Pre Operation Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect your infrared thermometer and cor
rect any problems to reduce the risk of injury or incorrect
measurements.
Do not look into the laser beam. Looking into the laser beam
may be hazardous to the eyes.
1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from equipment. This aids inspec-
tion.
2. Inspect the micro IR-100 for any broken, worn, missing, mis-
aligned or binding parts, or any other condition which may pre-
vent safe and normal operation.

Figure 7 – Field f View
The spot should always be smaller than the surface. The
smaller the surface, the closer the micro IR-100 should be to
the surface. For the best accuracy, the surface should be twice
as large as the spot.
Emissivity – Emissivity is a term use to describe energy emit-
ting characteristics of materials and has a value ranging from
0 to 1. The micro IR-100 uses a fixed emissivity of 0.95 to cal-
culate temperatures. This value is appropriate for the great ma-
jority of uses, including most painted surfaces.
Shiny or polished surfaces have a low emissivity and will give
inaccurate readings. One way to compensate for this is to apply
masking tape or flat black paint to the surface. Allow the tape
or paint to come to the same temperature as the surface and
measure the temperature of the tape or paint.
Temperature – While the micro IR-100 compensates for vari-
ation from ambient temperature, large changes in ambient and
measured temperatures can reduce accuracy. When signifi-
Do not direct the laser beam towards other people. Make sure
the laser is aimed above or below eye level. Laser beams may
be hazardous to the eyes.
Take appropriate precautions when working near electrical,
moving or hot parts. Close contact may cause electrical shock,
entanglement, burns and other serious injury. Protective equip
ment may be required.
Set up and operate the infrared thermometer according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury or incorrect meas
urements.
Set Up
1. Check for an appropriate work area as indicated in the General
Safety Section.
2. Inspect the object being measured to and confirm that you have
correct equipment for the application. See the Specifications
section for range, accuracy and other information.
There are a variety of factors that can affect the accuracy of
the micro IR-100, including:
Field of view – The micro IR-100 uses two lasers to project
points on either side of the area to be measured. These points
indicate the approximate diameter of the area (the “Spot”) that
the temperature is being measured in. As the micro IR-100
moves further (D) away from the surface, that area and spot
size (S) increases. The area is approximately 0.05 times the
distance to the surface. (See Fig re 7.)

Continuous Measurement (Scanning) Mode
The micro IR-100 can be locked ON to allow measurements with-
out holding the trigger. Make sure that the unit is pointed in a safe
direction away from any bystanders before turning ON. Turn the
micro IR-100 ON by squeezing and holding the trigger. While hold-
ing the trigger, press and release the menu button. The SCAN and
Lock icons will be ON. Release the trigger, and the micro IR-100 will
continuously update the measured temperature until the trigger
switch is squeezed and released again.
Laser Enabled/Disabled
If needed, the lasers used for aiming can be turned off to help con-
serve battery life. If this is done, extra care must be used when aim-
cant changes in ambient temperature (more than 30°F or 17°C)
are encountered, allow fifteen minutes for the micro IR-100 to
adjust for best accuracy.
bstructions – Steam, dust, smoke and other obstructions
like glass or plastic between the micro IR-100 and the surface
being measured can decrease accuracy. These obstruct the
unit optics or give false readings (measure the temperature of
the glass instead of the surface). Do not use when obstructions
are present.
Consider these factors prior to operating the micro IR-100.
3. Make sure that all equipment has been properly inspected.
Operation
Turning ON and OFF (Taking Measurements)

saires. Portez systématiquement une protection oculaire. Le port
dʼun masque à poussière, de chaussures de sécurité antidéra-
pantes, dʼun casque de chantier ou de protecteurs dʼoreilles sʼim-
pose lorsque les conditions lʼexigent.
•Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Maintenez une bonne
position de travail et un bon équilibre à tout moment. Cela
vous permettra de mieux contrôler lʼappareil en cas dʼimprévu.
Utilisation et entretien de l’appareil
•Ne forcez pas lʼappareil. Prévoyez un appareil adapté aux
travaux envisagés. Lʼappareil approprié fera le travail plus effi-
cacement et avec un plus grand niveau de sécurité lorsquʼil
tourne au régime prévu.
•Nʼutilisez pas lʼappareil si son interrupteur marche/arrêt ne
fonctionne pas correctement. Tout appareil qui ne peut pas être
contrôlé par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
•Retirez le bloc-piles de lʼappareil avant de le régler, de
changer ses accessoires ou de le ranger. De telles mesures
préventives limiteront les risques de blessure.
•Rangez tout appareil non utilisé hors de la portée des en-
fants et des individus qui nʼont pas été familiarisés avec ce
type de matériel ou son mode dʼemploi. Les appareils élec-
triques peuvent devenir dangereux sʼils tombent entre les mains
dʼutilisateurs non initiés.
