Software Ver. 1.11
To use the thermometer correctly and safely, please keep the following safety measures for the
operation and storage of the thermometer.
This instruction manual is for the thermometer with the software version 1.11.
The software version of your thermometer is indicated in the label on the front side.
(Ref to [3.1. Views]).
1. Working conditions and environment
Make sure to press any keys until you hear an audible beep. (Except for some operations)
∙ The thermometer is designed as a portable type. Use a tripod or a simple type universal head for
∙
∙
∙
∙
∙
∙
long term or fixed mounting measurement.
The working temperature range of the thermometer is 0(32ºF) to 50°C (122ºF). (No dew
condensation)
Do not use the thermometer in dusty places, etc. Remove dust after using it. (For the cleaning of
cover glass, refer to [7.3 Cleaning of objective glass] and, for the cleaning of external display and
eyepiece cover, refer to [7.4 Cleaning of external display and eyepiece cover].)
Be careful not to give vibration or impact to the thermometer.
When the thermometer is not used, take out batteries from it to prevent battery exhaustion.
For avoiding battery exhaustion, an auto-power-off function is built in the thermometer. If no key
is pressed for 15 seconds in the hold mode, the power supply is automatically turned off.
Avoid measuring shiny objects. Shiny objects reflect surrounding temperatures. The emissivity
rate of the thermometer can be adjusted to compensate for this problem.
2. Storage
∙ Do not store the thermometer in hot and humid places. Make sure to store the thermometer with
the lens cap. Recommend to store the thermometer in room temperature with a dry pill.
∙ Do not leave the thermometer in a car or its trunk room since the inside temperature will be
extremely high in summer. The thermometer may have troubles.
∙ When the thermometer is not used for 2 weeks or more, take out the batteries from it. Otherwise,
the thermometer may be damaged by liquid leakage of the batteries.
∙ When the thermometer has any trouble, please contact to your sales agent of Optex.

Warning
（May cause death or serious injury）
Make sure not see the sun through the viewfinder of the thermometer.
It may cause becoming blind.
Never directly face the objective lens to the sun to protect the detecting element.
For the measurement of high temperature objects, refer to the clause of [5.3 Cautions
on measurement].
Never operate the thermometer in places where combustible or volatile gas exists.
It is extremely dangerous to use the thermometer in such environment.
Never put the batteries into fire, or never charge, short-circuit, heat or disassembly
the batteries.
Breaking or heating of the batteries may cause fire or injury.
Never use the thermometer if it has been broken, smoking or nasty smelling.
These may cause fire. When the thermometer is broken, smoking, or nasty smelling,
turn the power supply switch off at once and take out the batteries from the
thermometer, and contact to your sales agent of Optex.
Caution（May cause injury or physical damage)
!
Do not use other batteries than the batteries specified.
Load the batteries so that their polarities meet the polarity marks on the battery case.
Different polarities may cause fire, injury or damage by burst or liquid leakage of the
batteries.
Do not walk while sighting through the viewfinder of the thermometer.
It may cause accidents like as falling down.
!
Never take the thermometer apart or convert it.
These may cause trouble and danger.
!
Read the entire contents in this instruction manual to have the thermometer function
perfectly.
!
Dispose the batteries used to places specified with the disposal procedure specified.

This mode is for measurement with holding the thermometer by hands.
• Sight through the viewfinder and match the center circle of the targeting circle to the center of
object measured.
• Press MEAS key for about 1 second to turn on the power supply and start a measurement.
The temperature measured will be displayed in the internal and external displays, and the status
marker “MEAS” will light in the external display.

This mode is for continuous measurement by fixing the thermometer on a tripod or a universal head.
• Sight through the viewfinder and match the center circle of the targeting mark to the center of
object measured.
• For the continuous measurement mode, press MEAS key while pressing ▽ key.
When all segments of the external display (Ref. 3.3 [External display]) light, release MEAS key

Warning
o
Warning • For the measurement of object exceeding 1500 C (2732°F), make sure to set the
beam attenuation filter selector knob to "ON" (beam attenuation side) for
protecting your eyes. (Refer to the above figure.)
• However, when you feel glare on the measurement of objects lower than 1500oC
(2732°F), set the beam attenuation filter selector knob to "ON" (beam attenuation
side). (Refer to the above figure.)
Caution
• Light path
Be careful not to introduce water drops, dust particles, smoke, steam, or other
foreign substances into the light path between the object measured and the
objective lens of the thermometer.
• Interference causing high indication
Be careful not to apply the direct sunlight, light of an incandescent lamp, flame or
other thermal radiation to the object measured and the objective lens of the
thermometer.

5.4 Emissivity rate setting
This is for the setting of a correct emissivity rate of an object measured. Principally, when you measure the
object with the single color type, set the emissivity rate if you have already known its value.
• Press MEAS key for about 1 second to turn on the power supply and then release MEAS key.
The status marker "HOLD" will light.

• When an emissivity rate is unknown, adjust the emissivity rate to get the same
temperature value as the value measured by a thermocouple.

Measured value by the thermometer > Measured value by a thermocouple
⇒ Increase the emissivity rate
Measured value by the thermometer < Measured value by a thermocouple
