Measuring the temperature ♦ Press the measuring button and point the laser dot on the spot to be measured. Whilst the measuring button is pressed, the temperature is measured and in the display “SCAN” is shown. After releasing the measuring button the last measured temperature is indicated on the display and the laser dot is switched off . To obtain the most accurate measurement, please note the following: ■ The determined temperature is the average temperature of the measured area. These increases in the ratio of 8:1, the further away the appliance is from the object being measured. D = Distance, S = Surface ■ The target object must be greater than the measuring surface of the appliance. The smaller the target object is, the less the distance between appliance and target object must be. ■ Select the smallest possible distance to the surface being measured. IB_100042_PTSI9A1_LB3.indb 9 12.05.14 14:0810 PTSI 9 A1

■ Aim the appliance as perpendicularly as possible to the surface being measured. ■ Do not measure in dusty, smoky or steamy atmospheres. Do not measure through transparent materials, such as glass or plastics. ■ In the event of extreme temperature fl uctuations allow the appliance to adjust to the ambient climatic conditions for about 30 minutes before measuring. Indicating a temperature deviation A temperature deviation is the diff erence between a predetermined reference value and a measured temperature. The deviations are shown as fi gures and by using coloured indicator on the display. In addition, they will also be pointed out by an acoustic signal. Setting reference values ♦ Press the measuring button and point the laser dot on the spot to be referenced. The temperature is shown in the display

♦ Now press, while holding the measuring button , the button °C/°F/SET to accept the temperature value as a reference value. The reference temperature is shown in the display next to the indicator REF. Selection of the size of diff erence On the appliance you can now set at which temperature dif- ference (ΔT) the colour display and the acoustic signal should respond. ♦ Press, while the reference value is being shown in the dis- play , the button or the button to set the desired temperature diff erence (ΔT). OFF 0.5°C 1°F 3°C 5°F 5.5°C 10°F Lower temperature threshold = Reference temperature – ΔT Upper temperature threshold = Reference temperature + ΔT IB_100042_PTSI9A1_LB3.indb 10 12.05.14 14:0811 PTSI 9 A1

Scanning a temperature deviation ♦ Press the measuring button and point the laser dot on the spot to be measured. The temperature is shown in the display

♦ While scanning, hold the measuring button down and move the laser dot slowly and continuously over the surface to be measured. The temperature deviations between the reference and measurement values are presented as follows: Colour display Signal tone Result Red fast Upper temperature threshold exceeded Green not available Within the temperature threshold Blue slow Lower temperature threshold not reached Example of application For example, to check the penetration of cold air into an interior through a window, fi rst scan the temperature around the frame immediately adjacent to the closed window. Select the warmest part of the frame as a reference temperature and then, for example, a temperature diff erence of 3°C/5°F. Now scan again, evenly, all around the frame directly next to the window. A possible ingress of cold air of more than 3°K diff erence is indicated by the blue colour display and by a slow signal tone sequence. Battery indicator A battery icon appears in the display when the battery voltage is too low. ♦ Insert a new battery as described in the section “Inserting/ Replacing the battery”.
