• Avoid using the meter around strong electromagnetic fields.

SAFE PRACTICES

This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable dangers beyond its targeting lasers; the objects being measured, as well as the environment in which they reside, can be hazardous. Common safety practices to follow when operating near temperature critical environments are:

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance procedures when servicing equipment.
• Before using this meter to determine if an area is safe, verify correct operation by measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object.
• Properly maintain this meter and calibrate it regularly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

To measure temperature with the IR5, aim the meter at the object to be measured, pull the trigger ⑤ and hold it depressed for at least 2 seconds. Releasing the trigger initiates Data Hold, "HOLD" will show on the display, and the measurement will be held on the display. If the display shows "OL" or "-OL" following a measurement, this indicates that the surface temperature of the object being measured is either above or below the measurement range of the meter.

TARGETING

The IR5 features dual lasers ⑧ to assist in targeting the measurement area. The distance between the two laser spots on the surface of the object being measured approximates the diameter of the circular measurement area from which the infrared sensor is collecting data. Measurement areas located far away from the meter will be larger than those close to the meter.

The meter is configured with 12:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement area relative to the distance between the measurement location and the IR sensor ⑦. Typical diameters of the measurement area as a function of the distance between the meter and the target area are depicted below for 12:1 optical systems (Fig. 1).

Distance-to-Spot

TARGETING LASERS

The targeting lasers ⑧ may be turned on/off by long presses of control button ③. When on, the laser icon "will be visible on the display.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BACKLIGHT

The backlight may be toggled on/off by short presses of control button ③. When on, the backlight icon will be visible on the display.

MODE SELECTIONS

When measuring temperature the meter continuously samples the object being measured. Following a measurement, repeatedly press the mode control button ① to cycle through:

• the maximum temperature value measured ("MAX").
• the average value measured ("AVG").
• the difference between maximum and minimum values measured ("DIFF").
• the minimum value measured ("MIN").
• press once more to exit the MODE menu.

SETTINGS

User adjustable settings may be defined using the SET control button ②. Press SET ② to enter the settings menu, subsequent presses of SET cycle through the following list of options:

• emissivity: set the numerical value of the emissivity to match the surface being measured (see EMISSIVITY section below). When in this setting the emissivity icon will flash on the display.
• units: Switch between °F (Fahrenheit) and °C (Celsius). When in this setting the "°F" or "°C" icon will flash on the display, indicating the temperature scale that is currently active.
• mute temperature limit alarms: (turn audible limit alarms on/off). When in this setting the audible icon "■" will flash on the display. When on, the high "Hi"/low "Lo" icons will be visible and when off they will not be visible.
• high temperature limit setting: assign a numerical value to the high temperature limit. When in this setting, the high icon "Hi" will flash on the display.
• low temperature limit setting: assign a numerical value to the low temperature limit. When in this setting, the low icon "Lo" will flash on the display.

When in any setting, control buttons ① and ③ function as up/down to adjust settings and they may be used to select units, turn alarms on or off, or adjust the numerical values of the respective parameters up or down.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

EMISSIVITY

Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal energy by radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry, wood, etc.) emit thermal energy through radiation at different efficiencies. Accordingly, these materials have different emissivity coefficients which must be considered in order to make accurate measurements with an infrared thermometer.

Emissivity on the IR5 may be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.00 to enable accurate measurement of the temperature of most types of materials. Generally speaking, shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity than flat black materials.

For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as surface finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc.

This chart should be used for guidance only.

Material Emissivity
Asphalt 0.93
Red brick 0.93
Gray brick 0.75
Porcelain ceramic 0.92
Fired clay 0.91
Rough concrete 0.94
Cotton cloth 0.77
Smooth glass 0.92 - 0.94
Granite 0.45
Gravel 0.28
Smooth ice 0.97
Smooth white marble 0.56
Black paint 0.96
Hard rubber 0.94
Wood	0.80 - 0.90
Matte copper	0.22
Commercial sheet aluminum	0.09
Cold rolled steel	0.75 - 0.85
