How it Works

Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an
object. The unit's optics sense emitted (E), reflected (R), and
transmitted (T) energy, which is collected and focused onto a
detector. The unit's electronics translate the information into a
temperature reading which is displayed on the unit.

How to Operate the Unit

C/F and Battery

Pull open the unit's handle using the finger indents near the
trigger to access the C/F switch or to insert/remove the battery.
To toggle between °C and °F, push the switch (A). Insert the 9v
battery positive side first into the battery compartment.
The battery door is detachable.

Operating the Unit

To measure a temperature, point unit at object and pull the
trigger. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and field
of view. If the unit is equipped with a laser, use the laser only for
aiming. See How to Accurately Measure Temperatures.

Display

The backlit LCD displays the current temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit. The unit will hold the reading for 7 seconds after
trigger is released; the word HOLD appears. The presence of the
battery icon indicates a low battery (B).

How to Accurately Measure Temperature

Locating a Hot Spot

To find a hot spot aim the thermometer outside the area of
interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you
locate the hot spot.
