, open the battery cover

. To do so, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and flip open. If applicable, remove the old battery and insert a new one. If necessary, clean the contacts of the battery compartment and the battery. Only use a 9 V block battery type 6F22 or 6LR61.10 GB/IE Ensure the correct polarity when inserting the battery. This is indicated on the battery cover (Fig. C). Close the battery cover. Your infrared thermometer is now ready for use. Start-up Hold the handle of the device so the index finger can operate the Measure button

and the thumb buttons

Switching on and off Press the Measure button

to switch on the device. The display

will light up and a brief tone will sound. Press and hold the °C / °F / SET button

for approx. 3 seconds to switch off the device. Two brief tones will sound. When the device is no longer being used, the backlight of the display swill switch off after approx. 15 seconds. After approx. 60 seconds the device will automatically switch off; this is indicated by two brief tones. Selecting the temperature unit After switching on, the last temperature unit used will initially be selected. Briefly press the °C / °F / SET button

to change the temperature units

(°C or °F). The official temperature unit in Europe in °C. Measuring temperature Allow about 30 minutes for the device to acclimate to the conditions of the envi- ronment.11 GB/IE Hold the Measure button

whilst aiming the laser pointer

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

„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.12 GB/IE Show temperature deviation The temperature deviation is the difference between a previously established refer- ence value and a temperature measurement. The display

indicates the deviations as numeric values and displayed in colour. An acoustic signal also sound. Determine reference value Press the measure button

and aim the laser pointer

at the area of which you wish to use the temperature as the reference. The temperature is indicated in the display

to use the temperature value as the reference value. This temperature is indicated in the display next to „REF“ as the reference display

Select tolerance range 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

appears in the display

. Using this button the symbol will move to the right ( ) or to the left ( ) above the tolerance range

selection in the display. Use this method to select the tolerance range indicated below the display: OFF

10°F Scan temperature deviation Select a reference temperature as described above. Press the Measure button

and aim the laser pointer

at the area you wish to measure. The temperature is indicated in the display

.13 GB/IE 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 °C / 5°F. 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 °C / 5°F. Battery state display The battery symbol appears in the display

as soon as the battery voltage is too low. Insert a new battery as described in chapter „Inserting/replacing the battery“ when this symbol appears. A drained battery may leak. In addition, the measurement may not be accurate as specified in „Technical Data“ if the battery voltage is low.14 GB/IE Troubleshooting Note: The device contains sensitive electronic components. For this reason it is possible that it can be disrupted by radio transmitting equipment in the immediate vicinity. If you notice that the device is malfunctioning, remove any sources of inter- ference from the area around the device. Note: Electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions. In the event of such mal- functions, briefly remove and replace the battery. The following table will help you locate and correct minor malfunctions: Fault Possible cause Solution The display

is inserted incorrectly. Insert the battery as shown on the battery cover

(Fig. C). The battery is drained. Insert a new battery. The display reads
