sensor type K to the sensor
connection of the measuring
device
The status indicator is displayed on the screen (TK).
The lower measurement value does not display
any temperature values from the external sensor
when the memory function is active (see chapter 10.2.6).
Fields of application
for the contact sensor type K:
For one, it is highly suited for determining the exact sur-
face temperature of objects free of any reflections which
could possibly distort the results.

The measurement value from
the external sensor can now
be seen on the lower func-
tional display value in active
display mode (SCAN),
whereas the central measur-
ing display still shows the IR
temperature measured at that
particular point in time.
Operating manual – English
In addition, the sensor is capable of "calibrating" the
measuring device of surface materials with an unknown
degree of emission. In order to do so, the degree of emis-
sion must be adjusted until the IR temperature of the sur-
face in question is identical with the displayed contact tem-
perature (TK).
Furthermore, combined measuring of the IR temperature
and contact temperature can be used to check the insu-
lation properties of diverse objects, e.g. heating or cooling
canal insulation. The contact sensor is placed directly un-
der the insulation while the IR measurement is carried out
simultaneously on the outside of the insulating material.
The lower the span between the two temperature values,
the worse the insulation properties of the tested object.
Besides the features already described, the contact sen-
sor can also be used for swift measurement of the ambi-
ent air or the air temperature in ventilation canals.

12. Using the USB connection

The measuring device is equipped with a USB connection
which allows it to be connected to a PC. The USB cable that
is required in this case is included in the scope of delivery.
How to connect your measuring device
to your computer:
1. Open the flap on the side of the measuring device.
2. Connect the 5-pin miniature connecter plug
at the end of the USB cable included in
the scope of delivery to the USB port of
the measuring device.
3. Connect plug A of the included USB cable
to the USB port of your PC.
The connection between the measuring device
and your PC has now been established.
The PC now acts as a power supply and feeds the com-
puter with electricity via the USB port, thus conserving bat-
tery power. The measuring device can even be operated
without having to insert any batteries at all when con-
nected to the computer via this means.
Activating and deactivating the USB function:
The measuring device is equipped with an active USB
function for data transference and serial measurement
recording of the latest measurement values using record-
ing software that has previously been installed on the PC.
