Intended Use
The infrared thermometer is a measuring device for contactless temperature measurement. It
determines the temperature by infrared energy that is emitted by an object and by its emission
ratio. It is especially useful to measure the temperature of hot, difficult accessable or moving
objects. The infrared thermometer measures the surface temperature of an object. It cannot
measure through transparent surfaces like glass or plastics. Its temperature measuring range
reaches from -50°C to 650°C (IR 650-12D) and from -50°C to 800°C (IR 800-20D),
respectively. A 9V block battery is required for voltage supply.
This product is EMC-tested and meets the requirements of the applicable European and
national guidelines. Proof of CE conformity has been established and the corresponding
declarations are obtainable from the manufacturer.
Uses other than those described above are not permitted. They can lead to damage to the pro-
duct. Moreover, it will cause danger such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc.. Read the
operating instructions carefully and keep them for later reference.

Operating Instructions
The warranty will lapse in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for material and
personal damage caused by improper use or non-compliance with the safety
instructions! An exclamation mark indicates important notes in these
operating instructions that should always be observed.
For safety and approval reasons (CE), the unauthorized conversion and/or
modification of the product is prohibited.
The appliance should not be exposed to strong vibration or heavy mechanical
stress.
Do not expose the product to electromagnetic fields, extreme temperatures, direct
intensive solar radiation or moisture.
Do not expose the product to high humidity or liquids. On outdoor use the app-
liance must only be operated under respective weather conditions and only with
the appropriate safety devices.
Moisture, dust, fume and/or vapours can affect the optics of the thermometer and
thusly the measuring results.
Never use optical instruments and never look directly into laser beam.
Ꮩ
Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflecting areas.
Do not point the laser beam directly at persons or animals. Laser radiation may
lead to eye or skin injuries.
This product is equipped with a class 2 laser according to EN 60825-1:2007.
Caution: Operating this product or changing the setting differently that sug-
gested by this operating manual can lead to dangerous radiation.
The device should not be taken into operation immediately after it has been
brought from a cold ambient temperature into a warm room. Condensate may
destroy the device. Likewise can the lense become misty which can lead to
mismeasurements. Wait until the product has reached ambient temperature
before using it.
If you should have reasons to assume that safe operation is no longer ensured, turn off the
device and secure it against accidental activation. Safe operation is no longer ensured, when:
- the device shows visible signs of damage,
- the device no longer functions or
- the product has been stored under unfavourable conditions for a longer period of time,
- the product has been exposed to strong stress during transportation.
The device is not a toy. Keep it away from children and pets!
On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial
workers’ societies for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed. In schools, training
facilities, hobby and self-help-workshops, the operation of electric appliances is to be super-
vising by trained personnel.
Maintenance, adjustment, or repair may only be carried out by a specialist/specialised work-
shop.

Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries. Remove the
battery, if you are not going to use the device for a while, to prevent damage from
leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause acid
burns upon contact with skin. Thus, you should wear protective gloves when hand-
ling damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Keep them out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around. There is
the risk that the batteries may be swallowed by children or pets. Replace all
batteries at the same time.
Do not dismantle batteries and avoid short-circuits and contact to fire. Never
charge conventional, non-rechargeable batteries. They might explode.
