This infrared thermometer is used for measuring the tem-

perature of the object's surface, which is applicable for va-

rious hot, hazardous or hard-toreach objects without contact

safe and quickly.

This unit consist of Optics, Temperature Sensor Signal

amplifier, Processing circuit and LCD Display. The Optics

collected the infrared energy emitted by object and focus onto

the Sensor. Then the sensor translates the energy into an

electricity signal. This signal will be turned out to be digital

shown on the LCD after the signal amplifier and processing

circuit.

1. Warning:

To avoid the potential situation may cause harm or dam-

age to people, please pay attention to the following items:

1) . Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflec-

tive surfaces.

2) . The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces

such as glass or plastic. It will measure the surface tem-

perature of these materials instead.

3) . Steam, dust, smoke, or other particles can prevent acc-

urate measurement by obstructing by the units optics.

2. Cautions:

Infrared thermometer should be protected for the

following:

1). EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders,

induction heaters.

2). Thermal shock (cause by large or abrupt ambient

temperature changes allow 30 minutes for unit to

stabilize before use).

3). Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high

temperature.

Emissivity: Most organic materials and painted or

oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95(preset in

the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring

shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate for this,

adjust the units emissivity reading or cover the surface to

be measured with masking tape or flat black paint.

Measure the tape or painted surface when the tape or

painted reach the same temperature as the material

underneath.

1. When take measurement, pay attention to the Distance

to Spot Size. As the Distance (D) from the target surface

increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the

unit becomes larger.

The Distance to Spot size of the unit is 12:1.

This unit is equipped with a laser, which is used for aiming.

2. Field of view:

Make sure the target is larger than the unit's spot size.

The smaller the target the closer measure distance.

When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least

twice as large as the spot size.

1. Operating the unit：

1). Open the battery door and insert a 9V battery properly.；

2). Pull the trigger to turn on the unit;

3). Aim at the target surface and pull the trigger, then temp-

erature will be shown on the LCD.

This unit is equipped with a laser, which is only used for

aiming.

2. Locating a Hot Spot：

To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside of interest,

then scan across with an up and down motion until you

locate the hot spot. (Figure 1)

(1) Trigger: When turn on LCD display VERXX software

version for 1 sec. And turn to display reading with

SCAN icon. Release the trigger, display reading with

HOLD icon. Built in auto power off in 7sec.

(2) Laser / back light button: when back light turn on ,

any operations will remain back light for 10 sec. LCD

indicate on/off status.

(3)—(6) key functions: press 3 key, LCD subdisplay

blinks MAX-MIN-DIF-AVG-HAL-LAL-STO-EMS seg-

ment(only main display means normal measuring

mode) press 4 key to enter.

a. MAX: measuring maximum temperature

b. MIN: measuring minimum temperature

c. DIF: Basic on the reading before press 4 key,

compute the difference of current reading.

d. AVG: measuring average temperature

e. HAL: high temperature alarm--when selected HAL,

press 5 keys to set high temperature alarm trigger

and confirmed by pressing 4 key. When reading over

trigger, LCD display HI icon with BiBi audio sounds.

f. LAL: low temperature alarm--when selected LAL,

press 5 keys to set low temperature alarm trigger and

confirmed by pressing 4 key.

When reading over trigger, LCD display LOW icon

with BiBi audio sounds

g. STO: data storage--when selected STO, lock & DATA

& 1---indicator will shown when press 4 key. After

temperature read out press 6 key to store, then 2---

memory unit will be shown. There 30 groups memory

unit available. To recall the stored data in normal

measuring mode by pressing 6 key, remove all data

by pressing 6 keys for 3 seconds.

H. EMS: Emissivity setup-- press 5 key for emissivity

settings, press 4 key to save setup and back to

normal status.

(7) Clesius / Fahrenheit switch: Please open battery

and push the slide switch for convertsion.

1. Lens Cleaning:

Blow off loose particles using clean compressed

air. Gently brush remaining debris away with a

moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened

with water.

2. Case cleaning: Clean the case with a damp spo-

nge/cloth and mild soap.

Note:

1) Do not use solvent to clean plastic lens.

2) Do not submerge the unit in water.
