2. Press in and down on the arrow located above the tilt stand hinge.

3. Replace the 9V battery and the battery cover

Auto Power OFF override

The HD300 is programmed to turn off automatically after idling for 15 minutes. This is

designed to save battery life in the event the meter is left ON inadvertently. (Note: When

the meter is in the “CFF/CMM” or “Average” mode, Auto Power Off is disabled.)

To over-ride this feature:

1. Turn the meter OFF

2. Turn the meter ON while holding down the IRT button.

3. Release the button when appears in the display.

4. The meter will now remain ON until the user manually turns if OFF.

5. The next time the meter is turned OFF the Auto Power OFF function will be re-

activated.

USB PC Interface and Software

The HD300 is equipped with a communication jack on its upper left side. The supplied

communications cable connects to this jack and to a USB port on a PC. The supplied

software allows the user to view and save readings to the PC. Instructions for use and

features are detailed in the supplied software HELP utility.

IR Theory

IR thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The meter’s optics sense

emitted, reflected, & transmitted energy that is collected and focused onto the meter’s

detector. The meter’s circuitry translates this information into an LCD reading.

InfraRed Measurement Considerations

•When taking IR measurements the meter automatically compensates for ambient

temperature changes. Note that it may take up to 30 minutes to adjust to extremely

wide ambient changes.

•Low temperature measurements quickly followed by high temperature measurements

may require several minutes to stabilize as a result of the IR sensor cooling process.

•If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before

taking measurements.

•If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint before

measuring.

•Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obstruct measurements.

•To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up

and down motion) until the hot spot is located.

•IR measurements cannot be made through glass.

IR Field of View

Ensure that the desired target is larger than the spot size. As the distance from an object

increases, the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger. The meter’s

field of view ratio is 30:1, meaning that if the meter is 30 inches (cm) from the target, the

diameter (spot) of the object under test must be at least 1 inch (cm). Refer below to the

field of view diagram.

Emissivity

Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95.

Inaccurate readings will result when measuring shiny or polished surfaces. To

compensate, cover the surface under test with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time

for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath then measure the

temperature of the tape or the painted surface.
