II. INTRODUCTION - Combines Infrared, RTD and thermocouple
capabilities in a single unit. For general purpose applications chose any
type K, J, R, E, or T thermocouple probe. For a precise temperature
reading use the PT100 RTD probe. The built-in IR thermometer features
a laser guide and adjustable emissivity. The distance-to-spot ratio is
approximately 7:1. Other features include C & F selection, min-max
memory, relative temperature, auto power o󰀨 and hold. Has a convenient
tripod back and an easy to read back-lit display with large ½” high digits.
LASER WARNING!
III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - See Fig A, page 2 for button locations.
A. IR MEASUREMENT
1. Press the POWER button (2) to turn the unit on. The display will count
down from 99999, 88888, etc. to 00000, then show the IR temperature
and the emissivity on the LCD’s right bottom corner.
Example indicates a temperature of
74°F with emissivity of 0.95
2. Use the °C/°F button (7) to change scales.
3. Point the IR Sensing Head (12) at the object to be measured.
The meter will display the surface temperature.
EMISSIVITY - All objects emit invisible energy. The amount of energy is
emitted proportional to the object’s temperature and it’s ability to emit energy.
Emissivity is based on the material that the object is made of and it’s surface
roughness. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for highly reective objects,
to 1.00 for a at black surface. The probe of your IR Thermometer senses
energy and calculates the temperature based on the amount of IR energy it
receives, plus a factory set emissivity value of 0.95.
An emissivity value of 0.95 will cover 90% of the typical applications. If the
emissivity value of the measured material is not 0.95, you can adjust the
emissivity value. Matching the correct emissivity with the specic value of
the object is important in order to obtain the exact temperature.
Press the EMISSIVITY button (8) for at least 2 seconds. Release the button
when the emissivity value begins to ash. Use the ïbutton (2) to select the
digit and the ñ(7) or ò(4) buttons to adjust the emissivity
CAUTION: Do not point laser directly at eye.
Use caution around ref lective surf aces. Keep
out of reach of children.

DISTURBANCE - Objects with low emissivity or objects with a low
temperature and high emissivity, emit little infrared energy. For this reason,
measurement of these objects is a󰀨ected by
infrared energy radiated from nearby objects with
high emissivity or high temperatures.
When such objects are measured in sunlight for
example, radiated energy from the sun is reected
by the surface of the object and received by the
sensor. Use a shielding plate to block outside
infrared energy.
CALIBRATION - Check the unit against a known
standard. If the value has drifted, press and hold
down both the HOLD (5) and REC (6) buttons. The
temperature reading and the small digits in the lower
right corner will display the same value.
Continue pressing the HOLD and REC buttons
while using the ñ(7) or ò(4) buttons to adjust the
temperature reading to your standard. The small digits
retain your pre-calibration reading. Release all buttons
when you have reached the adjusted temperature.
After releasing the buttons, the small digits will
disappear in Thermocouple or RTD modes and the
calibration is complete. In IR mode, the preset
emissivity will be displayed.
NOTES
• If the object you are measuring is covered with frost, clear the frost to
expose the object’s surface before taking the measurement.
• If the surface you are measuring is highly reective, apply masking tape or
a paint that has a 0.95 emissivity.
• The display may uctuate if the meter is moved during measurement.
• The unit will automatically compensate for ambient temperature.
• For the most accurate measurement, allow the unit to adjust to the ambient
temperature for about 30 minutes before use.
• When a low temperature is measured directly after a high temperature has
been measured, the display may take some time to stabilize.

B. THEMOCOUPLE MEASUREMENT (K, J, T, E, R)
1. With the meter on, press the SENSOR button (3) to select your sensor
type. The display shows: IR, Pt3850, K, J,T, E, or R.
2. Insert the probe plug into the Thermocouple Input (11).
3. Press the °C/°F button (7) to select the temperature scale.
4. The LCD will display the temperature reading.
5. If needed, follow the Calibration Procedures on page 4.
NOTES
• Match the plug’s polarity to the unit’s polarity.
• To obtain the most accurate reading, the plug must stabilize at the
temperature of the socket. This will take a few minutes and only applies if
the probe plug has been exposed to an ambient temperature di󰀨erent to
that of the thermometer.
C. PT 100 OHM MEASUREMENT
1. With the meter on, press the SENSOR button (3) to select “Pt3850.”
2. Insert the PT 100 probe into the Pt100Ω Input Socket (13).
3. Press the °C/°F button (7) to select the temperature scale. The LCD will
display the temperature reading.
4. If needed, use the Calibration Procedures on page 4.
D. DATA HOLD
1. Press the HOLD button (5) during measurement to freeze the displayed
measurement. “HOLD” and the measurement are displayed.
2. Press the HOLD button (5) again to exit this function.
E. DATA RECORD (Display the Maximum / Minimum Measurements)
1. With the meter on, press the REC button (6) once. “REC” and the current
measurement are displayed.
2. Press the REC button (6) again. “REC Max” and the maximum recorded
measurement are displayed.
3. Press the REC button (6) again. “REC Min” and the minimum recorded
measurement are displayed.
4. To exit this function, press and hold the REC button (6) for at least 2
seconds. The display reverts to the current reading.
F. RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
1. Press the REL button (4) during measurement to store the current reading
into memory. “REL” and a zero value appears on the LCD.
2. Subsequent readings will be measured and only the di󰀨erence (higher or
lower) will be displayed.
3. Press the REL button (4) again to cancel this function.
4. Example: An IR measurement of 75°F was stored in memory by pressing
the REL button. The meter is then aimed at an object that’s temperature is
55°F. “REL” and “- 20°F” will be displayed.

G. LCD BACK LIGHT
Press the BACK LIGHT >2SR button (5) for at least 2 seconds. The LCD
will light for approximately 10 seconds, then turn o󰀨.
H. AUTO POWER OFF
If no buttons are pushed for approximately 10 minutes, the meter will
automatically turn o󰀨. To disable this feature, select the Data Record function
(page 5) by pressing the REC button (6). “REC” will be displayed.
I. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Accurate thermometer readings may be taken for several hours
after the low battery indicator is displayed. Open the battery cover,
install a fresh 9V battery and replace the cover.
