- Intended use
The infrared thermometer surface temperatures ranging from -50^ to +380^ (-58^ to +716^) as well as comparing temperatures with a previously recorded reference value. The surfaces of several objects may be measured successively and the temperature deviations compared visually, by colour, and acoustically. Only use the built-in laser pointer for measuring temperature to locate a measuring point on the device under test.
The device is only intended for private use and may not be used for commercial or industrial purposes. Only use the device in dry environments, resp. indoors. Any use of the product for other or additional purposes is considered improper use. Any claims for damages resulting from improper use are excluded. The user is solely responsible for any and all damages or injuries due to risks of improper use.
- Functionality
The infrared sensor 2 acquires and measures the infrared radiation emitted by the surface it is aimed at. The device determines the temperature of the surface from this infrared radiation.
The device features a laser pointer 1, pointing at the middle of the measuring range, to visualise the area of the surface the infrared sensor is acquiring the radiation from.
The measuring range is a circular area around this laser point which increases as the distance to the measuring distance increases. For details, please refer to chapter "Measuring temperature".

Measuring temperature
Allow about 30 minutes for the device to acclimate to the conditions of the environment.
Hold the Measure button 3 whilst aiming the laser pointer 1 at the surface you wish to measure.
The temperature is measured whilst pressing the Measure button; the display will read "SCAN".
After releasing the Measure button the last temperature measured will appear in the display and the laser pointer will be deactivated.
The temperature determined is the average temperature of the area measured. The area measured is circular. The diameter of the area measured S^ is one twelfth of the distance between the surface and the infrared sensor 2 , D^ . Below you will find some values as a guide:
| S (for surface diameter): 25 mm 75 mm 125 mm | |||
| D (for distance): 300 mm 900 mm 1500 mm |
Please note:
The surface of the target object must be significantly larger than the measuring diameter of the device. Otherwise the measurement will not be reliable.
Always measure at the closest possible distance to the measuring surface.
Aim the device as vertical to the measuring surface as possible.
Do not measure in dusty, steaming or smoky atmospheres.
Do not measure through transparent materials such as glass or plastic.

You can set the temperature deviation from the reference value as of which the device will respond with a visual and acoustic signal.
To do so, whilst the reference value 6 appears in the display 5, press the button 10 or the button 12 Using this button the symbol will move to the right ( ) or to the left ( ) above the tolerance range 9 selection in the display.
Use this method to select the tolerance range indicated below the display:
| OFF | 0.5°C 1°F | 3°C 5°F | 5.5°C 10°F |
- Scan temperature deviation
Select a reference temperature as described above.
Press the Measure button 3 and aim the laser pointer 1 at the area you wish to measure. The temperature is indicated in the display 5.
Hold the measure button whilst scanning, and slowly and steadily move the laser dot across the surface you wish to measure. The temperature deviations between the reference value and the measurement are indicated as follows:
| Visual indication | Acoustic indication | Cause |
| Red display background | Rapid tone series The upper temperature threshold has been exceeded | |
| Green display background | No tone Within the temperature range setting | |
| Blue display background | Slow tone series The value is below the lower threshold |
Example of use
To e.g. test cold air entering the space between a window frame and brickwork, first scan the temperature along the entire frame, next to the closed window. Select the warmest area of the frame as the reference temperature, then e.g. a temperature variation of 3^ / 5^ .
Now steadily scan again, along all sides of the window, next to the frame. The blue colour display and a slow tone series indicates a possible influx of cold air with a difference of 3^ / 5^ .
