OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Push buttons
Display Back-Light Button
Release MEAS button then press " " button to toggle between turn on and turn
off the Back-Light. When releasing MEAS button Back-Light will turn off auto-
matically after 15 seconds to extend battery life.
MEAS (MEASURE) Button
Depress MEAS button to turn on the meter for measuring temperature. Releasing
MEAS button to stop measuring temperature and automatically hold the display
reading, the meter turns off automatically after 15 seconds.

OPERATION
1. When the power is off, pressing the MEAS button turns on the power.
2. Use " " button to select turn on or turn off the display Back-Light.
3. Use "°F/°C" button to select °F or °C the Temperature Range.
4. Point the lens at the object whose temperature is to be measured.
5. Press the MEAS button. Measurement is performed as long as the MEAS
button is kept pressed.
6. Referring to the spot size figure, aim the laser beam at the object whose
temperature is to be measured.
NOTE: Although the field of measurement (or Field of View) and the spot almost
coincide, actually the field of measurement corresponds to the diameter for
90% optical response. The object whose temperature is to be measured needs
to be larger than the measurement diameter (spot of size) by an adequate
margin at least 1.5 to 2 times larger.
7. Read the diaplay.

MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS
1. Theory of Measurement
Every object emits infrared energy in accordance with its temperature. By
measuring the amount of this radiant energy, it is possible to determine the
temperature of the emitting object.
2. About Infrared
Infrared radiation is a form of light (electromagnectic radiation), and has the
property that it, passes easily through air while it is easily absorbed by solid
matter. With an emission thermometer which operates by detecting infrared
radiation accurate measurement is possible, irrespective of the air tempera-
ture or the measurement distance.
3. Emission Thermometer Structure
Infrared radiation which has been emitted from the object is focused upon an
infrared radiation sensor, via an optical system which includes a lens is
transparent to infrared rediation, an 5.3µm cut off filter. The output signal from
the infrared radiation sensor is input to an electronic circuit along with the
output signal from a standard tempeature sensor (Thermopile).
8
4. Emissivity
All objects emit invisible infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is
proportional to the object's temperature and its ability to emit IR energy. This
ability, called emissivity, is based upon the material that the object is made of
and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.10 for a very reflective
object to 1.00 for a black body. Factory set emissivity value of 0.95, which
cover 90% of typical applications.
5. If the surface to the measured is covered by frost or other material, clean it to
expose the surface.
6. If the surface to be measured is highly reflective, apply masking tape or matt
finish black paint to the surface.
7. If the meter seems to be giving incorrect readings check the front cone. There
may be condensation or debris obstructing the sensor; clean per instructions
in the maintenance section.
