1. Before you use this product
• Please make sure you read the instruction manual carefully.
• Following and respecting the instructions in your manual will prevent damage to your
instrument and loss of your statutory rights arising from defects due to incorrect use.
• We shall not be liable for any damage occurring as a result of non-following of these
instructions. Likewise, we take no responsibility for any incorrect readings or for any
consequences resulting from them.
• Please pay particular attention to the safety notices!
• Please keep this instruction manual safe for future reference.
2. Field of operation and all the benefits of your new instrument at a glance
• For contact-free measuring of surface temperature even of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-
reach objects.
3. For your safety
• This product is exclusively intended for the field of application described above. It should
only be used as described within these instructions.
• Unauthorized repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited and might
result in dangerous laser radiation.
• The product is not recommended for taking body temperature.
Caution!
Risk of injury
• The product is equipped with a class 2M laser. If the sign on the device is not written in the
language of your country, please affix the sign below onto the device.
• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled
reflected beam may strike people or animals.
• Do not aim too close at hot or dangerous targets.
• Keep this instrument and the batteries out of the reach of children.
• Small parts can be swallowed by children (under three years old).
• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swal-
lowed, this can lead to serious internal burns and death within two hours. If you suspect a
battery could have been swallowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help
immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of
explosion!
• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leak-
ing.
• Never use a combination of old and new batteries together, nor batteries of different types.
• Make sure the polarities are correct. Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for
an extended period of time.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes when handling leaking batteries. In
case of contact, immediately rinse the affected areas with water and consult a doctor.
Important information on product safety!
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks.
• Protect the unit from large or abrupt ambient temperature changes.
• Do not leave the unit near objects of high temperature.
• Do not immerse the unit in water. Water can penetrate and cause malfunction. Protect it
from moisture.
• Check the housing before using the device. Do not use the device if it seems to be dam-
aged. Check for cracks or missing plastic parts.
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s
optics.
EMC/RFI
• Protect the unit from EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) from induction heaters and
microwave ovens and Electro Static Discharge. Readings may be affected if the unit is
operated within a radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts
per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.
4. Use
• Press and hold the measuring button to activate the measuring process.
• The backlight is automatically activated.
• The circular laser allows you to target the center of the area to be measured.
• Release the measuring button.
• On the display appear HOLD and the latest measured temperature for about 15 seconds.
• The maximum value (MAX appears on the display) will be displayed during the measure-
ment.
• Press the °C/°F button and you can change between Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as tem-
perature unit.
• When the instrument is not used, it will automatically switch off after 15 seconds.
5. Distance, Spot Size, and Field of View
• As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the
unit becomes larger a ratio D:S = 12:1 (e.g. 120 cm distance = 10 cm spot size). To get the
most accurate temperature reading, aim at the target as near as possible.
• Should the distance be too great, there is a risk that the temperature has also been taken
outside the aimed target.
• The circular laser helps to aim at the exact area to be measured. The laser circle and the
measuring spot are congruent at a distance of 2 m.
Please take note of the following:
• Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel,
aluminum, etc.).
• The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass or plastic. It will
measure the surface temperature of the glass instead.
6. Care and maintenance
• The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Please protect the sensor
part from dirt.
• Clean your instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if you do not use the product for a long period of time.
6.1 Battery replacement
• The battery symbol appears permanently on the display.
full half-full empty
• Change the batteries when the battery symbol appears on the display.
• Confirm the unit is power off before changing battery.
• The battery compartment is in the inside of the handle. Slide down the battery compart-
ment lid. Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA. Ensure that the battery polarity is correct.
• Close the battery compartment again. The cover is properly inserted in the housing, as
soon as a click is heard.
