Surface Temperature Measurement
NOTE: The ThermoPro TP30 cannot
measure the temperature of objects
behind glass. Inaccuracy may also
occur when exposed to steam, dust or
any other contaminants in the air.
1. Once the batteries are properly
installed, press the Measurement
Trigger to activate the device.
2. Point the TP30 towards the surface
you wish to measure.
3. Press and hold the Measurement
Trigger and the laser will activate for
aiming guidance. (Laser will only
appear if turned on. Laser is turned
on by default.)
4. Keep holding the Measurement
Trigger as you move the TP30 if you
wish to continually take a measure-
ment of the surface.
5. Once the laser is pointed to the
desired point of measurement, release
the Measurement Trigger and the
Upper Display will show the last

batteries are running low. Immediately
replace the batteries when the icon

1. Open the Battery Compartment and
remove the used batteries. Dispose
of the used batteries properly.
2. Insert two new AAA batteries with
the correct polarity.
3. Close the Battery Compartment.
Distance-Spot Ratio
The ThermoPro TP30 measures surface
temperature on the basis of distance to
spot diameter ratio (D: S). As the
distance between the thermometer and
the surface increases, the total surface
area measured will also increase. With
a distance to spot ratio of 12: 1 the
surface area measured has a diameter
of roughly 1/12 the distance.
6. Press the Measurement Trigger once
again to make another measurement.

To take accurate temperature measure-
ment of reflective surfaces with low
emissivity, place a strip of masking
tape over the surface and allow for it to
adjust to the temperature of the surface
for approximately 30 minutes. Measure
the surface, scanning the taped section,
eliminating the issue of inaccuracy.
Emissivity
The emissivity of a material is its
efficiency in emitting thermal energy.
Non-reflective surfaces have a higher
emissivity (closer to 1) than reflective
surfaces (closer to 0). Inaccurate
results may occur when measuring
reflective surfaces such as glass,
polished wood, and granite.
The emissivity of most organic
For the most accurate results, make
sure the target has a surface area of
twice the corresponding spot diameter.
Insufficient surface area will result in
inaccurate results. The recommended
distance to hold the thermometer from
the surface of measurement is 7.87inch
(20cm). This creates a spot
measurement area of 0.66inch(1.67cm)
in diameter.

Safe Use & Care
DO NOT point the laser beam at
another person or animal.
DO NOT attempt to point laser beam
at an aircraft.
Avoid direct/indirect eye contact with
the laser-beam. Laser radiation may
cause eye damage.
DO NOT view the beam with optical
instruments.
If using near bystanders, make them
aware of the dangers of looking
directly into the laser beam.

Make sure to insert the batteries in
accordance with the correct polarities.
DO NOT allow children to operate the
device.
Use two 1.5V AAA batteries when
replacing the batteries within the
device.
ALWAYS remove the batteries when
cleaning the device.

DO NOT use leaking batteries or
dispose of old batteries in fire.
Remove the batteries if storing the
device for a prolonged period of time.
DO NOT disassemble the device or
tamper with internal components.
Doing so will void any warranty.
DO NOT touch the lens or wipe it
using anything other than a soft cloth
or cotton swab.
Keep the thermometer away from
electromagnetic fields produced by
objects such as arc welders and
induction heaters.
DO NOT expose the thermometer to
direct sources of heat for extended
periods of time.
The thermometer measures surface
temperature, not internal temperature.
Do not use it as a reliable source to
measure body temperatures.
