Infrared Thermometers

Introduction

The 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (the thermometers)

are for non-contact temperature measurement. These

thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by

measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the

object’s surface. The thermometers also support contact-

temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. See the

Users Manual CD for complete operating instructions. Note that

the Japanese models indicate Celsius only.

Safety Information

WWarning

A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose

hazards to the user. To avoid personal injury, follow

these guidelines:

•*Do not point laser directly at eye or indirectly

off reflective surfaces.

•Replace the batteries as soon as the low-battery

indicator appears.

•Do not use the thermometer if it operates

abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When

in doubt, have the thermometer serviced.

•Do not operate the thermometer around

explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

•Do not connect the optional external probe to

live electrical circuits.

Getting Started

•To avoid a burn hazard or fire, know that

reflective objects may be much hotter than the

indicated temperature reading.

•Do not leave the thermometer on or near objects

of high temperature.

•Use of controls or adjustments or performance

of procedures other than those specified herein

may result in hazardous laser radiation

exposure.

•If the thermometer is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the thermometer may be impaired.

WCaution

To avoid damaging the thermometer or the

equipment under test, protect them from the

following:

•EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc welders,

induction heaters, etc.

•Static electricity

•Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt

ambient temperature changes- for highest

accuracy, allow 30 minutes for thermometer to

stabilize before use).

Using the Thermometer

To take a temperature reading, point the Thermometer at the

desired object and pull the trigger. You can use the laser pointer

to help aim the Thermometer. You may also insert the K-type

thermocouple probe for contact measurement.
