industrial pyrometer with Type-K input measurement.

These units can provide fast, easy and accurate temperature

readings. With the non-contact (IR) and contact (TK) technology,

they can be used to measure the surface temperature of

hard-to-reach objects like electrified equipment or moving objects,

without any damage to them.

5. Field of View
The meter's field of view is 30:1, for example, if the meter is 30
inches from the target spot, the diameter of the target must be at
least 1 inch. Other distance ratios are show as Fig. 1 in the field of
view diagram.

9.1 Operating steps:

① Hold the meter by its handle grip and point it toward the

surface to be measured.

② Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on, the "SCAN"

icon will appear and begin testing.

③ The surface temperature being tested will be displayed on the

LCD screen.

④ Release the trigger, the "HOLD" icon will appear, and the

reading will be held for several seconds.

⑤ The meter will automatically shut off after 35 seconds.

Measurement Note：If the meter used in an ambient temperature

with wide temperature change, awaiting it at least 30 minutes to

adjust it.

The laser is designed for aiming only; it can be shut off while

operating in short distance to save the battery.

10. Notes
10.1 Work Principle

 The Industrial Pyrometer is designed for measuring surface

temperature of an object.

 The optical sensor can emit, reflect and transmit energy, which

is collected and focused on a detector, then translate it into the

temperature reading by electronics and displayed on the LCD

screen.

 The laser is used for aiming the target object only.

 The object under test should be larger than the spot size

calculated by the field of view diagram.

 The smaller the target object is, the closer the meter should be

to it for accurate measuring.

 When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice

as large as the spot size.

10.3 Distance & Spot Size

13
 As distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of

the area measured by the unit becomes larger.

10.4 Locating a hot spot

 To find a hot spot, first aim the thermometer to the outside of

target area, then scan across in an up and down motion until the

hot spot is located.

10.5 Notice

 Not recommend for measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces

like stainless steel, aluminum, etc.

 No not make measurement through transparent surface such as

glass.

 If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil,

grime, etc., clean it before taking measurement.

10.6 Maintenance

 Do not use volatile liquids to clean the unit, wipe it with dry

soft cloth.

 Do not disassemble the unit, repair it by qualified personnel

14
 Do not immerse it in water.

 Do not store it in high temperature or humidity.

10.7 Emissivity

 Most (90%) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces

have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit).
