WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
WARNING: LASER RADIATION. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Class II Laser
• Exposing eyes to laser radiation can result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
NEVER look directly into the laser beam emitted by this instrument.
• Do not use the instrument if the case is damaged in any way.
• Do not modify the instrument in any way, as to do so could result in emission of
hazardous laser radiation than could result in severe and permanent eye injuries
• Do not use optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical scopes, etc. to
transmit, retransmit, or view the laser beam as this could result in severe and
permanent eye injuries.
• This product should not be used in any location that could result in somebody
looking at or having their eyes inadvertently irradiated by the laser beam as this
could result in severe and permanent eye injuries.
• This product should not be used by untrained operators or operators who have not
read and fully understood the instructions.
• Do not remove warning labels from this instrument as this could result in serious
personal injury and increases the risk of exposure to hazardous laser irradiation
• Discontinue using the instrument immediately if it is acting abnormally.
• Be cautious of infrared temperature measurements of reflective materials as
the instrument may indicate that these surfaces are cooler than their actual
temperature (see Emissivity section).
• Do not apply voltage to the K-type thermocouple probe.
• This instrument is IP54 dust & water resistant. Following any contact with water,
thoroughly dry the instrument with a dry, lint-free cloth
• There are no user serviceable parts in this instrument.
SAFE PRACTICES
This meter is designed for professionals who understand the hazards
associated with their trade. While this meter causes no foreseeable dangers
beyond its targeting lasers; the objects being measured, as well as the
environment in which they reside, can be hazardous. Common safety
practices to follow when operating near temperature critical environments are:
• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance procedures when servicing equipment
• Before using this meter to determine if an area is safe, verify correct operation by
measuring a known temperature value of a comparable object

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TARGETING LASERS
The IR10 features dual lasers 8 to assist in targeting the measurement area.
The distance between the two laser spots on the surface of the object being
measured approximates the diameter of the circular measurement area from
which the infrared sensor is collecting data. Measurement areas located far
away from the meter will be larger than those close to the meter. Press and
hold the SET button 2 to activate/deactivate the targeting lasers 8 .
When on, the laser icon B will appear on the display 4 . NOTE: Lasers are
automatically disabled when measuring using the K-type probe 9 .
The meter is configured with 20:1 optical resolution (distance-to-spot
ratio). The distance-to-spot ratio defines the size of the measurement
area relative to the distance between the measurement location and the IR
sensor 7 . Typical diameters of the measurement area as a function of the
distance between the meter and the target area are depicted below for 20:1
optical systems (Fig. 1).

IR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
By default, IR10 measures temperature by sensing IR emission 7 from
surfaces. Pull the trigger 5 and aim the targeting lasers 8 at the object
to be measured to initiate a measurement event. The meter will continue to
sample while the trigger is held depressed. Releasing the trigger ends the
measurement event. The results are held on the display for 15 seconds and in
the absence of other activity, the meter automatically powers off (APO).
K-TYPE PROBE MEASUREMENTS
K-type probe measurements are active whenever the probe is inserted into
the K-Type Probe Jack 9 . K-Type will be illuminated on the display 4 ,
and the IR measurement functions will be disabled. Pull and release the
trigger to initiate a measurement event. A subsequent pull of the trigger ends
the measurement event. If a measurement event is not ended via a trigger
pull, it times out and ends automatically after 10mins. At the end of the
measurement event, the results are held on the display 4 for 15 seconds
and in the absence of other activity, the meter automatically powers off (APO).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DATA HOLD
Data is held on the display for 15 seconds following the end of any
measurement event. HOLD J appears on the display.
AUTO POWER-OFF (APO)
At the end of any measurement event, the meter automatically powers off
after 15 seconds of inactivity.
BACKLIGHT
Press and hold the MODE button 1 to activate / deactivate the backlight.
STATISTICS
MIN / MAX / AVG /DIFF statistical parameters are specific to the current or
most recent measurement event. Following the end of measurement event,
before auto power-off occurs, subsequent presses of the MODE button 1
may be used to toggle through the parameters.
SETTINGS
Settings are accessed by pushing the SET button 2 when the meter is
in HOLD status. Subsequent pushes of the SET button toggle through the
various settings options. The settings menu may be exited at any time by
pulling the trigger 5 or by toggling through all available options.
• EMISSIVITY: Emissivity may be set by using the UP/DOWN buttons 3 .
This setting is not available if the K-type probe is inserted into the meter
• °F / °C: Press the MODE button 1 to switch between Fahrenheit and
Celcius temperature scales. The meter will remain in the scale selected
following power on/off cycles
• HI: High temperature alarm. Press…
