Enable Data Logging

 

You initiate logging data (Relative Humidity, Ambient 

temperature, Infrared temperature, Thermocouple 1, 

Thermocouple 2) by pressing the SET/REC key from the 

following display menus: RH/Temp/IR (Main Menu) 

 RH/TC1/IR 

 RH/TC1/TC2 

 RH/TC1-TC2/IR 

 RH/Temp/TC2
The LOG display icon will turn on. The unit will log the 

five sets of data until the internal memory gets full. It will 

then stop logging data. The LOG display icon will blink 

accompanied by a one-time 3 beep warning. You can also 

stop logging data at any time by pressing the SET/REC 

key again.

Infrared Function 

You can set the target emissivity from screen 

6

 (from 

Display Screens Explained Section). Simply aim the 

infrared lens to the target object, press and hold the laser 

button to turn on the laser beam. The laser beam indicates 

either the center of the target object (Laser Dot) or the area 

of the target being measured (Laser Circle). There is a 5/8 

inch offset between the center of the optical field of view 

and the laser beam. It may take a few moments for the IR 

reading to stabilize.
