Caution! Risk of injury:

• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. If the sign on the device is not written in the language of your country, please affix the sign below onto the device.

• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The uncontrolled reflected beam may strike people or animals

• Do not aim too close at hot or hazardous targets.

• Keep this device and the batteries out of reach of children.

• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, this can lead to seri- ous internal burns and death within two hours. If you sus- pect a battery could have been swallowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help immediately.

• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!

• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking. Never use a combina- tion of old and new batteries together, nor batteries of dif- ferent types.

• Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and safety glass- es when handling leaking batteries. Important information on product safety!

• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, vibra- tions or shocks. Thank you for choosing this instrument from TFA.

2. Range of application

• We are confident you will find many uses for your “SCAN- TEMP 410” non-contact thermometer. It is compact and easy to use. Within one second you can safely measure sur- face temperatures without contact, even of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects.

• With the laser pointer the measuring point can be focused exactly.

• This product is exclusively intended for the range of appli- cation described above. It should only be used as described within these instructions.

• Unauthorized repairs, alterations or changes to the product are prohibited and might result in dangerous laser radiation.

• The product is not suitable for taking body temperature.

• The measured value and the maximum value (MAX) will be displayed during the measurement.

• Release the measuring button

• On the display appear HOLD and the latest measured tem- perature for about 15 seconds.

and you can change between Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as temperature unit.

• When the instrument is not used, it will automatically switch off after 15 seconds.

6.1 Distance, Spot Size, and Field of View (Fig. 2)

• As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger a ratio D:S = 12:1 (e.g. 120 cm distance = 10 cm spot size). To get the most accurate temperature reading, aim at the target as near as possible.

• Should the distance be too great, there is a risk that the temperature has also been taken outside the aimed target.

6.2 Shiny and transparent surfaces

• Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). To com- pensate for this, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat-colored paint and measure the surface.

• The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass or plastic. It will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead.

7. Care and maintenance

• The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermome- ter. Please protect the sensor part from dirt. Gently clean it with a soft cloth moistened with water or medical alcohol.

• Avoid splashes and spills on the unit.

• Store at a temperature of between -20°C to +65°C.

7.1 Battery replacement

• The battery symbol appears permanently on the display.

• Protect the device from high or abrupt temperature changes.

• Do not leave the device near objects of high temperature.

• Do not immerse the device in water. Water can penetrate and cause malfunction. Protect it from moisture.

• Check the housing before using the device. Do not use the device if it seems to be damaged. Check for cracks or miss- ing plastic parts.

• Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obstruct the unit optics and prevent accurate measurement. EMC/RFI

• Protect the unit from EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) from induction heaters and microwave ovens and Electro Static Discharge. Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within a radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts per meter, but the perfor- mance of the instrument will not be permanently affected.

• Large LCD-display with backlight

• Indication of measured value and maximum value

• Auto power off after 15 seconds

5. How the unit works

• Every body releases infrared energy. The unit’s optics and detector sense infrared energy and translate this informa- tion into a digital reading which is displayed.

• Press and hold the measuring button

to activate the measuring process.

• The backlight is automatically activated.

“Er“ = All other error messages: Switch of the instrument, remove the battery for 1 minute, then repower it. If the error message does not dis- appear, contact the retailer for further service.
