USER MANUAL ThermoInspector Laserliner

Function / application The ThermoInspector is a professional multisensor thermo- meter for ensuring hygiene in the food industry in accordance with HACCP guidelines and temperature specications in production, food and beverage dispensing, sampling and goods inwards inspection. The fold-out probe thermometer is used to measure liquid, pasty and semisolid materials. Surface temperatures can be determined with the infrared sensor. General safety instructions – The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specications. – Not suitable for medical diagnoses. – The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children. – Modications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specications. – Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, moisture or signicant vibration. – The measuring device must not be used in closed ovens. – Thoroughly clean the sensor before and after use. – The measuring device is not water tight. Only dip the measuring probe into the material up to approx. 10 mm below the casing. – Only hold the device by the handle. – Do not touch the measuring probe, it can become very hot during the measuring procedure. – Always protect the measuring probe by folding in the probe sensor when not in use. – Do not power the measuring probe with an external voltage. Safety instructions Using class 2 lasers Laser radiation! Do not stare into the beam! Class 2 laser < 1 mW · 650 nm EN 60825-1:2014 – Attention: Do not look into the direct or reected beam. – Do not point the laser beam towards persons. – If a person‘s eyes are exposed to class 2 laser radiation, they should shut their eyes and immediately move away from the beam. – Under no circumstances should optical instruments (magnifying glass, microscope, binoculars) be used to look at the laser beam or reections.

Laser warning message Laser outlet LED outlet Safety instructions Using articial, optical emission (OStrV) Safety instructions Dealing with electromagnetic radiation – The device works with LEDs of risk group RG 0 (exempt, no risk) in accordance with the latest versions of applicable standards relating to photobiological safety (EN 62471:2008-09ff / IEC/TR 62471:2006-07ff). – Radiation power: Peak wavelength equals 453 nm. Mean radiance is below the limit values of risk group RG 0: – Photochemical retinal damage, LB <100 W/(m

sr) within 2.8 hours – Thermal retinal damage, LR <280 kW/(m

sr) within 10 seconds – When used for the intended purpose and under reasonably foreseeable conditions, the accessible radiation of the LEDs is safe for the human eye and skin. – Temporary, irritating optical effects (e.g. dazzling, ash blindness, afterimages, colour vision impairment) cannot be completely ruled out, especially under low ambient light conditions. – Do not intentionally look directly into the radiation source for longer periods of time. – Special safety precautions are not necessary. – No specic measures are required to ensure the limit values of risk group RG 0 are maintained. – The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with RED Directive 2014/30/EU. – Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. There is a possibility of a dangerous impact on – or interference with – electronic devices. – The measuring accuracy may be affected when working close to high voltages or high electromagnetic alternating elds.

Dual laser target mark The dual laser is a targeting aid to sight the location for the infrared measurement. The temperature is only measured between the two laser points on the surface. Please ensure that the space between the instrument and surface to be measured is free of disturbances (steam, gas, contamination, glass). D:S ratio: 8:1 ENThermoInspector

MIN mode MIN mode determines the minimum measured value within a continuous measurement (keep trigger button pressed). The measured value is held for 15 seconds (Hold) after the trigger is released. Pressing the button again will start a new measurement, reset the MIN value and record the lowest measured value. Trigger (8) Mode button (3) MAX mode MAX mode determines the maximum measured value within a continuous measurement (keep trigger button pressed). The measured value is held for 15 seconds (Hold) after the trigger is released. Pressing the button again will start a new measurement, reset the MAX value and record the highest measured value. Trigger (8) Mode button (3)

1x 3x 1x LOCK LOCK mode LOCK mode triggers continuous measurement for a period of up to 60 minutes. With no mode set, measured values are shown continually when the trigger button is pressed (keep trigger button pressed). Trigger (8) Mode button (3) Trigger (8)

Trigger (8) Trigger (8) Mode button (3) Mode button (3) Trigger (8) Trigger (8) Insertion of batteries Infrared measurement Open the battery compart- ment and insert batteries according to the symbols. Be sure to pay attention to polarity. The laser is switched on and an infrared measurement can be performed by pressing the trigger button (8). Measured values are continually shown by pressing and holding the trigger button.14

Probe sensor Wherever possible, paint or matt black stickers can be applied on non-coated metals and metal oxides, which due to their low, temperature-unstable emissivity are suitable for IR measurement only for a limited extent, as well as on surfaces with unknown emissivity in order to set the emissivity factor to 0.95. If this is not possible, use a contact thermometer. The emissivity last selected is set after the device is switched on. Check the emissivity setting before each measurement.

To measure the core temperature in frozen food, drill a hole and then insert the measuring probe into the product.

In accordance with regulation (EC) 1935/2004, the fold-out probe sensor is designed for continuous contact with food, from the measuring probe up to approx. 10 mm before the plastic casing.

To use the probe sensor for a measurement, fold out the probe sensor and briey press the „Probe“ button (2). The measurement takes 4 minutes. The device then switches off automatically. The measured value is held (Hold) by pressing the „Probe“ button (2) again. Pressing the „Probe“ button (2) once more will restart the measurement. In Hold mode the device switches off after 10 seconds. It is possible to switch back to infrared measurement while measuring with the probe sensor. By pressing and holding the „Trigger“ button (8) the value from the probe sensor is held and marked with (Hold); infrared measurement starts. By pressing the „Probe“ button you switch back to measure- ment with the probe sensor. Setting the emissivity An integrated sensor head detects the material/surface- specic infrared radiation emitted by all objects. The level of these emissions is determined by the specic emissivity of the material (0.1/10E to 1.00/100E). After switching on for the rst time, the device is preset to an emissivity factor of 0.95, which is suitable for most organic materials and non-metals (plastics, ceramics, wood, rubber, paints, varnishes and stone). For materials with different emissivity factors, refer to the table under Point 10.

HACCP Check Green LED backlighting Green LED backlighting indicates safe cooling or frozen state below 4°C (40°F) or a safe holding temperature above 60°C (140°F). Red LED backlighting The LED backlighting is red when the measured temperature is between 4°C and 60°C. The product temperature is in the HACCP danger zone. The backlighting ashes when measuring with the probe sensor. Above 60°C: Hot food zone Bacteria are killed by heat above 60°C. 4°C … 60°C: Danger zone Bacteria grow rapidly between 4°C and 60°C. 0°C … 4°C: Cool zone Bacteria grow very slowly between 0°C and 4°C.
