TN4 series Thermometer Operating Instructions
Model: TN408XC, TN408LC (with Laser).
The TN4 series thermometer is a non-contact
infrared thermometer. There are many
mathematical modes for the Infrared function.
Please remember to keep away from children and
don’t use it for safety related applications.
(Default Screen)
Simply aim the TN4 at the measure target
with Lens () and press Meas. key () to
display the surface temperature.
The Distance: Spot is 12:1. Please make sure the target area is within the field of view.
FUNCTION
Press Emissivity key () for setting the emissivity.
Press Emissivity key () and Press Up key () or Down key () to set the emissivity, then press
Mode key () to confirm it. The emissivity can be changed from 0.10 (10E) to 1 (100E).
Press Mode key () for scrolling more display function as follows.
Here will show the emissivity data. (The default emissivity is 0.95.)
Press Mode key () for the Maximum (MAX), Minimum (MIN), Different between MAX and
MIN (DIF) and Average (AVG) modes. During the measurement, the special modes
reading will be displayed beside the mode icon.
Press Up key ()& Down key () key to change the High Alarm (HAL) or Lo Alarm (LAL), then
press Meas. key () to confirm it. For example: When the reading 27 oC< LAL 27.1 o C, the Low
icon will flash and you will hear a beep sound.
Connect the thermocouple with TN4’s Thermocouple socket () and put the probe in the target,
press Meas. key () display the temperature in PRB mode. This mode can only be reference
when Thermocouple (Probe) is connected with. After measure high temp, the probe may
remain HOT for a while.
** TN4 thermometer will automatically shut off if left idle for more than 15sec, unless in PRB mode. (In PRB
mode, it will shut off if left idle for more than 12 minutes.)
ADD VALUE
In MAX, MIN,
DIF, AVG, PRG
mode:
Press Up key ()for LOCK mode ON/OFF. The lock mode is particularly useful for
continuous monitoring of temperatures for up to 60 minutes.
Press Down key () for oC or oF transferred.
In all modes:
First hold on the
Meas. key ()
and press Up key ()for backlight function
ON/OFF.
and press Down key () for laser function ON/OFF. (only for model
TH408LC.)

CAUTION
WHEN DEVICE IS IN USE, DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM–PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY
RESULT.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THE LASER.
NEVER POINT THE DEVICE TOWARDS ANYONE’S EYES.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF ALL CHILDREN.
STORAGE & CLEANING
The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the TN4 thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all times,
care should be taken when cleaning the lens using only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or medical
alcohol. Allowing the lens to fully dry before using the TN4. Do not submerge any part of the TN4. The TN4
should be stored at room temperature between –20 to +65 oC.
LCD ERROR MESSAGES
The TN4 thermometer incorporates visual diagnostic messages as follows:
‘Hi’or ’Lo’is displayed when the temperature being measured is outside of the
settings of HAL and LAL.
For all other error messages it is necessary to reset the TN4. To reset the TN4,
turn the instrument off, remove the battery and wait for a minimum of one
minute, reinsert the battery and turn on. If the error message remains please
contact the Service Department for further assistance.
BATTERIES
The TN4 incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:
‘Battery OK’: measurements
are possible
‘Battery Low’: battery needs to be
replaced, measurements are still possible
‘Battery Exhausted’:
measurements are not possible
When the ‘Low Battery’icon indicates the battery is low, the battery should be replaced immediately with AAA, 1.5V
batteries. Please note: It is important to turn the instrumentoff before replacing the battery otherwise the TN4 may
malfunction.
Dispose of used battery promptly and keep away from children.
