INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Non-Contact Infrared

Thermometer and a Thermocouple Probe Thermometer. Your

Taylor® instrument is an example of superior design and

craftsmanship. Please read this instruction manual carefully before

use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

This thermometer has 2 uses – Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer

and a Thermocouple Probe Thermometer. You can select only one

use at a time, but can change the function at will.

Please remember to keep away from children!

Do not use for safety related applications.

NON-CONTACT INFRARED THERMOMETER FUNCTIONS

Distance:Spot Ratio = 8:1 (ie., 8” away, the spot will be 1”, etc)

Emissivity = 0.1 – 1, steps of 0.01

Wave Length = 8µm - 14µm

Simply aim the thermometer at the target to be measured with the

infrared lens (located on the underside of the thermometer) and

press the ‘SCAN’ (red) key to display the surface temperature.

The white light targeting feature will automatically turn on while

the Scan button is pressed.

The distance to target ratio is 8:1; therefore the thermometer

should be positioned as close to the target as possible.

As long as the Scan key is pressed, the newest temperature will

update and the thermometer will continue to measure. When the

Scan key is released, “Hold” will appear on the display and the last

measurement will remain visible for 15 seconds before the unit

turns off.

MODE KEY

Functions of the Mode (yellow) key are:

Min/Max, °C/°F Selection, Emissivity Selection

Min/Max

• Min/Max mode is used to get the lowest or highest

temperature when taking multiple measurements on an area

at one time.

• The thermometer will display the minimum or maximum

measurement ONLY while the Scan key is pressed

continuously. The reading will clear when the Mode key is

pressed again and Min or Max will flash on the display

• Max Mode: Press Scan, then Mode, then Scan (Max will

display on the screen). Keep holding Scan while taking the

measurements. The highest or MAX temperature will display.

Press the Mode key to clear.

• Min Mode: Press Scan, then Mode twice, then Scan (Min will

display on the screen). Keep holding Scan while taking the

measurements. The lowest or MIN temperature will display.

Press the Mode key to clear.

Emissivity

Emissivity is the measure of the amount of “black” in a

material. The duller and blacker the object, the closer to an

emissivity of 1. The more reflective the material, the lower the

emissivity. Changing this setting will alter the accuracy of your

measurements.

This thermometer is set with a default emissivity of 0.95. The

range is 0.10 – 1.0

To change the Emissivity, press the Scan key, then the Mode

key 5 times, then Scan for each 0.01 adjustment. To set, press

Mode again.

NOTE: Non-contact infrared thermometers are not

recommended for use in measuring the temperature of shiny or

highly polished materials due to the reflective properties/low

emissivity.

LOCK MODE

The lock mode is useful for continuous monitoring of

temperatures. To use the lock mode, press the Scan key, then

Mode key 3 times, then Scan key again. “Lock” will display

on the screen and the thermometer will continuously display

the temperatures for up to 60 minutes or until the Scan key is

pressed and held. When the Scan key is held and released,

“Hold” will display and the last measurement will remain visible

for 15 seconds and the screen will go blank.

THERMOCOUPLE PROBE FUNCTION

The thermocouple probe is used to measure internal food

temperature quickly and accurately.

To use, open the probe from the housing and insert the probe

into the food to be measured, then press and release the

‘PROBE’ (green) key to display the temperature. The unit will

continuously display temperatures for up to 4 minutes. After

that, the unit will automatically shut off to preserve battery

life. Pressing the Probe key again will hold the last temperature

and “Hold” will show on the display and the F (or C) will stop

flashing. If there are no further measurements after “Hold”

appears, the unit will automatically shut off after 15 seconds.

NOTE: If Scan is pressed while the Probe function is in use,

the Probe temperature will automatically “Hold” so the Scan

function can be used. If the Probe key is pressed while using

the Infrared function, then the Scan function will “Hold”. If

there is no Scan or Probe activity for 15 seconds, the unit will

automatically shut off.

°F/°C selection

To change the ‘ºC’ or ‘ºF’ mode, press the SCAN (infrared) then

the MODE key four times. This will switch between ºF and ºC

selections.

HACCP CHECK

HACCP stands for “Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points” and

is a management system used for food safety in professional

food service environments.

The HACCP Check feature is incorporated in this thermometer to

easily indicate critical temperature zones. The icons and LED

indicators located above the display indicate if a food product

stays in the safe or unsafe HACCP “Danger Zone” temperature.

A Green LED (left) appears with the “ “ icon to indicate a safe

cool or frozen condition below 40°F (4°C) or appears with the

“ “ icon (right) to indicate safe holding temperatures above

140°F (60°C).

When the temperature is between 40°F and 140°F (4°C and

60°C), the Red LED (middle) with the “ “ icon will appear and

indicate that the temperature has fallen within the HACCP

“Danger Zone”.

LCD ERROR MESSAGES

This thermometer incorporates visual messages

as follows:

• “Hi” or “Lo” is displayed when the temperature

being measured is outside of the range of the

instrument – “Hi” when higher than 626°F (330°C)

and “Lo” when lower than -67°F (-55°C).

• “Er2” is displayed when the temperature is

exposed to rapid changes in the ambient

temperature.

• “Er3” is displayed when the ambient temperature

is below 32°F (0°C) or above 122°F (50°C). The

thermometer should be allowed plenty of time

to stabilize to the working/room temperature if

exposed to extreme temperature changes.

For all other error messages, it is necessary to reset the

thermometer. To reset, turn the thermometer off, remove the

batteries, and wait for a minimum of one minute. Then, re-

insert the batteries and turn on. If the error message remains,

please contact Customer Service for further assistance.

BATTERY POWER ICON

‘Battery OK’: measurements

are possible

‘Battery Low’: batteries needs to be replaced,

measurements are possible

‘Battery Exhausted’:

measurements are not possible

INSERT/CHANGE BATTERIES

First Time Use:

1. Open battery compartment on the underside of the unit;

remove the bag with the screw and the cap – reserve.

2. Insert the batteries with the correct polarity as noted on the

inside of the case.

3. Replace cover; insert screw into the hole of the cover to

secure the battery compartment. Insert cap to protect from

water.

CAUTION: Since the thermometer is splash proof, please

make sure the battery cover and rubber cap are on tight

REPLACING THE BATTERIES:

1. Pick out the rubber cap carefully using a small pointed tool,

such as a screwdriver. Remove the screw from under the

cap.

2. Remove battery cover.

3. Replace with 2 AAA 1.5v batteries.

4. Replace battery compartment cover.

5. Replace the screw and the cap.

When the Low Battery icon indicates that the battery is low

or the readings grow dim or irregular, the batteries should be

replaced immediately. Please note: It is important to turn the

instrument off before replacing the batteries, otherwise the

thermometer may malfunction.

EMC / RFI

Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within a radio

frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3

volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be

permanently affected.

NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local

regulations.

WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all

small items, do not let children handle batteries. If swallowed,

seek medical attention immediately.
