HT3301-HT3310 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES This instrument complies with EMC standards related to electronic measuring equipment. For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument follow the procedures described in this instruction manual and read carefully all notes preceded by this symbol . The following symbol is used in this manual: CAUTION When this symbol is displayed, the meter is radiating the laser. Always prevent the laser from radiating to your eyes.
HT3301-HT3310 1.2. DURING USE Read carefully the following recommendations and instructions: CAUTION • • • • • • • • Be careful not activate the trigger if the symbol is displayed and the laser output is turned in your direction. A pressure on the trigger activates the laser. Always prevent the laser from radiating to your eyes. If the object under test has a smooth surface reflecting the laser, prevent the laser from radiating to our eyes.
HT3301-HT3310 3. PREPARATION TO USE 3.1. INITIAL CONTROL This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. Notwithstanding we suggest you to check it rapidly (eventual damages may have occurred during transport. Make sure that all standard accessories mentioned in paragraph 9.3 are included. Should you have to return back the instrument for any reason please follow the instructions mentioned in paragraph 10.1 3.2.

HT3301-HT3310 5. PARAMETERS SETTINGS 5.1. EMISSIVITY ADJUSTMENT 5.1.1. Definition Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cove the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint.

HT3301-HT3310 6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6.1. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT 6.1.1. Infrared measurement mode 1. Select the desired additional parameter displayed according to paragraph 4.4.1 2. Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it toward the surface to be measured 3. Pull and hold the trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light.
HT3301-HT3310 6.1.2. Type K measurement mode (HT3301 only) 1. Pressing the MODE button, select the “TK” symbol according to paragraph 4.4.1 2. Disable laser beam using the Laser/Backlight key 3. Connect the K Type probe to the corresponding inputs respecting the polarity marked in the socket and in the plug. 4. Pull and hold the trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light.
HT3301-HT3310 8. MAINTENANCE 8.1. GENERAL 1. This meter is a precision instrument. Whether in use or in storage, please do not exceed the specifications to avoid any possible damage or danger during use 2. Do not keep this meter at high temperatures and/or humidity or expose to direct sunlight 3. Be sure to turn the meter off after use. For long term storage, remove the battery to avoid leakage of battery fluid that can damage the internal components 8.2.
