Control Company 4481 INFRARED THERMOMETER WITH WRISTBAND - Manual

SPECIFICATIONS
Range:
–67° to 482°F / –55° to 250°C
Resolution: 0.1° (-9.9° to 199.9°) 1° (otherwise)
OPERATION
Press and continue to hold down the SCAN button to
take temperature readings. The unit will take
temperature readings while the SCAN button is pressed
and held.
After the SCAN button is released, the last temperature
measured will be displayed for approximately 20
seconds, the display will then turn off automatically.
SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE
Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the
display. Once the display is on (and the SCAN button
has been released), press the MODE button four (4)
times (°F or °C will flash on the display). Press the
SCAN button to switch the unit of measure.
LASER TARGETING
The thermometer will take temperature measurements
without activating the laser targeting by partially
pressing and holding the SCAN button. To take
temperature measurements and activate the laser
targeting, completely press and hold the SCAN button.
CAUTION: Eye damage may result from direct
exposure to laser light.
DISTANCE SPOT/RATIO
There are other factors that may affect measurement
accuracy. The target must completely fill the spot
diameter seen by the infrared sensor; otherwise readings
will be influenced by the surface surrounding the target.
The ratio of the distance to the size of the spot being
measured is 6:1. For example, an object’s diameter of
100mm can be measured from 600mm.
MIN/MAX MODES
MIN Mode – While in the MIN mode, the unit will
display only the minimum temperature that has been
measured while the SCAN button is being pressed. The
display is updated as new minimum temperatures are
measured.
To activate MIN mode:
1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the
display.
2. Press the MODE button until MIN appears on the
display.
3. Press and hold the SCAN button to begin taking
measurements.
MAX Mode – While in the MAX mode, the unit will
display only the maximum temperature that has been
measured while the SCAN button is being pressed. The
display is updated as new maximum temperatures are
measured.
To activate MAX mode:
1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the
display.
2. Press the MODE button until MAX appears on the
display.
3. Press and hold the SCAN button to begin taking
measurements.
LOCK FUNCTION
The lock function allows the thermometer to take
measurements without having to press and hold the
SCAN button. When the lock function is activated, the
unit will take continuous temperature measurements for 60
minutes and will then turn off automatically to preserve
battery life.
To activate the lock mode:
1. Press the SCAN button to turn on the display.
2. Press the MODE button until LOCK flashes on the
display.
3. Press and release the SCAN button to begin taking
temperature measurements (LOCK will appear solid
{not flashing}, to indicate that the unit is in the lock
mode and is taking measurements).
Laser Targeting is not available while in the LOCK mode.
To exit the lock mode, press and release the SCAN button
(LOCK will no longer appear on the display).
EMISSIVITY
The emissivity adjustment is optional. Emissivity
adjustments are used to provide a truer temperature
reading. Different materials radiate infrared energy at
slightly different temperatures. The emissivity adjustment is
used to compensate for different types of materials. The
default emissivity of 0.95 will cover 90% of typical
applications.
The emissivity table provides a guide of different emissivity
values for different materials.
When the emissivity of an object is unknown use a non-
infrared thermometer, such as a thermometer with a
surface probe to measure the object’s surface
temperature. Adjust the emissivity until the temperature of
the infrared thermometer matches the temperature of the
surface probe. The resulting emissivity value from this
method may be used to measure similar materials.
To adjust the emissivity (optional):
1. Press and release the SCAN button to turn on the
display.
2. Press the MODE button five (5) times [95E (or
whatever emissivity value has been set) will appear on
the display].
3. To adjust the emissivity value, partially press the SCAN
button to advance the value. (Completely pressing the
SCAN button while adjusting the emissivity will activate
the laser targeting). Once the maximum value of 100 is
reached, the display will roll over to the minimum value
of 5.
TRACEABLE® INFRARED THERMOMETER WITH WRISTBAND INSTRUCTIONS
The emissivity can be set from 0.05 to 1.00 (5 to 100 on
the display).
4. Once the desired emissivity value appears on the
display, press the MODE button to confirm the value.
This emissivity value will be used for all temperature
measurements until the value is reset.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
HI
Appears when the temperature being measured is
outside the temperature range of the unit (higher
limit).
LO Appears when the temperature being measured is
outside the temperature range of the unit (lower
limit).
Er2 Appears when the unit is exposed to rapid changes
in ambient temperature.
Er3 Appears when the ambient temperature is below
32°F (0°C) or above 122°F (50°C).
Er Appears when the unit needs to be reset. To reset
the unit, remove the batteries, wait 2 minutes and
then reinstall the batteries.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function properly for any
reason, replace the batteries with new high-quality
batteries (see Battery Replacement section). Low battery
power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational difficulties. Replacing the batteries with new
fresh batteries will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, faint readings, no display, or
appearing on the display are all indications that the batteries
must be replaced. Open the battery covers by turning them ⅛
of a turn in the direction of the OPEN arrows (clockwise). (Be
careful not to turn the cover more than ⅛ of a turn, as this
may damage the battery cover.) Remove the exhausted
batteries and replace them with two (2) new CR2032 lithium
batteries. Make certain to install the new batteries with the
positive (+) side facing out. Replace the battery covers by
lining up the tabs and turning the cover approximately 1/8 of a
turn counter-clockwise until the cover snaps into position. (Be
careful not to turn the cover after is has snapped into position,
as this may damage the battery cover.)
