CAUTIONS 

 

-

 

Do not use this unit as a clinical thermometer. 
 

-

 

The PC-8400

  does not illuminate a laser.    Although the label by the slot for the backup battery states 

"Battery for Laser", this thermometer does not have a laser. This slot should be used to store a backup 
battery. 

 

-

 

Do not touch the measurement spot guide (trumpet-shaped section), or 
the measurement accuracy may be affected. Also, never grasp the 
guide when measuring. 

 

-

 

Never  expose  the  sensor  section  and  the  spot  guide  to  vapor  when  measuring  the  liquid  surface 
temperature to prevent condensation on the sensor lens or temperature fluctuations around the sensor, 
which may affect the measurement accuracy.

(1)  LCD            : Displays the temperature readings and the status indicators of the unit. 
 
(2)  Scan key      : Pressing this key starts measuring the surface temperatures of the object. The power is 
                              automatically turned off approximately 15 seconds after releasing the Scan key 
                              (automatic power-off function). 
 
(3)  Mode key:  Pressing  this  key  in  the  measurement  mode  (normal  measurement  status)  allows  the 

following to be set: 

 

    a. MAX value (highest temperature) display function 

 

    b. MIN value (lowest temperature) display function 

 

    c. LOCK (for continuous measurement) function 

 

    d. Emissivity setting function 

 
(4)  Battery slot: Holds a CR2032 lithium button-type battery. 
 
(5)  Slot for a backup battery 
 

 

: A backup CR2032 lithium battery can be stored to ensure rapid battery replacement. 

 
(6)  Sensor section:  A thermopile is used to detect infrared rays emitted from the object. 
 
(7)  Spot Guide  : Helps recognizing the measurement spot visually. By referring to the label put in the   
                              case, you can locate the spot you are measuring more accurately. 
 
(8)  Neck strap hole: Used for attaching a neck strap.
