General Tools and Instruments IRT207 - Manual

1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the new IRT207
Heat Seeker
TM InfraRed Thermometer (IRT). This IRT is
an 8:1 non-contact temperature measuring instrument
using infrared technology and laser sighting. Features
include a 4 digit backlit LCD, scan/hold function and
auto power off (7 secs). To measure a temperature,
point the unit at the object, pull the measuring trigger
and hold. Make sure the target area is larger than the
unit’s spot size.
2. Safety Information
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• DO NOT submerge the unit in water.
• This product is not designed for use in medical
evaluations. The product can only be used to
measure body temperature simply for reference.
The IRT is meant for industrial and commercial uses.
LASER WARNING NOTE!
Do not point laser directly at eye.
Use caution around reflective surfaces.
Keep out of reach of children.
This instrument conforms to the following standards:
EN61326: Electrical equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory use.
IEC61000-4-2: Electrostatic discharge immunity test.
IEC61000-4-3: Radiated, radio-frequency,
electromagnetic field immunity test.
IEC61000-4-8: Power frequency magnetic field immunity
test.
Tests were conducted using a frequency range of
80-1000MHz with the instrument in three orientations.
The average error for the three orientations
is ±1.0ºF (±0.5ºC) at 3V/m throughout
the spectrum. However, between
781-1000MHz at 3V/m,
the instrument may not
meet its stated accuracy.

4. Operation of Instrument
4-1 Quick Start
To measure a temperature, point the unit at the target you
want to measure, pull the trigger and hold. Move closer to
or farther from the target until it appears about the same
size as the laser’s circular measurement ‘spot’, which has
a D:S ratio (Field of View) of 8:1. The single spot of laser
is used for aiming purposes only.
The unit displays temperatures in either ºF or ºC.
Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops
below the voltage for reliable operation and the low
battery symbol
appears.

5. Maintenance
Cleaning the lens: Blow off loose particles using clean
compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away
with a camel’s hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface
with a moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened
with water.
NOTE:
DO NOT use solvents to clean the glass lens.
Cleaning the housing:
Use soap and water on a damp sponge or soft cloth.
