PAN IRT800+ - Thermometer Pancontrol - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL PAN IRT800+ Pancontrol

Thank you for purchasing PANCONTROL. For over 20 years the PANCONTROL brand is synonymous with practical, economical and professional measuring instruments. We hope you enjoy using your new product and we are convinced that it will serve you well for many years to come. Please read this operating manual carefully before using the device to become familiar with the proper handling of the device and to prevent faulty operations. Please follow all the safety instructions. Nonobservance cannot only result in damages to the device but in the worst case can also be harmful to health. The PAN IR-T 800+ is a touch-free infrared thermometer for surfaces. Alternatively, a K-element (e.g. immersion sensor) can be connected. The PAN IR-T 800+ can also measure ambient temperature, humidity, and dew point. In the case of walls, the risk of mould formation can be displayed.EN 3 With the UV light, leaks in pipes can be detected in certain gases (e.g. air conditioning systems). The technical progress is subject to change.

3. Safety Instructions

• Protect your eyes! Never direct the laser in the face of people or animals. Watch also for reflective surfaces!

• To ensure the safe use of the device, please follow all the safety and operating instructions given in this manual.

• Before using the device, make sure that it is intact and is functioning properly.

• Keep the device, especially the lenses, clean and dust-free.

• The device must no longer be used if the housing is damaged, if one or more functions fail if no function is displayed, or if you suspect that something is not right.

• If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the device may not be operated and secured against use.

• If the battery symbol appears in the display, replace the battery immediately.EN 4

• Always switch off the appliance before opening the device to exchange the battery or the fuse.

• Do not keep the infrared thermometer too close to a hot surface.

• Do not use the device near strong magnetic fields (for e.g. welding transformer), as this can distort the display.

• Do not store the device in places which are exposed to direct sunlight.

• Remove the battery if the device is not used for a long time.

8. Operating Instructions

• Protect your eyes! Never direct the laser in the face of people or animals. Watch also for reflective surfaces!

• Please refer to the sketches on the first pages of this manual.

• After a sudden change in the ambient temperature, the Infrared thermometer has to be adjusted. This may take up to 30 minutes. The thermometer will only function properly if the internal temperature of the unit and the ambient temperature are the same.

• Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The device cannot measure through transparent surfaces like glass. It would measure the temperature of the glass surface. Cover the surface using a black adhesive tape to compensate for this. Give the adhesive tape some time to assume the temperature of the test object and then measure theEN 7 temperature of the adhesive tape. Contaminated optics (for e.g., by smoke, dust or vapour) affect the accuracy of the measurement.

• If the distance between the measuring device and the test object increases, the measured area becomes correspondingly larger. The relationship between the distance and measured area can be seen in the graph Fig. 3.

• Ensure that the area to be measured of the test object is larger than the measuring point. The smaller the test object, the smaller must be the distance to the measuring device. The test object should be at least twice as large as the measuring point to get an accurate measurement. The minimum size of the object to be measured is displayed through the ring of laser points around the Central measuring point. emissivity The emissivity describes the energy-emitting properties of materials. Most of the organic materials have an emissivity of 0.85 … 0.98 (0,95 preset in the device). The emissivity can be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.0. Substance emissivity Substance emissivity Concrete 0,94 Textiles 0,90 Brick 0,93 to 0,96 Human skin 0,98 Ice 0,96 to 0,98 Timber 0,90 Sand 0,90 Paper 0,70 to 0,94 Plaster 0,80 to 0,90 Iron oxides 0,78 to 0,82 More values can be found under: http://www.pancontrol.at/spezielle-produktinformationenEN 8 Set emissivity level Set the device with the mode key that only the emission level is displayed. You can now set the desired value with the ▼ / ▲ buttons. A long press changes the value quickly. Press the test button (trigger) to switch on the device and to start the measurement process. Set temperature unit Press the MODE button 2 seconds until the unit °F or °C appears on the display. Laser / UV-light Press the "DOWN"-button to turn off the Laser. Press the "UP"-button to turn on the UV light. Refrigerant from air-conditioning fluoresce under UV light. Turn the laser off and the UV light on. So, you can find leaks in air conditioners. Surface measurement Impostare il dispositivo con il tasto mode che consente di visualizzare tutti i valori (temperatura, umidità e punto di rugiada). Aim with the device on the surface to be measured and press the measuring button (trigger). Wait until the value on the display has stabilized, and read off the measured value. Temperature difference-alarm Set the device with the mode key displays ambient temperature and surface temperature. Measure desired surface.EN 9 If the difference between the surface and the surrounding area is too large, the alarm LED (1) lights up red. Mildew alrm Impostare il dispositivo con il tasto mode che consente di visualizzare tutti i valori (temperatura, umidità e punto di rugiada). Measure the inner surface of an exterior wall. If the surface temperature is near or below the dew point, the alarm LED (1) lights up red. Type K temperature probe Connect the device to the K-probe. Observe the correct polarity! Connect the temperature probe to the device to be tested wait a few moments and read the value displayed. If necessary, use heat conducting paste.

Only authorized service technicians may repair the instrument. Changing the battery(s) Replace the battery(s) when the battery symbol or BATT is displayed on the LCD. Open the battery compartment with a coin. Replace the battery. Mind the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment. Disposal of the flat battery should meet environmental standards. Remove the battery if the device is not used for a long time.EN 10 Cleaning If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by using a humid cloth and a mild household detergent. Prior to cleaning, ensure that instrument is switched off and disconnected from external voltage supply and any other instruments connected. Never use acid detergents or dissolvent for cleaning.
