Measurement Notes 

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

of view diagram. 

2.  If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before 

taking measurements. 

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

surface before measuring. 

4.  The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfaces such 

as glass. 

5.  Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements. 
6.  The meter compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. It can, however, take 

up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide ambient temperature 
changes. 

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

and down motion) until the hot spot is located. 

Battery Replacement 

 
 
 
When the low battery symbol   appears on the lower left side of the 
display, replace the meter’s battery (9V). The battery compartment is 
located behind the light green panel that surrounds the meter’s trigger 
(see diagram). Open the compartment by pulling the light green panel 
down from the trigger area. Replace the 9V battery and close the 
battery compartment cover.
