NCIT100 Hawkeye Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
Instruction Manual
Overview
The Hawkeye Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer is designed for
fast and accurate body temperature measurements, without
physical contact. That makes it ideal for mass temperature
screening and monitoring of individuals at workplaces, public
events and social gatherings.
Device Components
A: LCD backlit screen
B: Infrared sensor
C: Measurement Trigger
D: Battery compartment
Display Screen
A: Low battery indicator
B: °F indicator
C: °C indicator
D: Temperature readout
E: Scan mode indicator
F: Data hold indicator
Operating Instructions
To change the measurement unit, open the battery compartment
and move the switch inside the compartment to °F or °C position.
To install the batteries, open the battery
compartment, install 2 “AAA” batteries according to
the instruction sticker, and then close the
compartment door until it snaps shut.
To take a temperature measurement:
1. Aim the infrared thermometer (NCIT) at the center of the
forehead and keep the NCIT perpendicular to the target
surface. The distance between the NCIT and the forehead
should be between 0.4 and 1.1 inches.
2. Press and release the trigger. Dashed lines will appear on
the screen with the word “SCAN” underneath them.
3. Do not move the NCIT from this position until the reading
appears on screen. A reading should appear in under 2
seconds with the word “HOLD” underneath it.
4. Depending on the reading, the screen color will change to
either green, yellow or red and the unit will beep one, two,
or three times respectively to alert the user to elevated
temperatures.
a. 98.9°F (37.2°C) and lower, Green & 1 beep
b. 99.0° to 100.3°F (37.3° to 37.9°C), Yellow &
2 beeps
c. 100.4°F (38°C) and greater, Red & 3 beeps
5. Repeat this process for each temperature measurement.
When taking multiple temperatures in a row, if the screen
seems to be stuck on the last reading wait a few seconds
and press the trigger again. This should initiate scanning.
Operation Notes
1. The NCIT100 provides an oral equivalent temperature based
on a forehead skin measurement. External sources, such as
extreme ambient temperatures or physical activity, can
skew the readings. Keep both the NCIT and the subject in
the same ambient environment for at least 30 minutes to
stabilize the device before testing. Multiple readings may be
necessary to determine an accurate body temperature
reference.
2. Make sure the forehead is not covered by anything. Hats,
hair, sweat, or other obstructions can make the reading less
accurate. Any obstructions should be removed, and the user
should wait at least 10 minutes to take the subject’s
temperature.
3. Keep the device away from electro-magnetic fields and
electrostatic areas.
4. This device should be used only for screening purposes, and
not to diagnose any medical conditions.

Troubleshooting
Safety and Maintenance
1. Clean the infrared sensor lens often with compressed air or
a moist cotton cloth. Never use a solvent or an abrasive
cleaner.
2. The exterior housing (plastic parts only) can be cleaned with
soap and water on a damp sponge or disinfectant wipe. Do
not submerge the device or let water get into the interior.
3. Remove the batteries when cleaning the device.
4. Remove the batteries before long term storage.
5. Do not operate the NCIT100 in explosive environments
containing flammable liquids, gases or dust.
6. Please dispose of the batteries properly according to your
local regulations for battery disposal.
7. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
8. Do not modify the device in any way.
