Operating Instructions
1. Hold the meter by its Handle Grip and point it toward the surface to be measured.
2. Pull and hold the orange Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The temperature
reading, the ‘SCAN’ icon, the emissivity icon (E=0.95), and the unit of measure will appear.
Note: Replace the battery if the display does not light.
3. While continuing to pull the Trigger:
a. Push the laser button to turn on the laser pointer. When the laser is ON the laser icon
will appear on the LCD over the temperature reading. Aim the red beam approximately a half
inch above the point of test (pressing the laser button again turns the laser off).
b. Select the temperature units using the
o
C or
o
F button.
c. Push the backlight button to turn on the LCD backlighting function.
4. Release the Trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 6 seconds (HOLD will appear on
the LCD) and then the meter will automatically shut off.
Over-range Indicator
If the temperature measurement exceeds 538°C (1000°F), the thermometer will display dashes in
place of a temperature reading.
Field of View
The meter’s field of view is 8:1. For example, if the meter is 16 inches from the target (spot), the
diameter of the target must be at least 2 inches. Other distance ratios are shown below in the field
of view diagram.
Note that measurements should normally be made less than 2 feet from the target. The meter can
measure from further distances but the measurement may be affected by external sources of light.
In addition, the spot size may be so large that it encompasses surface areas not intended to be
measured.
