WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Class II Laser

• Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent eye injuries. NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this instrument.

• Do not use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.

• Do not modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in emission of hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe and permanent eye injuries

• Do not use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes, etc. to transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.

• This product should not be used in any location that could result in somebody looking at or having their eyes inadvertently irradiated by the laser beam as this could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.

• This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who have not read and fully understood the instructions.

• Do not remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result in serious personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous laser irradiation

• Discontinue using the instrument immediately if it is acting abnormally.

• Be cautious of infrared temperature measurements of reflective materials as the instrument may indicate that these surfaces are cooler than their actual temperature (see Emissivity section).

• Do not apply voltage to the K-type thermocouple probe.

• This instrument is IP54 dust & water resistant. Following any contact with water, thoroughly dry the instrument with a dry, lint-free cloth

• There are no user serviceable parts in this instrument. SAFE PRACTICES This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable dangers beyond its targeting lasers; the objects being measured, as well as the environment in which they reside, can be hazardous. Common safety practices to follow when operating near temperature critical environments are:

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance procedures when servicing equipment

• Before using this meter to determine if an area is safe, verify correct operation by measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object6 ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TARGETING LASERS The IR10 features dual lasers

to assist in targeting the measurement area. The distance between the two laser spots on the surface of the object being measured approximates the diameter of the circular measurement area from which the infrared sensor is collecting data. Measurement areas located far away from the meter will be larger than those close to the meter. Press and hold the SET button

to activate/deactivate the targeting lasers

will appear on the display

. NOTE: Lasers are automatically disabled when measuring using the K-type probe

The meter is configured with 20:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement area relative to the distance between the measurement location and the IR sensor

. Typical diameters of the measurement area as a function of the distance between the meter and the target area are depicted below for 20:1 optical systems (Fig. 1).

By default, IR10 measures temperature by sensing IR emission

from surfaces. Pull the trigger

and aim the targeting lasers

at the object to be measured to initiate a measurement event. The meter will continue to sample while the trigger is held depressed. Releasing the trigger ends the measurement event. The results are held on the display for 15 seconds and in the absence of other activity, the meter automatically powers off (APO).

K-TYPE PROBE MEASUREMENTS

K-type probe measurements are active whenever the probe is inserted into the K-Type Probe Jack

. K-Type will be illuminated on the display

and the IR measurement functions will be disabled. Pull and release the trigger to initiate a measurement event. A subsequent pull of the trigger ends the measurement event. If a measurement event is not ended via a trigger pull, it times out and ends automatically after 10mins. At the end of the measurement event, the results are held on the display

for 15 seconds and in the absence of other activity, the meter automatically powers off (APO).7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DATA HOLD Data is held on the display for 15 seconds following the end of any measurement event. HOLD

appears on the display. AUTO POWER-OFF (APO) At the end of any measurement event, the meter automatically powers off after 15 seconds of inactivity. BACKLIGHT Press and hold the MODE button

to activate / deactivate the backlight. STATISTICS MIN / MAX / AVG /DIFF statistical parameters are specific to the current or most recent measurement event. Following the end of measurement event, before auto power-off occurs, subsequent presses of the MODE button

may be used to toggle through the parameters. SETTINGS Settings are accessed by pushing the SET button

when the meter is in HOLD status. Subsequent pushes of the SET button toggle through the various settings options. The settings menu may be exited at any time by pulling the trigger

or by toggling through all available options.

• EMISSIVITY: Emissivity may be set by using the UP/DOWN buttons

This setting is not available if the K-type probe is inserted into the meter

to switch between Fahrenheit and Celcius temperature scales. The meter will remain in the scale selected following power on/off cycles

• HI: High temperature alarm. Press MODE

to turn on/off the high temperature alarm. Use the UP/DOWN buttons

to set the temperature threshold above which the user will be alerted

• LO: Low temperature alarm. Press MODE

to turn on/off the low temperature alarm. Use the UP/DOWN buttons

to set the temperature threshold below which the user will be alerted

• AUDIBLE ALARMS: Press MODE

to turn on/off audible alerts for Hi/Lo temperature alarms. Note the on/off indicator on the bottom left of the display. When audible alarms are off the mute icon

will be visible in the display. Visual alerts are always on and are indicated by flashing Hi/Lo icons on the display when the measurement is above/below the temperature thresholds.

to turn on/off the trig function. When trig is turned on the meter will automatically APO if the trigger is held depressed for more than 10mins when measuring using IR. This setting is not available if the K-type probe is inserted into the meter.8 ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UNDERSTANDING EMISSIVITY Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal energy by radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry, wood, etc.) emit thermal energy through radiation at different efficiencies. Accordingly, these materials have different emissivity coefficients which must be considered in order to make accurate measurements with an infrared thermometer. Emissivity on the IR10 may be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.00 to enable accurate measurement of the temperature of most types of materials. Generally speaking, shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity than flat black materials. For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as surface finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc. This chart should be used for guidance only.
