Laser light: Do not stare into laser beam

Conform to relevant Australian standards

Complies with European Directives

Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. Contact a qualified recycler

• Do not stare into laser beam.

• Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly off reective 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 specifed in the users manual or the protection by the Tester might be impaired.2 Cautions The unit should be protected from the following,

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

• Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes - allow 30 minutes for unit to stabilize before use)

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your shipping carton should include: 1 IR-450 1 1.5V AAA alkaline battery (installed) 1 Manual If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange. 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

C temperature measurements

• Pocket clip3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power On / Off 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”. Taking Temperature Measurement Incorrect Target Area4 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. °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.5 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..6 Allow time for the unit to adapt to the change of ambient temperatures from the user’s pocket to environmental ambient.

2. The unit cannot take measurements through

transparent surfaces such as glass. Remove the barrier between the unit and the target surface.7

3. Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or

polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). See Emissivity.

4. 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.
