Meter Description
1. LCD Display
2. Function Buttons
3. Handle Grip
4. Laser Pointer
5. IR Sensor
6. Measurement Trigger
7. Battery Compartment
Operating Instructions
1. Hold the meter by its Handle Grip and point it toward the device whose temperature is
to be measured.
2. Press and hold the red Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will
light if the battery is charged. Replace the battery if the display does not light.
3. While continuing to press the Trigger, push the red Laser button to turn on the laser
pointer. Aim the red beam approximately a half inch higher than the point of test as
shown in the diagram below (pressing the Laser button again turns the laser off).
4. While measuring, the SCAN display icon will appear on the LCD above the
temperature measurement and to the left of the emissivity value (fixed at 0.95.).
5. If the measurement exceeds the useable temperature range (0 to 600oF), the meter will
emit a tone and the LCD will display ‘OVER’.
6. Release the Trigger when the temperature stabilizes. The HOLD display icon will
appear on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held.
7. Set the temperature units (oC or oF) using the blue oCand oFbuttons.
8. Press the yellow Backlight key to turn on the LCD backlighting function.
9. The meter will automatically power down after 7 seconds.
Field of View
The meter’s field of view is 6:1, meaning that if the meter is 6 inches from the target, the
diameter of the object under test must be at least 1 inch. Other distances are shown below
in the field of view diagram. Refer to the chart printed on the meter for more information.

Measurement Notes
1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field
of view diagram (see diagram on previous page or on side of the meter).
2. If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before
taking measurements.
3. If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint before
measuring.
4. The meter cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass.
5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure accurate measurements.
6. The meter compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. It can, however, take
up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide ambient temperature
changes.
7. 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.
Battery Replacement
When the low battery symbol appears on the LCD, replace the meter’s 9V battery.
The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the meter's handle. Open the
compartment by sliding the battery compartment cover off in the direction of the arrow.
Replace battery and re-install the battery compartment cover.
