Thank you for purchasing SkyRC Infrared Thermometer. This is a non-contact infrared thermometer
specifically designed for use with R/C engines, electronic speed controllers, motors, battery packs,
battery chargers and etc.
Simply aim the infrared thermometer at the target and press the measurement button to quickly and
easily display the surface temperature!
FEATURES
High accuracy and high speed infrared sensor
Four modes for temperature records: Quick Mode / Scan Mode / Max. Value / Min. Value
Celsius and Fahrenheit scale selectable
Testing a wide range of temperature from -40℃(-40℉) to 380℃(716℉)
The infrared emissivity coefficient can be adjusted
A large LCD can display temperature, emissivity coefficient and battery’s capacity, etc.,
and applied with back light, which make it easy to operate and read
Low power consumption and powered by 2 x AAA batteries (Battery Excluded)
1 minute auto-off timer to save battery’s life

Aluminum Cup MEASURING TEMPERATURES
There are four methods to begin measuring temperatures. Point the aluminum cup located on the top
end of the gauge directly at the object to be measured, and do one of the following:
1. Quick Mode
This thermometer can temporarily store maximum or minimum temperatures. Turn the unit on by
pressing the “MEASURE” button. Then, press the “MODE” button once for the maximum function or
twice for minimum. The appropriate MAX or MIN icon will display in the screen.
Point the aluminum cup to the object being measured, and press and
hold the “MEASURE” button and the thermometer will display and locked
the hottest or MAX temperature that is observed while the button is being
held.
Point the aluminum cup to the object being measured, and press and
hold the “MEASURE” button and the thermometer will display and locked
the coolest or MIN temperature that is observed while the button is being
held.
Press the “MEASURE” button once for an instantaneous temperature reading to be shown on-
screen.
Moving the aluminum cup as close as possible to the target.
Press and hold the “MEASURE” button to read temperatures continually. The temperature
onscreen will be updated continually. Release “MEASURE” button will cause the last reading to
remain locked on-screen.

Determine the appropriate measurement distance from your target.
Best measurements are made when the cup is in contact with the target, so that the infrared
sensor’s field of view is fully focused on the object.
Change display measurement units.
Turn on the device by pressing the “MEASURE” button, then simply press the “°C/°F” button, and
the unit of measure shown on screen will be changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa.
GENERAL OPERATION
THIS WARRANTY IS ONLY VALID IN THE COUNTRY OF PURCHASE AND THROUGH FORMAL
DISTRIBUTOR.
We guarantee this product to be free of manufacturing and assembly defects for a period of one year
from the time of purchase. The warranty only applies to material or operational defects, which are
present at the time of purchase. During that period, we will repair or replace free of service charge for
products deemed defective due to those causes.
For any repair or replace service, please contact your dealer in the first instance, who is responsible for
processing guarantee claims. This warranty is not valid for any damage or subsequent damage arising
as a result of misuse, modification or as a result of failure to observe the procedures outlined in this
manual.

In general, if you are not comfortable to change emissivity value, it is best NOT to change it. Factory
default emissivity value is 0.95 which will provide accurate temperature measurements for most
materials.
To change emissivity setting, first turn on the gauge on by pressing the “MEASURE” button, and
hold “MODE” + “°C/°F” buttons simultaneously. The emissivity value on the screen will blinking.
Push “MODE” button to increase emissivity value and push “°C/°F” button to decrease emissivity
value.

Emissivity Coefficients of some common Materials for RC products
The emissivity of a material (usually written ) is the relative ability of its surface to emit energy by
radiation. It is the ratio of energy radiated by a particular material to energy radiated by a black body
at the same temperature. Different types of materials have different emissivity values.
5. Change emissivity coefficient value.

2. Battery replacement
When the battery power indicator is low, you should change battery immediately. Low battery will
affect the accuracy of measurement. Open the battery compartment and replace 2 X AAA battery.
