INTRODUCTION
Thisinstrumentisaportableeasyusecompact-sizeddigitalinfraredtempera-
ture transducer with laser marker designed for simple one hand operation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
It is recommended that you read the safety and operation instructions before
using the infrared thermometer.
The symbol on the instrument indicates that the operator must refer to an
explanation in this manual.

DANGER
Pressing the button turns the laser marker on and off. Exercise extreme care and do
not allow the laser beam to enter your eye or those of any other person or animal.
• Do not look directly into the laser light from the optical system.
• Whenmeasuringthetemperatureofanobjectwhichhasamirrorfinish,becarefulnot
to allow the laser light beam to be reflected off the surface into your eyes or those of
anotherperson.
• Do not allow the laser light beam to impinge upon any gas which can explode.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Push buttons
Laser Marker Button
Release MEAS button then press " " button to toggle between turn on and turn
off the Laser Marker annunciator, If " " annunciator turn on, press MEAS button
the laser marker beam is being emitted, releasing MEAS button turn off the laser
marker beam.
MEAS (MEASURE) Button
Depress MEAS button to turn on the meter for temperature measurement.
Release the MEAS button to stop temperature measurement.

OPERATION
1.Plugtheinfraredtemperature transducer test leads into the Vdc input jack and
common or ground input jack on the DMM. Observe polarity.
2. Set the DMM to the 2V range only, ignore the decimal point.
3. Use " " button to select turn on or turn off the Laser Marker.
4. Point the lens at the object whose temperature is to be measured.
5. Press the MEAS button. Measurement is performed as long as the MEAS
button is kept pressed.
6. Referring to the spot size figure, aim the laser beam at the object whose
temperature is to be measured.
NOTE: Although the field of measurement (or Field of View) and the spot almost
coincide, actually the field of measurement corresponds to the diameter for
90%opticalresponse.Theobjectwhosetemperatureistobemeasuredneeds
to be larger than the measurement diameter (spot of size) by an adequate
margin at least 1.5 to 2 times larger.
7. Read the DMM diaplay.

MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS
1. Theory of Measurement
Every object emits infrared energy in accordance with its temperature. By
mesuring the amount of this radiant energy, it is possible to determine the
temperature of the emitting object.
2. About Infrared
Infrared radiation is a form of light (electromagnectic radiation), and has the
property that it, passes easily through air while it is easily absorbed by solid
matter. With an emission thermometer which operates by detecting infrared
radiation accurate measurement is possible, irrespective of the air tempera-
ture or the measrement distance.
3. Emission Thermometer Structure
Infrared radiation which has been emitted from the object is focused upon an
infrared radiation sensor, via an optical system which includes a lens is
transparent to infrared rediation, an 5.3µm cut off filter. The output signal from
the infrared radiation sensor is input to an electronic circuit along with the
output signal from a standard tempeature sensor (Thermopile).

9
4.Emissivity
All objects emit invisible infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is
proportional to the object's temperature and its ability to emit IR energy. This
ability, called emissivity, is based upon the material that the object is made of
and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.10 for a very reflective
object to 1.00 for a black body. Factory set emissivity value of 0.95, which
cover 90% of typical applications.
5. If the surface to be measured is covered by frost or other material, clean it to
expose the surface.
6. If the surface to be measured is highly reflective, apply masking tape or matt
finish black paint to the surface.
7. If the meter seems to be giving incorrect readings check the front cone. There
may be condensation or debris obstructing the sensor; clean per instructions
in the maintenance section.

MAINTENANCE
Battery Replacement
Power is supplied by four 1.5V (AAA size) batteries. The "LOW BATT" red LED
lighted when replacement is needed.To replace the batteries, remove the screw
from the back of the meter and lift off the battery cover case. Remove the
batteries from battery contacts.
Cleaning
