Sealey VS903 User manual

LASER SAFETY
The VS903 utilises a Class II laser that emits low levels of visible radiation (i.e. wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometres)
which are safe for the skin but not inherently safe for the eyes. The Class II emission limit is set at the maximum level for which eye
protection is normally afforded by natural aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye exposure is therefore normally safe,
although the natural aversion response can be overridden by deliberately staring into the beam, and can also be influenced by the use
of alcohol or drugs.
pWARNING! Do not look or stare into the laser beam as permanent eye damage could result.
7DO NOT direct the laser beam at any persons (or animals) eyes as eye damage could result.
8DO NOT operate the thermometer when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
3Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or other shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye exposure.

3. OPERATION
3.1 IR Measurements
3.1.1 Point the meter towards the object to be measured.
3.1.2 Press and hold the MEASURE button. (fig.1.6)
3.1.3 The meter and laser will turn on and take a reading.

Note: The object being measured should be larger than the spot size (see fig. 2).
Measurement considerations: If the surface of an object to be measured is covered with frost, dust or other materials, surface
cleaning must be performed before accurate measurements can be made.
Highly Reflective Surfaces: If the surface of an object to be measured is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black paint to the
surface (black has a fixed emissivity value).
