Operating Instructions
Power ON and OFF
1. Gently pull the trigger to turn the thermometer on. The LCD
display and the backlight will turn on.
2. The thermometer will automatically shut off after 15 seconds
of inactivity.
Manual Measurement
1. Pull and hold the trigger after aiming at the target. The icon
will ash, indicating that the target temperature is being measured.
2. When the trigger is released, the icon will disappear and the
icon will appear indicating that measurement has stopped
and the last measured temperature will remain on-screen until
another measurement is taken or the unit turns off.
Continuous Temperature Measurement (Trigger Lock)
T he instrument allows for a continuous temperature measurement time to
be set from 1 minute to 4 hours. Refer to Trigger Lock Setup for details.
Note: This function is applicable for processes that require regular
monitoring of temperature.
1. Once the trigger lock function is enabled, the icon will appear on
the display and the SCAN icon will ash when the trigger is pressed.
2. Pull the trigger again to stop measuring and both the and SCAN
icons will disappear and the HOLD icon will appear. The thermometer
will now hold the last measured value until the unit turns off after 15
seconds of inactivity or until testing is resumed.
3. When the continuous temperature measurement time is reached, the
thermometer will automatically power off and save the last measured
value. You can view the last measured value by pulling the trigger.
Note: The last measured value is cleared when a new test scan is started.

setup after 10 seconds of inactivity or if the trigger is pulled at any time.
Turning High and Low Alarms ON/OFF
Press the HI/LO button to enable or disable the set alarms. To set alarms
refer to Setting the High Temperature Alarm or Setting the Low Temperature
Alarm. When the high alarm limit is turned on as indicated by HI on the
display, the red LED and "HI" indicator will ash when the set temperature
is exceeded. If the audible alarm function has been turned on, the meter will
also emit a beeping sound.
When the low alarm limit is turned on as indicated by LO on the display,
the blue LED and "LO" indicator will ash when the measured value is
below the set alarm. If the audible alarm function has been turned on, the
meter will also emit a beeping sound.

Appendix: Emissivity Chart
Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting characteristics
of materials. Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and
painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95.
Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal
surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking
tape or at black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same
temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the
tape or painted surface.
