The serial number(7) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool. Assembly Inserting/changing the batteries It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool. To open the battery compartment cover(9), press the locking mechanism(10) and lift open the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure the polarity is correct according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment cover. The battery indicator(g) shows the state of charge of the batteries: Display Capacity 76%to100% 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 29 Display Capacity 51%to75% 26%to50% 15minto<25% maximum 15 min If the battery indicator(g) flashes with the empty battery symbol, the batteries must be replaced. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man- ufacturer and which have the same capacity. u Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a pro- longed period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during pro- longed storage in the measuring tool. Operation Starting operation u Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight. u Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambi- ent temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperat- ure. u Make sure that the measuring tool is correctly acclimatised. In case of large vari- ations in temperature, acclimatisation can take up to 30min, or up to 90min in ex- treme situations. This may be the case, for example, if you store the measuring tool in a cool car and then perform a measurement in a warm building. u Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. After severe external influ- ences and in the event of abnormalities in the functionality, you should have the measuring tool checked by an authorised Bosch after-sales service agent. u Do not close or cover the humidity and temperature sensor(4), the reception lens(3) or the laser outlet aperture(2). Switching on/off You can switch on the measuring tool by pressing the ON/OFF button/mode button (12) or the measure button (1). After a brief start sequence, the measuring tool is Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022)30 | English ready to use – always in surface temperature mode and with the emissivity that was saved when the tool was last switched off. No measurement is initiated at this stage and the laser is still switched off. After pressing the measure button (1), the measuring tool begins measuring. u Never leave the measuring tool unattended when switched on, and ensure the measuring tool is switched off after use. Others may be dazzled by the laser beam. u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). To switch off the measuring tool, press the ON/OFF button/mode button (12) for ap- prox. 2s. If no button on the measuring tool is pressed for approx. 5min, the measuring tool will automatically switch itself off to preserve battery life. Measurement preparations Changing the unit of temperature measurement To switch the unit of measurement between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press and hold the emissivity button (13) for approx. 3s. The current setting appears in the unit of temperature measurement (f) display. Emissivity for surface temperature measurements To determine the surface temperature, the tool performs a contactless measurement of the natural infrared thermal radiation emitted by the object at which the tool is aimed. To ensure correct measurement, the emissivity setting on the measuring tool must be checked before every measurement and adapted to the measuring object if necessary. To change the emissivity, press the emissivity button(13) repeatedly until the emissivity display (e) shows the required emissivity for the next measurement. Confirm your selec- tion by pressing the measure button(1) or with the ON/OFF button/mode button (12). 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 31 – High emissivity group (≈0.95): Concrete (dry), brick- work (red, rough), sandstone (rough), marble, plastic (PE, PP, PVC), rubber, anodised aluminium (mat), tiles, radiator paint, wood, mortar, roofing felt, wallpaper, ad- hesive tape, lacquer, plaster – Medium emissivity group (≈0.85): Granite, enamel, cast iron, fireclay, paving stones, textiles, linoleum, pa- per, fibreboard – Low emissivity group (≈0.75): Cork, porcelain (white), leather, natural stone – i: More information Scan the QR code for more information. u Temperature measurements will only be correct if the emissivity setting matches the emissivity of the object. Otherwise, object temperatures could be shown to be hotter or colder than they are, which may present a danger if touched. Measuring surface for surface temperature measurements The laser circle produced by the measuring tool indicates the measuring surface. The in- frared radiation of this measuring surface is then determined when performing a contact- less surface temperature measurement. The central laser point marks the centre of the measuring surface. For an optimum meas- urement reading, position the measuring tool so that the laser beam meets the measur- ing surface perpendicularly to this point. u Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself (even from a distance). Increasing the distance between the measuring tool and the object being measured in- creases the size of the laser circle and therefore the size of the area being measured. The optimum measuring distance is 0.75m to 1.25m. u Do not hold the measuring tool directly against hot surfaces. The heat can damage the measuring tool. The displayed reading is the average value of all temperatures measured within the measuring surface. Information about the measuring conditions Highly reflective, shiny or transparent surfaces (e.g. high-gloss tiles, stainless steel cup- board fronts or saucepans) may impair the surface temperature reading. If necessary, mask the area to be measured with a dark, matt adhesive tape that conducts heat well. Allow the tape to acclimatise briefly on the surface. It is not technically possible to perform measurements through transparent materials. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022)32 | English Consequently, the more suitable and stable the measuring conditions are, the more ac- curate and reliable the results of the measurement will be. The humidity and ambient temperature sensor(4) can be damaged by chemical contam- inants, such as paint or varnish vapours. Infrared temperature measurement is impaired by smoke, vapour or dusty air. It is therefore important to ventilate the room prior to measuring, especially when the air is contaminated or steamy. For example, do not perform measurements in a bathroom immediately after the shower has been used. Once ventilated, allow the room to reacclimatise a while until it returns to the usual tem- perature. The ambient temperature and relative humidity are measured directly on the measuring tool at the humidity and ambient temperature sensor(4). To achieve meaningful results, do not hold the measuring tool directly over or next to sources of interference such as ra- diators or open liquids. Do not cover the sensor(4) under any circumstances. Measuring functions Individual measurements Briefly pressing the measure button(1) once switches the laser on and actuates a single measurement in the selected mode. The measuring process can take 1 to 2s to com- plete. The measurements are displayed in the display section with the white background. Upon completion of the measurement, the laser switches off automatically. The most recent measurement readings are shown on the display. Continuous measurement Press and hold the measuring button(1) to perform continuous measurements in the se- lected mode. The laser remains switched on. Using slow movements, aim the laser circle at each of the surfaces to be measured, one by one. Move the measuring tool slowly in the room to perform humidity and ambient temperature measurements. The indication on the display and the indicator LED(15) are continually updated. As soon as you let go of the measuring button(1), the measurement is stopped and the laser is switched off. The most recent measurement readings are shown on the display. The indicator LED re- mains unchanged for the last display. 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 33 Mode selection To open the mode menu, press the ON/OFF button/mode button (12). Use the ON/OFF button/mode button (12) to select the required mode. Confirm your selection by pressing the measure button(1) or the emissivity button (13). To return to the previous mode, press the back button/delete button (11). Surface temperature mode (see figure A) Surface temperature mode is used to measure the surface temperature of an object. Press the measure button(1) and aim the laser circle so that it is perpendicular to the centre of the object being meas- ured. The surface temperature measured (h) is displayed in the area of the display with the white background. When the next measurement is taken, the previously measured value appears in the display (i). Press the back button/delete button (11) to delete the meas- ured value (h) in the area of the display with the white back- ground. The indicator LED(15) does not light up in surface temperat- ure mode. You can use this mode to measure the temperature of radiators, underfloor heating or fridge interiors, for example. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022)34 | English Reference temperature mode In reference temperature mode, 2 measured surface temper- atures are compared and the difference is displayed. This way, significant temperature differences can be measured at 2 different positions on one or more surfaces. Press the measure button(1) to measure the reference value (j). All subsequent measured values are then related to the reference value (j). The temperature difference (k) is dis- played immediately after a new measurement. With each new measurement, the measured value (h) is updated in the area of the display with the white background and the differ- ence from the reference value is recalculated. If the new value (h) is more than 1°C lower than the refer- ence value (j), the indicator light (15) lights up blue. If the new value (h) is more than 1°C lower than the reference value (j), the indicator light (15) lights up red. If the differ- ence value (k) falls within the ±1°C range, the indicator light (15) does not light up. Thermal bridge mode (see figure B) In thermal bridge mode, the surface and ambient temperat- ures are measured and compared with each other. If there is a significant difference between the two temperatures, a thermal bridge (see "Thermal bridge", page37) warning is issued. Press the measure button(1) and aim the laser circle so that it is perpendicular to the centre of the object being meas- ured. Once the measurement is complete, the measured sur- face temperature(h) is displayed. The ambient temperature (s) is automatically displayed before the measurement is taken. The measuring tool automatically compares the values and interprets the result as fol- lows: Green indicator LED(15): Low temperature difference, no thermal bridges present. Yellow indicator LED(15): Temperature difference near the limit value, a thermal bridge may be present in the area being measured; if necessary, re- peat the measurement at a later point in time. 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 35 Red indicator LED(15): The symbolindicates that the surface temperature of the area being measured deviates significantly from the ambient temperature. There is a thermal bridge in the area being measured, which is an indication of poor insulation. The room is too cold – if it is being heated normally, then the low temperature is an indication of poor overall insulation. If there are thermal bridges, check the thermal insulation in this area. If necessary, con- sult a building expert. Mould warning mode (see figure C) In mould warning mode, the ambient temperature and relat- ive humidity (see "Relative humidity", page37) are meas- ured. The dew point temperature (see "Dew point temperat- ure", page37) is then calculated using these two values. The surface temperature is also measured. The dew point temperature is compared with the surface temperature and the result is interpreted with regard to the risk of mould forming. Relative humidity(u), ambient temperature(s) and calcu- lated dew point temperature(q) are determined and dis- played automatically. Press the measure button(1) and aim the laser circle so that it is perpendicular to the centre of the object being measured. The surface temperature measured value (h) is displayed in the area of the display with the white background. The measuring tool automatically compares the values and interprets the result as fol- lows: Green indicator LED(15): There is no risk of mould forming under the current conditions. Yellow indicator LED(15): The values are near the limit; pay attention to room temperature, thermal bridges and humidity, and repeat the measurement if necessary at a later point in time. Red indicator LED(15): There is an increased risk of mould forming because the humidity is too high or the surface temperature is close to the dew point temperature. When the risk of mould is indicated, you should – depending on the cause – reduce the humidity through more frequent and thorough ventilation, increase the room temperat- ure and eliminate thermal bridges. Contact a building expert, if necessary. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022)36 | English Note: Mould spores cannot be detected with the measuring tool. It only indicates that mould may form if the conditions remain unchanged. Errors – causes and corrective measures Measured values outside the measuring range If the measured values for the object being measured in the laser circle are outside the measuring range, the following indicators are shown on the display: >500°C – the surface temperature is too high. <–30°C – the surface temperature is too low. For an ambient temperature: >50°C (too high) or <–5°C (too low) The values of this object cannot be measured. Aim the laser circle at another object and start a new measurement. 1 609 92A 85E | (19.10.2022) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 37 Internal error The measuring tool has experienced an internal error and switches off after five seconds. To reset the software, re- move the batteries, wait a few seconds and then reinsert the batteries. If the error persists, have the measuring tool checked by a Bosch customer service agent. Glossary of terms Emissivity The emissivity of an object depends on the material and the structure of its surface. This specifies how much infrared thermal radiation the object emits compared with an ideal radiant warmer (black body, emissivity ε=1) and accordingly has a value between 0 and
