Do not use force when plugging in the battery.
• Replace the cover of the battery compartment again and secure it with the previously
loosened screw.
10. Operation
a) Function
• Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The sensor of
thedeviceanalysestheemittedandreectedheatradiationoftheobjectmeasured, and
converts this information into a temperature value.
• Emissivity is used to describe the energy emission characteristics of a material. The higher
the emission level, the more radiation a material can emit.
• Many organic materials and surfaces have an emission level of approx. 0.95.
• Metallic surfaces or shiny materials have low emissivity. This results in imprecise measuring
values. For this reason, the emission level can be set.
b) Measuring
• Point the measuring hole, preferably at a 90° angle, at the object to be measured. Make sure
the object to be measured is not smaller than the IR measuring spot of the device.
• Press and hold the measuring button. The measuring value is indicated on the display. The
displayed measurement value corresponds to the average surface temperature of the IR
measuring spot. During measurement, the SCAN indicator is shown on the display.
• After releasing the measuring button, the last measured value will be displayed for approx.
8 seconds for improved readability. The HOLD indicator also appears.
• About 8 seconds after releasing the measuring button, the device turns off automatically.
• Horizontal bars appear on the display if the temperature range is exceeded.
29

To determine the hottest spot on the measured object you have to scan the object,
withthemeasuringbuttonhelddown,inazigzagmotionuntilyoundthehottestspot.
When the MAX temperature function is active, the highest measured temperature
appears at the top of the display during measurement.
In order to obtain exact measured values, the infrared thermometer has to be adjusted
to the ambient temperature. Allow the device to adjust to the ambient temperature
after relocation.
Shiny surfaces affect the measured result. To compensate, the shiny part of the
surface can be covered with adhesive tape or matt black paint.
The device cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as e.g. glass. Instead,
it measures the surface temperature of the glass.
Prolonged measurement of high temperatures at near measuring distances leads to
self-heating of the measuring device and thus to inaccurate measurements. In order to
obtain exact measured values, remember the following rule of thumb: The higher the
temperature, the greater the measuring distance and the shorter the measuring time.
c) IR measuring spot size - Ratio measuring distance:measuring
surface
• In order to obtain precise measuring results, the measured object must be larger than the IR
measuring spot. The measured temperature is calculated using the average temperature of
the measured area. The smaller the object, the closer it must be to the thermometer.
• The exact size of the measuring spot is shown in the following diagram. It is also indicated on
the thermometer. To ensure precise measurements, the measured object should be at least
twice the size of the measuring spot.
Distance : Spot = 16:1
8in@200mm 16in@400mm
[email protected] 1in@25mm
D
S
30

The optimal measuring distance for this infrared thermometer is the focal point of
both target lasers as this affords the greatest measuring accuracy. The size of the
measuring spot at the focal point is 12.5 mm.
• The smallest measurement diameter is achieved up to a distance of 20 cm. The measurement
diameteris12.5mm.However,keepsufcientdistancetoavoidfaultymeasurementdueto
heating of the IR thermometer.
• Example: At a distance of 2 m, the measurement diameter is 125 mm.
d) Dual target laser
• The dual target laser can be activated and deactivated. Press and hold the backlight/laser
button.
• When the laser is activate, the laser symbol appears on the display.
• Press the backlight/laser button again to deactivate the target laser. The laser symbol
disappears.
• The target laser is constructed in dual design and marks the inner, approximate edge area of
themeasuringsurface(approx.90%).
• When both laser spots meet, the smallest measuring surface has been achieved. The latter
has a diameter of 12.5 mm
• With larger distances, the two laser spots move apart, analogue to the measuring surface.
e) Backlight
When the device is on, press the backlight/laser button to turn the display backlight on/off.
f) Max., min., differential and average measuring function
• When the measuring button is released, the last measured value is frozen on the display. The
standby indicator HOLD lights up on the display.
• Repeatedly press the MODE button. One of the following indicators and the associated
measured value appears on the display:
MAX: the highest measured value of the last measurement
MIN: the lowest measured value of the last measurement
AVG: Average value of the last measurement
DIF: Difference between highest and lowest measured value of the last measurement
31

g) Bar graph
• The bar graph can be used to graphically display the current measured value in relation to
the MIN/MAX values. The left end represents the MIN value of the current measurement, the
right end the MAX value.
• Example: The MIN value is 0 °C and the MAX value +100 °C. The current measurement is
+50°C.Inthiscasethebargraphdeectstothemiddleofthedisplay.
11. Settings
