Pre-Operation Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect your infrared thermometer and cor-
rect any problems to reduce the risk of injury or incorrect
measurements.
Do not look into the laser beam. Looking into the laser beam
may be hazardous to the eyes.
1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from equipment. This aids inspec-
tion.
2. Inspect the micro IR-100 for any broken, worn, missing, mis-
aligned or binding parts, or any other condition which may pre-
vent safe and normal operation.
3. Check that the warning labels are present, firmly attached and
readable. (See Figure 6.)
4. If any issues are found during the inspection, do not use the in-
frared thermometer until it has been properly serviced.
5. Following the Operation Instructions, turn the infrared ther-
mometer ON, make a measurement and confirm the same
measurement with another instrument (contact thermometer,
etc.). If the correlation between the measurements is not ac-
ceptable, do not use the infrared thermometer until it has been
properly serviced.
