1. General Welcome to the manual for the hand held infrared pyrometer. You can measure surface temperatures between -32C (-25.6F) and 1800C (3272F) without contact using this digital, battery powered pyrometer. A laser pilot light marks the center of the measuring spot.

Caution!
Do not look into the laser beam! It may damage your eyes.

AVOID EXPOSURE VISIBLE LASER RADIATION IS EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE

CAUTION LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM

PEAK POWER < 1 mW WAVELENGTH 670 nm CLASS II LASER PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH 21 CFR 1040.1 & 1040.11 PULSE DURATION = 270 ms

The instrument has an illuminated LCD display. This IR- thermometer is perfectly suited to measuring surface temperatures of non-metals and oxidised, or painted metal surfaces. On pure metal or other strong reflecting surfaces accurate measurements are not possible.

Caution!
Prevent any contact between the lens and acidid substances to avoid the generation of toxic gases!

3. How to operate the instrument

3.1. Dispay and Keyboard
Pilotlight Symbol Hold Symbol

C/F Display Low -battery Symbol Large Display Parameter Small display Pilotlight key up and

Parameter Optical axis

Lock-key Trigger

Batterycover Tripod thread

Pull the trigger to switch on the instrument. This is a two stage trigger. To lock the trigger for continuous readings, pull the trigger fully back and push up the lock-key. All functions can be managed using the keys on the keyboard. The laser can be turned on or off with the key marked by a laser symbol. The key marked "PAR" is the Parameter key for choosing the parameter to be used or adjusted (i.e. MAX or MIN or EMI Parameter for emissivity when present). The chosen function always appears in the small display. Use the "up" or "down" keys for adjusting or selecting a parameters value.

3.2 Setting up the instrument The instrument is powered by a 9 V Alcaline-Manganese battery (IEC 6LR61 ) or a 9 V rechargeable battery with the same dimensions, fitted into the handle. To replace the battery , first remove the screw in the batterycover and then pull out the battery cap. Fit the battery clip to the terminals on the battery, ensuring the polarities are correctly matched. Replace the battery cap and the screw. The pyrometer is now ready to use.

7 di 13

Caution!
Do not use the battery chargerif a nonrechargeable battery is fitted!

When the battery power is low the symbol will flash on the display. The instrument can still be operated for a short time. If the battery power is too low for the instrument to operate correctly, then it will switch off automatically. For saving battery life it is advisable to use the laser pilot light only temporarily for aiming at the target and then turning it off. To prevent data losses, the battery should only be done if the instrument is not working.

3.3. Measuring
By pulling the trigger to the first position the instrument is turned on and starts to measure.

Lock key Trigger

After an internal check (about 0.5 s), the measured temperature appears on the display. After releasing the trigger the last measured value is displayed. In the upper right corner of the LCD display the "HOLD" symbol appears. The instrument remains for another 10 s in standby and then turns off automatically. After switching on the instrument again, the MAX, MIN, DIF when present and AVG values are reset. The data in the instruments memory keep unaffected. In the NORMAL, MAX, MIN, AVG, DIF modes the trigger can be pulled until the second position is reached.

8 di 13

3.5. Laser sighting

The laser pilot light can be switched on or off by pressing the key marked with the laser symbol. The laser beam marks the center of the target spot. If the laser is turned on the laser symbol in the center of the upper row on the display flashes. Caution!
Do not look into the laser beam! It may damage your eyes.

3.6. Setting a Parameter

The different parameters can be chosen by repeatedly pressing the "PAR"- key until the requested parameter appears in the parameter display.

To change a parameter value just press the "up" or "down" key until the value required is shown in the small display. The measuring functions (NORMAL, MAX, MIN, AVG, DIF) remain set until the user chooses a different function. Any change will be saved even when the instrument has turned off automatically. After changing a parameter function (EMI, HI, LO, CLR, STO, RCL, INT, C/F), the instrument automatically returns to the NORMAL mode after 10 s.

3.6. 1. Emissivity The emissivity is the amount of heat radiation from the measured object - compared with an ideal black object. To measure the temperature of any surface accurately, it is necessary to know its emissivity and to set this value correctly.

9 di 13

1x

The emissivity can be varied between 20 % and 100 % in steps of 1 %. In most cases an emissivity around 95% will work for approximate readings of non-metals and treated (e.g. painted) metal surfaces .The error in the reading is only a few pecent. When the emissivity is not known, it is advisable to do a comparative reading with a contact temperature measurement instrument (e.g. Tastotherm MP 2000 with a suitable contact probe). Then, adjust the emissivity in the pyrometer until the same temperature value is shown as on the contact thermometer.

3.6.2. MAXImum or MINimum

In addition to the actual temperature being shown on the large display, the maximum (MAX) or minimum (MIN) temperature can be shown on the small display. The MAXimum function is especially useful for finding hot spots on larger areas by scanning this area with the pyrometer. Even small hot spots can be registered because the MAX display reacts faster than the NORMAL function (response time = 300 ms). This method can also be used for fast moving objects.
MAXImum-value
2x

MINimum-value
3x

10 di 13

The actual MAXimum value or MINimum value will be held in the display as the trigger s released. The instrument now is in the HOLD-mode. By pulling the trigger again, the MAX and MIN values are deleted. The function (MIN, MAX) itself will not be changed unless the Parameter (PAR) key is pressed again.

3.6.3. Average function (AVG)

The Average function is used to increase the accuracy in measuring temperatures, that change slowly in the time scale.

4x

3.6.4. Difference temperature function (when present) The Difference function (DIF) is used to measure temperature differences between the starting temperature and the current value.

5x

The starting temperature is set new every time the trigger is pulled. The large display now shows the current temperature, and on the small display is shown the difference between the starting temperature value and the current temperature. This function can be changed by pressing the "PAR" key again. Extra functions some models are equipped with extra function. Ask to the builder for detrails.

4. Error messages
In case there should be an internal error, it will be shown on the small display.
Err1: The internai power supply is faulty e.g. the battery is exhausted or defective. A replacement is required.

Err2: Error during program e.g. due to strong electromagnetic interference, move the instrument away from the source of the interference and restart it.

Having change the battery it is necessary to reset the instrument. Release the trigger let the instrument turn off, and turn it on again by pulling the trigger. If it is now working, check the settings and reset the parameters. If the error message is shown again, please contact the manufacturer. Apart from the error messages, an "out of range" message can also be displayed. Normal measuring:

Temperature below the limit of the measuring range

Temperature above the limit of the measuring range

Maximum value

Maximum value is above the limit of the measuring range

All measured values picked so far were below the limit of the measuring range

12 di 13

Minimum value

All measuring values were higher than the maximum allowed value

The lowest measuring value was lower than minimum allowed value

Difference value

Reference value out of temperature range

5. Maintenance
The Infrared-thermometer REDPOINT has no parts which have to be cleaned. For cleaning of the objective lens, if dirty, a soft, dry cloth and pure alcohol is best. Never use any other chemical cleaning detergent or mechanical aids.

Acid liquids are strongly forbidden.

If the instrument is not used for a longer time period the battery should be removed to avoid leaking and damaging the instrument. Service instruction for REDPOINT portable infrared pyrometers. Maintenance of REDPOINT infrared pyrometers is not necessary. All necessary repairs have to be performed by the manufacturer.

It is not allowed to intervene the instrument.
