Infrared Temperature Measurements

1. Press the power button to turn the meter on.

2. Press the IRT button to enable the IR thermometer and the laser pointer. The laser pointer icon

will flash while the mode is active.

3. Press the ▲or ▼button to change the temperature units

4. Aim the laser pointer at the surface to be measured and read the surface temperature in the

secondary display.

5. Release the IRT button. The last temperature measured and the laser icon will remain on the

display for approximately 10 seconds before returning to ambient temperature measurement.

IRT MAX MIN display:

The meter can be set to display only the maximum or minimum temperature measured during an IR

scan.

1. With the meter in the IR hold mode, press the MODE button. “MIN” will appear in the

display.

2. Press the IRT button to enable the IR thermometer. The meter will display the minimum

temperature measured and will update only when a lower temperature is measured.

3. Press the MODE button twice to enable the MAX mode and proceed as stated above for the

maximum temperature.

4. The MAX or MIN temperature is not stored when the function is exited. The unit

automatically exits MAX/MIN mode after approximately 10 seconds.

IR Field of View

Ensure that the desired target is larger than the spot size. As the distance from an object increases,

the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger. The meter’s field of view ratio is

8:1, meaning that if the meter is 8 inches (cm) from the target, the diameter (spot) of the object

under test must be at least 1 inch (cm). Refer below to the field of view diagram.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers

do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for

extended periods of time.

Condensation Mode

The Condensation feature alerts the user when the surface temperature as measured by the IR

thermometer is close to or has reached the Dew Point temperature.

1. Press the power button to turn the meter on.

2. Simultaneously press the MOIST and RH buttons. The “COND” icon will appear.

3. Point the meter at a surface, press the IRT button to measure the surface temperature. The

small display will indicate the IR surface temperature and the large display will indicate the

difference between the IR temperature and the Dew Point temperature.

4. The meter will then report the potential for condensation on that surface in the following

manner

If the temperature of the IRT is more than 14°C (25°F) above the Dew Point, the

temperature difference shall be displayed, with no other warning.

If the temperature of the IRT is 3-14°C (5-25°F) above the Dew Point, the temperature

difference shall be displayed, along with a standard Condensation Indicator icon. The meter

shall beep once to confirm that the reading is in the risk area.

If the temperature of the IRT is less than 3°C (5°F) above the Dew Point, the temperature

difference shall be displayed, along with a flashing Condensation Indicator icon. The meter

shall beep twice to confirm that the reading is in the high-risk area.

5. Press the RH button to exit the mode.

Vapor Pressure Mode

Ambient Vapor Pressure

1. With the Condensation mode active, press the MODE button to display the Vapor Pressure in

mBAR (°F) or kPa (°C). Press the ▲or ▼button to toggle between mBAR or kPa.

2. Press the MODE button to exit the Vapor Pressure mode.

Surface Vapor Pressure

1. Enter the Vapor Pressure mode as described above.

2. Press the IRT button and aim the laser pointer at the surface to be measured to display the

Surface Vapor Pressure in mBAR (°F) or kPa (°C).

Alarm High and Low Limit Setting

High and Low alarm points can be set for Humidity and Moisture measurements.

Humidity Alarm Set Procedure:

memory location 01.

Recalling Stored Readings:

1. Press the ▲and ▼buttons simultaneously to display stored readings. The numeric display

above the MEM icon will flash.

2. Use the ▲or ▼button to scroll through the memory locations.

3. To return to normal operating mode, press the STORE button.
