on the LCD.
This unit is equipped with a laser, which is only
used for aiming.
2. Locating a Hot Spot:
To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside
of interest, and then scan across with an up and
down motion until you locate the hot spot.
