Frequently Asked Questions - IR450EUR Beha-Amprobe

How to change the temperature unit from °C to °F?

Press the Test button and flashlight button simultaneously for 2 seconds. The unit toggles between °C and °F.

What to do if the screen remains blank?

Check that the battery is properly installed and not depleted. Replace the AAA 1.5 V battery if necessary.

The laser pointer does not turn on, what should I do?

The laser requires a good battery. If the battery is low or depleted, replace it. The laser only works when the Test button is pressed.

How to clean the thermometer lens?

Use dry compressed air to remove dust, then a damp cotton swab (water or alcohol) for dirt. Do not use solvents on the plastic lens.

What is the measurement accuracy of the IR450EUR?

Accuracy depends on the range: ±1 °C between 11 and 40 °C, ±1.5 °C or ±1.5% elsewhere (whichever is greater). For negative temperatures, ±2 °C up to 0 °C.

Can I measure temperature through a window?

No. The thermometer cannot measure through transparent surfaces like glass. Remove any obstacle between the device and the target.

How to activate continuous measurement?

Press the Test button for 3 seconds. The device enters continuous IR temperature measurement mode as long as you hold the button.

What type of battery to use and how to replace it?

Use a AAA 1.5 V alkaline battery. Slide open the battery cover, insert the battery respecting polarity, then close. After replacement, the device goes into standby automatically.

The device turns itself off, is this normal?

Yes, the auto power off mode turns off the device after 3 minutes of inactivity to save battery. Press Test to turn it back on.

Why are my measurements inaccurate?

Several possible causes: distance too large (the spot must be smaller than the target), inappropriate emissivity (shiny surfaces), sudden ambient temperature change (wait 30 min), or presence of steam/dust.

CAUTION LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM OUTPUT<1mW WAVELENTH 630-670nm CLASS II LASER PRODUCT

⚠ Warning

- Do not stare into laser beam.

- Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reflective surfaces.

• For use by competent persons only.

- Do not leave the unit on or near objects of high temperature.

- Verify the Tester's operation by measuring on a known source. Do not use the Tester if it operates abnormally.

- Do not operate the Tester around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

• The Tester is intended for indoor use only.

- Use the Tester only as specified in the users manual or the protection by the Tester might be impaired.

⚠️ Cautions

INTRODUCTION

A must-have tool for everyday applications, the IR-450 is a 3-in-1 tool that verifies temperature, is used as a laser pointer and illuminates dark work spaces with a bright LED flashlight. Compact and easy to use - just aim, press the button, and read surface temperatures in less than a second. You can safely measure surface temperatures of hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects without contact.

Features

• Infrared temperature measurement with laser pointer
• Holds temperature reading for 10 seconds
• Ultra white LED flashlight
• Selectable °F / °C temperature measurements
• Pocket clip

Power On / Off

press

Auto Power Off

The IR-450 will power down after not being used for 3 minutes.

Auto Hold

The unit will hold the reading for 10 seconds after the on button is pressed.

Operating the Unit

To measure temperature, point unit at an object and press the Test button. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size ratio and your distance from the measured object. The IR-450 is equipped with a laser. Use the laser only for aiming. See “Taking Temperature Measurement”.

Make sure that the target is larger than the unit's spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. The minimum measurement area is 3.75cm (1.5in) diameter.

Press the Ⓣ key, and the unit will show the temperature of the target surface. Then release the Ⓣ key, and the LCD will hold the reading for 10 seconds.

Press the ⓣ key for 3 seconds, the unit will turn into the IR temperature continuous measurement mode.

press for 3 secs continuous measurement mode 28.0 °C

°F / °C Temperature Selection

Press the Test button and the Flashlight button for 2 seconds at the same time for switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Distance and Spot Size

As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger.

30mm@240mm 50mm@400mm 100mm@800mm D: S= 8: 1 1.2°@9.6° 2°@16° 4°@32° s D

Use the unit at around 30cm to get the best measurement accuracy.

At longer distances, the target area shall be larger than the distance divided by 8.

Please do not put the fingers on the housing for a long period of time and cross the "B line" to prevent thermo effect interference from measuring accuracy.

Reminders

1. Changes of surrounding ambient temperatures can result in inaccurate readings. Allow time for the unit to adapt to the change temperatures before use. Specified accuracy applies after 30 minutes when the Tester adjusts to different environmental temperatures..

wait for 30 minutes for more accurate measurement

1. The unit cannot take measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass. Remove the barrier between the unit and the target surface.

35°C 5°C × 0

1. Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). See Emissivity.

2. Steam, dust, smoke, etc., can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit's optics

Emissivity

Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
