Dual Laser InfraRed (IR) Thermometer

MODEL 42512

42512 V7.0 03/08

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Model 42512 IR Thermometer. This Infrared

thermometer measures and displays non-contact temperature readings up to 1832oF

(1000oC). At 30”, built-in dual lasers converge to 1” target spot to insure accurate targeting

and temperature measurement. The adjustable emissivity feature allows the IR

thermometer to measure the temperature of virtually any surface. Proper use and care of

this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Measurements

1. Hold the meter by its handle and point it toward the surface to be measured.

2. Pull and hold the trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The temperature

reading, MAX temperature reading, the ‘SCAN’ icon, the emissivity value, and the unit

of measure will appear.

3. Release the Trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 7 seconds (HOLD will

appear on the LCD) after which the meter will automatically shut off. The only

exception to this is if the LOCK mode is set to ON.

Note: Select the temperature units (ºF/ºC) using the switch inside the battery

compartment

Dual Laser Pointer

The dual laser pointers are designed to cross at a

distance of 30” (76cm). The spot size at this distance is

a 1” diameter and this is the recommended distance to

target for most measurements. To turn the lasers

on/off:

1. Press and release the Trigger

2. While HOLD is on the display, press the laser

button once to turn on the lasers on or off.

3. The laser icon will appear in the LCD when the

laser function is enabled.

4. The status of the laser will be stored in memory

and will remain as the “turn-on” condition until

changed.

42512 V7.0 03/08

MAX (maximum) temperature display

The highest reading encountered during a single measurement scan is displayed in the

MAX display

Backlight

1. Press and release the Trigger

2. While HOLD is on the display, press the backlight button once to turn on the

backlight on or off.

3. The backlight will illuminate in the LCD when the feature is enabled.

4. The status of the backlight will be stored in memory and will remain as the “turn-on”

condition until changed.

5. Note: The backlight will shorten the battery life. Only use this feature when required.

The MODE button options

The MODE button is used to access the Emissivity, Lock, High alarm and Low alarm

features of the instrument.

1. Press and release the Trigger

2. While HOLD is on the display, press the MODE button to step through and program the

following features. A blinking icon indicates the feature is selected.

E= (Emissivity Value)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to change the emissivity value.

(Lock mode On/Off)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to turn the lock feature ON or OFF.

(High Alarm On/Off)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to turn the High Alarm feature ON or OFF.

(High Alarm setting)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to set the high alarm limit value in the main display

(Low Alarm On/Off)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to turn the High Alarm feature ON or OFF.

(Low Alarm setting)

Press the ▲or ▼buttons to set the Low alarm limit value in the main display.

42512 V7.0 03/08

High and Low Alarm Feature

The meter has a programmable high and low alarm feature. When either alarm point is

reached the meter will alert the user via an audible beep and a blinking LCD display icon.

The alarm limit is set and the feature is enabled/disabled using the MODE button. The

setting is stored and memory and will remain as the “turn-on” condition until changed.

Temperature Units

The temperature units can be set to °F or °C using the switch located in the battery

compartment.

Lock feature

The LOCK feature disables the Auto Power Off feature for the period of use when

selected. The feature is useful for long term temperature monitoring and hands free use.

The meter will revert to auto power off if the trigger is pressed during a locked scan.

Over-range Indication

If the temperature measurement exceeds the specified temperature range, the

thermometer will display dashes in place of a temperature reading.

Battery Replacement

When the low battery symbol appears on the display, replace the

meter’s battery (9V). The battery compartment is located behind the

panel that surrounds the meter’s trigger. Open the compartment by

pulling the panel down from the trigger area. Replace the 9V battery

and close the battery compartment cover.

IR Measurement Notes

1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field

of view diagram (printed on the side of the meter and in this guide).

2. Before measuring, be sure to clean surfaces that are covered with frost, oil, grime, etc.

3. If an object's surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black paint to the

surface before measuring. Allow time for the paint or tape to adjust to the temperature

of the surface it is covering.

4. Measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass may not be accurate.

5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements.

6. The meter automatically compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. However,

it can take up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide changes.

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

and down or side to side motion) until the hot spot is located.

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 greater than 1 inch. Other distances are shown in

the field of view diagram. Measurements should normally be made as close as possible to

the device under test. The meter can measure from moderate distances but the

measurement may be affected by external sources of light. In addition, the spot size may

be so large that it encompasses surface areas not intended to be measured.

Emissivity and IR Measurement Theory

IR Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics

sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy. The thermometer’s electronics translate

the information into a temperature reading which is then displayed on the LCD.

The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature

and its ability to emit energy. This ability is known as emissivity and is based upon the

material of the object and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for a very

reflective object to 1.00 for a flat black finish. For the Model 42515, the emissivity is

adjustable from 0.1 to 1.00. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have

an emissivity factor of 0.95. When in doubt, set the emissivity to 0.95.

Emissivity Factors for Common Materials

Concrete 0.94 Skin (human) 0.98
