Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Video IR Thermometer. This meter is capable of making
non-contact (infrared) and contact (thermocouple) temperature measurements. The built-in camera
offers still image and video capturing functionality for documenting measurement locations. The
meter includes a micro SD card slot for offloading still images and video.
The built-in laser pointer increases target accuracy while the backlit LCD and handy push-buttons
combine for convenient, ergonomic operation. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and,
with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

a paper clip into the Reset opening to trigger the RESET function.
6. For accurate readings, wait 30 seconds after powering on to allow the meter to stabilize.
Measurement Modes
The meter has four (4) measurement modes: Video + Infrared, Infrared-only, Dew Point, and
Datalogging mode. When the meter is switched ON, the first screen that appears is the mode
selection screen. Use the ▲/▼buttons to highlight the desired mode and then press the ENTER
button to access the mode.
Video + Infrared mode: the meter functions as an IR meter with the
camera capabilities;
Infrared-only mode: the meter functions as an IR meter only;
Dew Point mode: the meter shows the Dew Point temperature value;
Datalogging mode: the meter functions as a measurement
storage/retrieval device.

Video + IR mode
In the Video + IR Mode the meter can measure IR temperature, air temperature, humidity, dew-point
temperature, and wet bulb temperature, along with full use of the video camera capabilities. The IR
Maximum (MAX) Temperature, IR Minimum (MIN) Temperature, IR Differential (DIF) Temperature,
and the IR Average (AVG) Temperature can also be displayed. Press and hold trigger to measure
the temperature.
Capturing Still Images (Photographs)
In the Video + IR mode, press the button to take a photograph. Press the button again to
save the photo (the SAVE soft-key will appear above the up arrow button after the photograph is
taken). Press the ▼button to cancel the photo

IR-only mode
In the IR-only Mode the meter can measure IR temperature, air temperature, air humidity, dew-point
temperature, and wet bulb temperature but without the video camera capabilities. The IR Maximum
(MAX) Temperature, IR Minimum (MIN) Temperature, IR Differential (DIF) Temperature, and the IR
Average (AVG) Temperature can also be displayed. Press and hold trigger to measure the
temperature.
Dew Point Temperature Mode
In the Dew Point mode the meter displays the Dew Point temperature measurement along with the
IR temperature value. Press and hold the measurement
trigger to take a measurement.
In the Dew Point mode the percentage bargraph
indicates how close the IR temperature is to the Dew
Point temperature. At 100%, the two values are identical.
