UEi UGI INF200 - Manual (Page 5)

You’re now ready to adjust the alarm’s threshold value, displayed on the
LCD. To decrease the value press the “˚F/˚C/▼” push-button. To
increase this value, press the “ /▲“ push-button. To lock this value
in, once again, press the “MODE” push-button again.
The alarm settings (whatever is displayed at the time) are instantly
saved if, at any time during the alarm setting process, the instrument
either shuts off after five seconds of inactivity or the trigger is pulled.
Emissivity Adjustment
When a process calls for repeated measurements of like materials,
such as evaluating a plastic’s solidity at a processing plant, the best
method of attaining quick, reliable temperature readings is to adjust
the emissivity setting of your INF200.
To set emissivity you must pass through the alarm setting function. As
described earlier, press and hold the “MODE” push-button until an
audible tone is heard, and the LCD displays the alarm adjustment
function. Do not pull the trigger, or let the instrument time-out and turn
off. Press the “MODE” push-button once more to display the current
emissivity value.
To decrease the value press the “˚F/˚C/▼” push-button. To increase the
value, press the “ /▲“ push-button.
To exit and save the newly set value, press the “MODE” push-button
again, let the instrument time-out in five seconds, or pull the trigger.
The value last entered for emissivity will become the instrument’s
default next time it is used. If the instrument will be used on various
surfaces or by various people for different applications, it is a good
practice to reset the emissivity value to .95 before returning it
to storage.
Knowing the emissivity value your instrument is set at may prevent
the collection of erroneous data that could result in unnecessary, time
consuming and costly process step adjustments.
Laser Targeting
CAUTION!
DO NOT point the laser at the eyes or face of any human or animal.
Eye damage may result from direct exposure to laser light. Reflective
laser light, from mirrors, glass, etc. can also cause eye damage. Laser
is effective for hundreds of feet. Be aware of what or who is in your
line of sight. Keep this device away from children, except under direct
adult supervision.
To toggle the laser targeting feature on, or off depress the “LASER”
push-button while pulling the trigger. You can engage the laser function
from any of the five measurement modes (see section four to review
the measurement modes). Once selected, the laser light is activated
each time the trigger is pulled until it has been toggled off.
NOTE: The laser remains on for approximately 1/2 second after the
trigger is released.

Service
WARNING!
Repair and service of this instrument is to be performed by qualified
personnel only. Improper repair or service could result in physical
degradation of the meter. This could alter the protection from electrical
shock and personal injury this meter provides to the operator. Perform
only those maintenance tasks that you are qualified to do.
These guidelines will help you attain long and reliable service from
your meter:
1. Keep your meter dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
2. Whenever pra c t i cal, keep the instrument away from dust and dirt,
which can cause premature wear and collect on internal components.
3. Although your i n s t r u m e n t is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, it
can be damaged by severe impacts. Use reasonable caution when
using and storing the meter.
NOTE: When servicing the instrument, use only the replacement
parts specified.
Battery: 9V, NEDA 1604 or IEC 6LR 61
Cleaning and Decontamination
Periodically clean your instrument's case using a damp cloth. DO NOT
use abrasives, cleaning solvents or strong detergents, as they may
damage the finish or affect the reliability of the structural components.
When the infrared lens becomes contaminated, try removing any debris
with low pressure compressed air, such as that used on computer
keyboards. If the contaminant can not be removed with air, use a
residue free glass cleaning solution on the end of a soft cotton swab.
The swab should be slightly damp, and very light pressure should be
applied to the lens.
Battery Replacement
Always use a fresh replacement battery of the specified size and ty p e .
Immediately remove the old or weak battery from the meter and dispose
of it in accordance with your local disposal regulations. Old or defective
batteries can leak chemicals that corrode electronic circuits.
To remove and replace the battery, turn the instrument upside down; and
slide the battery access panel (a plate at the bottom of the pistol grip)
f o rward with your thumb.
Carefully remove the battery from the battery clip. A small flat-blade screw
driver may be used to gently pry the clips away from the battery posts.
When placing a new battery in the clip, make sure the clip fits tight around
both posts of the battery. Some batteries are slightly larger or smaller than
others. If necessary, compress the metal prongs on the clip to get a tight fit
on the new battery.
Ensure the small red and black wires are not in a position to be
pinched or cut, as the battery is replaced in its slot. Replace the battery
access cover.
