Control Company 4475 MiniiiIR TRACEABLE THERMOMETER - Manual

‘Er’ for all other error messages it is necessary
to reset this unit. To reset, turn off the unit,
remove the battery and wait for a minimum of
one minute, reinsert the battery and turn on (see
battery replacement instructions).
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this unit does not function properly for any
reason, replace the battery with a new high
quality battery (see “Battery Replacement”
section). Low battery power can occasionally
cause any number of “apparent” operational
difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new
fresh battery will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, a faint display, no display or a
flashing display are all indicators that the
battery must be replaced. Make certain the unit
is off before replacing the battery. Turn the
battery compartment panel on the back of the
unit in the direction the arrow. Replace the
exhausted battery with a new 3-volt lithium
battery. Note that the lip of the battery must be
placed under the upper metal contact. Turn the
panel back into place. Replacement battery

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
1. MEASUREMENT Button - (large button)
Turns unit on, displays temperature, and
changes display from °C (Celsius) to °F
(Fahrenheit).
2. MODE Button - Changes mode to minimum
or maximum or lock.
OPERATION
Measurement
Press the MEASUREMENT button twice to
capture and display a single temperature
reading. The temperature will be displayed for
approximately 15 seconds and the unit will turn
off. Press and continuously hold down the
MEASUREMENT button to continuously take
temperatures. See the Lock Mode instructions
for continuous measurements
without holding
down the button.
°
C/°F Conversion
To change from °C to °F or °F to °C turn the unit
on by pressing the MEASUREMENT button
once, then press the MODE button four times.
The °C or °F symbol will flash on the display,
press the MEASUREMENT button to change
the symbol, press the MEASUREMENT button
again to confirm the symbol change.
Minimum or Maximum Mode
Use this mode for targets that are continuously
changing temperatures and you wish to
capture only the lowest temperature achieved
or only the highest temperature achieved. The
unit will not simultaneously display minimum and
maximum, one or the other must be selected.
Turn the unit on by pressing the MEASURE-
MENT button once, then press the MODE
button once for minimum only readings or twice
for maximum only readings. The MIN or MAX
symbol will flash on the display, then press and
continuously hold down the MEASUREMENT
button to continuously take temperatures. The
unit will display the minimum temperature ac-
hieved or the maximum temperature achieved
during the time the button is held down.
Lock Mode
The lock mode permits continuous monitoring of
temperatures without continuously holding the
MEASUREMENT button down. Turn the unit on
by pressing the MEASUREMENT button, then
press the MODE button three times. The LOCK
symbol will flash, then press the MEASURE-
MENT button to confirm the lock measurement
mode. The unit will continuously display
temperatures for up to 60 minutes or until the
MEASUREMENT button is pressed.
Measurement Distance
To take a temperature, point the unit at the
surface to be measured and press the
MEASUREMENT button. The unit should be
positioned as close to the target as possible.
Distance from an object can affect accuracy.
The target must completely fill the spot diameter
seen by the infrared sensor; otherwise, the
reading will be influenced by the surface
temperatures surrounding the target. The ratio
of distance to the size of the spot being
measured is 1:1. For example: an object 15 cm
away has an infrared measurement spot
diameter of 15 cm, and object 25 cm away has
an infrared measurement spot diameter of 25
cm. For best accuracy, measure as close to the
target object as possible.
Stand/Key Chain
Use the flip-open stand on the back of the unit
on a bench or desk.. Use the key chain to
fasten the unit to a button hole or loop.
Battery Indicator Display
‘Battery OK’:
measurements are
possible.
‘Battery Low’: battery
needs to be replaced,
measurements are
possible.
‘Battery Exhausted’:
measurements are not
possible.
Error Message Display
‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ is displayed when the temperature
being measured is outside of the range of the
unit, ‘Hi’ when higher than 110°C and ‘Lo’ when
lower than -22°C.
‘Er2’ is displayed when the unit is exposed to
rapid changes in the amibent temperature. ‘Er3’
is displayed when the ambient temperature of
this unit exceeds -10 to 50°C. In both cases allow
plenty of time (minimum 30 minutes) for this
device to stabilize to the working/room
temperature (0 to 40°C).
