61000, 6-1 2001 and thus meets the requirements of the current European and

national guidelines. Conformity has been proven and the relevant statements

and documents have been deposited at the manufacturer.

We kindly request the user to follow the operating instructions to preserve this

condition and to ensure safe operation!

Measuring spot size - Distance to Spot Ratio (D/S)

In order to obtain precise measuring results, the object to be measured must

be larger than the measuring spot of the IR thermometer. The measured

temperature is the average temperature of the measured area. The smaller the

object to be measured, the shorter the distance to the IR thermometer has to

be. The exact size of the measuring spot is indicated in the following diagram.

Furthermore, it is printed on the device. For precise measurements, the object

to be measured should be at least twice the size of the measuring spot. The

focus of the device is 914 mm.

D/S ratio 50:1

unit: mm

Emission ratio

The emission ratio is a certain value which is used for describing the energy

emission characteristic of a material. The higher this value, the more radiation

a material can emit. This is indicated by means of the emission ratio. To obtain

accurate measuring values for different materials with the IR-1001A, an

emission ratio between 0.10 and 1.0 can be adjusted. Please find enclosed a

list containing the emission values of several materials.

For compensation, the surface of shiny parts can be covered with adhesive

tape or matte black paint. It is not recommended to measure shiny materials or

metallic surfaces directly.

The device cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as e.g. glass. It

will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead.

• Do not expose the device to high temperatures for a longer period of time.

• Do not expose it to dusty and humid ambient conditions. Store the device in

the enclosed storing case after use in order to prevent contamination of the

lens.

Laser warning!

Never point the laser either directly or (due to reflecting surfaces)

indirectly at the eyes. Laser radiation might cause irreparable

eye damage. Deactivate the laser beam when measuring near

human beings.

Prescribed use

The device is intended for non-contact measuring of temperatures of -50°C to

+1,000° C. As power supply, use a 9V block battery of the type 006P, IEC6F22,

NEDA 1604 or similar types only. Operate the device in dry environment only.

Do not expose it to moisture.

Any use other than one described above damages the

product. Moreover, this involves dangers such as e.g. short

circuit, fire, etc. No part of the product must be modified or

rebuilt and the housing must not be opened!

The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the unit is inadmissible

because of safety and approval reasons (CE).

Always observe the safety instructions, warnings and the chapter „Prescribed

use" in order to ensure safe operation.

Please observe the following notes before using the device:

• Do not operate the device in the proximity of welding machines, induction

heaters and other electromagnetic fields.

• After rapid temperature changes, the device needs approx. 15 minutes of

Mode key „Function“ (6)

The IR-1001A measures the following temperature values

during each measuring: maximum (MAX), minimum (Min),

difference (DIF) and average value (AVG). These values are

stored until the next measuring and can be recalled by means

of the mode key (6). The alarm values „High alarm” (HAL),

„Low alarm” (LAL) and emission ratio (EMS) can be set by

means of the mode key. Each time you are pressing the mode

key, the IR-1001A skips to another indicating / setting mode

(see figure). With each measuring, the maximum (MAX),

minimum (Min), difference (DIF) and average values (AVG) of

the old measuring are overwritten and new values are stored.

Setting the alarm values and the emission ratio

Select the value to be set by means of the mode key (6). Set

the desired value by means of the keys „Up" (5) and „Down"

(4).

To activate the alarm function (acoustic) set the sliding switch

„SET ALARM” inside the battery compartment to the right

position (symbols „High” and „Low“ (17) appear on the

display).

Locking function

The IR-1001A can be set to permanent measuring by means of the locking

function. To activate the permanent measuring, set the sliding switch „LOCK

Off/On" inside the battery compartment to „On" and press the measuring key

(8). To deactivate the permanent measuring, set the sliding switch to „Off".

During the permanent measuring, the laser and the background lighting can be

switched on or off by means of the „laser/ backlight" key (7).

Inserting/replacing the batteries

For operation, the IR-1001A requires an

alkaline 9V block battery of the type 006P or

similar types such as IEC6F22 or NEDA1604.

If the voltage of the inserted battery falls below

the required value, the LC display indicates

the low-battery symbol „Low Bat" (14). In this

case, replace the battery.

To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

• Open the battery compartment by unfolding

the battery compartment cover from the

handle.

• Replace the battery by a new one of the

same type and fold the battery

compartment cover back to the handle.

Do not let batteries lie around openly. There is the risk of

batteries being swallowed by children! Leaking or damaged

batteries might cause acid burns when getting into contact with

skin. Never try to recharge batteries. Do not throw batteries into

fire!

Function

IR thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The sensor of

the device analyzes the emitted and reflected heat radiation of the object

measured, and converts this information into a temperature value.

Temperature measurement

To measure temperatures, point the opening of the IR sensor (1) at the object

to be measured and press the key for temperature measuring (8). The LC

display indicates „SCAN" (12). Make sure that the measuring spot is not larger

than the object to be measured. The currently measured temperature value

(20) is indicated on the LC display. To locate the hottest spots of an object, point

the IR-1001A at a spot outside the desired area and scan this area with zigzag

movements by pressing and holding the key for temperature measuring (8) until

the hottest spot is detected.

After releasing the key for temperature measuring (8), the measured

temperature value (20) is indicated for approx. 10 seconds. During this time, the

display indicates „HOLD" (11). After approx. 10 seconds the IR thermometer

switches off automatically in order to save battery capacity. Select the desired

indicating unit (°C/°F) by means of a switch inside the battery compartment.

With the laser switched on, the laser beam indicates approximately the middle

of the measuring spot. This makes it easier to perform precise measurements.

To activate the laser, press the ON/OFF switch (7) with the device being

switched on. The LC display indicates the laser symbol (14). If now you press

the key for temperature measuring (8), the laser beam indicates approximately

the middle of the measuring spot. To deactivate the laser, press the ON/OFF

switch (7) again and the laser symbol (14) disappears.

For measuring in the dark, the background lighting can be activated and

deactivated by means of the key (7). A symbol (15) indicates that the

background lighting is activated.
