IR non-contact Measurements
1. Turn the instrument ON.
2. Press the F1 MEAS softkey from the
WELCOME screen to enter the measurement
mode
3. Point the meter at the surface to be measured.
4. Press and hold the ON button to take a reading
while pointing toward the target.
5. Press F3 LASER during measurements to turn
the laser pointer ON or OFF. The icon
appears when the laser is on. Note that if the
Laser is disabled in the SETUP mode, it will not
light. Refer to the SETUP section to enable the
Laser function..
6. Release the ON key to hold the measurement
on the LCD when the measurement session is
finished.
7. Press F4 PRN to print the reading. Use the LINE FEED button
to advance the paper.
8. Press F1 EXIT to return to the WELCOME screen.
Contact Measurements using the Remote
Temperature Probe
1. Plug the external probe into the probe jack on the side of the meter.
2. Turn the instrument ON.
3. Press the F1 MEAS softkey from the
WELCOME screen to enter the measurement
mode
4. Touch the probe to the surface under test.
5. Read the temperature on the LCD next to EXT
(external)
6. To use the probe to find an emissivity setting
for a particular surface, take an IR measurement and a probe measurement of the
same surface, noting the readings. Then adjust the emissivity so that both the IR and
the contact probe readings match. Now the emissivity is properly set for that particular
surface. IR readings of that surface will be of the highest accuracy possible with this
instrument.
7. Press F4 PRN to print the reading. Use the LINE FEED button to advance the paper.
8. Press F1 EXIT to return to the WELCOME screen.
Note: The CALI softkey is used to calibrate the external temperature probe to the meter. If
this feature is accidentally entered, press and hold the EXIT softkey to exit the mode. A
calibration procedure and probe calibration data is required to perform this procedure.
