A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the product or the equipment under test. Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

• Read all safety information before you use the product.

• Carefully read all instructions.

• Use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the product can be compromised.

• Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.

• Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.

• Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.

• Use the product only as specified, or hazardous laser radiation exposure can occur.

• Do not use laser viewing glasses as laser protection glasses. Laser viewing glasses are used only for better visibility of the laser in bright light.4

• Do not open the product for reasons other than replacing batteries. The laser beam is dangerous to eyes. Have the product repaired only through an approved technical site.

• Verify the product’s operation by measuring on a known temperature source. Do not use the product if it operates incorrectly or abnormally.

• Do not use the product if it is damaged.

• See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.

• Remove the batteries if the product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 122 °F (50 °C). If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the product.

• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.

• Use only AA alkaline batteries and follow all battery care from the manufacturer.

• Do not leave the product on or near objects of high temperature.

• For use by competent persons only.

• Have an approved technician repair the product. W Caution To prevent personal injury and for safe operation and maintenance of the product:

• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid.

• Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery leakage.

• Do not short the battery terminals together.

• Keep batteries clean and dry. To avoid damaging the product under measurement, protect it from the following:

• EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders and induction heaters.

• Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes — allow 30 minutes for the product to stabilize before use).

• Do not leave the product on or near objects of high temperature.

Press the trigger to capture an image and to use the laser pointer to help aim on the target surface (laser pointer must be enabled in the menu, see Figure 2.3). Press navigation button to the left to save the image or press to the right to cancel . Note: The laser is used for aiming purposes only and is not related to temperature measurement. Hold the product 12 inches (30 cm) from the target (>59

C) and 2.4 inches (6 cm) from the target (<59

C) for best temperature accuracy. Note: Higher Distance to Spot ratios require smaller target areas to make accurate measurements. The Distance to Spot ratio of this product is 20:1.

To change the level of blending between 0 - 100%, press down or up on the power button while in measurement mode.8 MENU MODE Changing Settings in the Menu Once the product is powered on, reach the menu by clicking left on the power button. Settings that can be manipulated include emissivity, flashlight, UV light, laser sight, hot and cold markers, center point marker, color palette, °F/°C, timed auto power off, and date & time. Enabled options will appear as blue squares while disabled options will appear as black squares. Emissivity Figure 2.1 DOWN UP ENTER

MEASUREMENT The emissivity of the surface of a material describes its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation. Quantitatively, emissivity is the ratio of the thermal radiation from a surface to the radiation from an ideal black surface at the same temperature as given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Refer to Table 1 for the emissivity adjustment. In measurement mode, emissivity level is shown on the bottom right of the screen. Emissivity can be changed to values between 0.10-1.00 in menu. Note: Surfaces with an emissivity <0.60 make reliable and consistent determination of actual temperatures problematic. The lower the emissivity, the more potential error is associated with the temperature measurement calculations of the product, even when emissivity and reflected background adjustments are attempted and performed properly. Table 1. Nominal surface emissivity for an accurate non-contact infrared temperature measurement.

MEASUREMENT ENTER The flashlight can be turned on the the menu or by holding down the navigator button >2 seconds. The UV light will illuminate fluorescence in substances and on surfaces. Use it in combination with UV dyes to inspect automotive and HVAC systems for leaks. Laser Sighting Figure 2.3

MEASUREMENT ENTER Laser sighting provides an accurate visual target for temperature measurement. *See SAFETY INFORMATION on pages 3 to 4 when using the laser. Once laser sighting is enabled on menu, return to measurement mode by pressing the navigator button to the right, and press the trigger to activate laser sighting (see page 7: Image Capture/Laser Pointer).10 Memory/SD Card Figure 2.4

MEASUREMENT To view saved images, navigate to the SD card icon in the menu. Most recent images will appear first. Browse images by toggling up or down. Note: Images cannot be deleted or renamed through the IRC-120 interface. Make these modifications by installing the SD card in an alternate device such as a computer. The SD card comes installed in the product and will name saved photos in numerical order from 0001-9999. Access the SD card through the movable flap on the side of the product. Gently push on and release the SD card to pop it out. Insert it into the SD card adapter and then into a computer to download saved images. Saved images can also be downloaded with a micro B USB cable (not supplied). Access the USB port below the SD card. The product does not need to be powered on to download pictures through the USB connection. If you receive this error ( ), either the SD card is not inserted or SD card memory is full. If the images are renamed, the SD card may be able to store more than 9,999 images. Hot and Cold Markers Figure 2.5

MEASUREMENT ENTER Hot (red square outline) and cold (blue square outline) markers indicate the locations of hottest and coldest areas within a target area.11 Center Point Marker

MEASUREMENT ENTER GrayscaleRainbow Hot Iron Figure 2.7 The color palette can be changed depending on the specific application of the measurement. This option allows for different viewings of an infrared image by changing the false-color presentation. Grayscale shows a more equal and linear presentation of colors to enhance detail, while Hot Iron and Rainbow combine high contrast with Grayscale. °F / °C
