Frequently Asked Questions - IR 1300 PCE Instruments
How do I measure temperature with the IR 1300?
Aim the thermometer at the target surface, hold the trigger, and the temperature will appear on the LCD. Keep a distance according to the 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio for accurate readings.
What does emissivity mean and how do I set it?
Emissivity is a measure of a material's ability to emit thermal radiation. Different surfaces have different emissivity values. The IR 1300 allows adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 to match the surface being measured.
Is the laser safe for eyes?
The IR 1300 uses a Class II laser. Avoid direct eye exposure. Never aim the laser at eyes or reflective surfaces that could reflect the beam back at your eyes.
Can the IR 1300 measure through glass or plastic?
No. Infrared thermometers measure surface temperature and cannot measure through transparent materials like glass or plastic. The laser is only for targeting.
What is the maximum distance for a reliable reading?
With a 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio, the IR 1300 can measure from farther distances. For example, at a distance of 500 mm, the measurement spot size is about 10 mm.
How do I replace the battery?
Turn off the thermometer, slide the battery compartment cover off, remove the old 9V battery, and connect a new 9V battery. Ensure correct polarity before closing the cover.
Why is my reading inconsistent or unstable?
Inconsistent readings can be caused by varying emissivity, moving targets, steam, dust, or measuring shiny surfaces. Clean the lens, adjust emissivity, and ensure the target fills the measurement spot.
What maintenance does the thermomètre require?
Keep the lens clean and free of dust. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab to gently clean the lens. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the device in water or use solvents.
Does the thermometer have auto power off?
Yes, the IR 1300 automatically powers off after about 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
How accurate is the IR 1300?
The IR 1300 has an accuracy of ±1.5% of reading or ±1.5°C, whichever is greater. This applies within the specified temperature range under stable conditions.
