SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in dangerous radiation exposure.
The IRT659K is a Class 3R laser product that emits less than 3mW of radiation
at a wavelength of 655nm. Avoid looking directly at the laser pointer. U.S. law
prohibits pointing a laser beam at aircraft; doing so is punishable by a fine of up
to $10,000 and imprisonment.
The laser may cause discomfort if viewed directly. Your eyes’ natural aversion
reflex will prevent you from looking at the beam long enough to cause harm.
As a precaution, keep the IRT659K out of the hands of children, especially if you
have pets.
Never stare at the laser beam through binoculars or a magnifying glass.
Do not operate the IRT in the presence of flammable or explosive gases or in
environments full of dust or static electricity.
Do not operate the unit near a source of a strong electromagnetic field, such as
an arc welder or an induction heater.
Be careful not to burn yourself when attaching the thermocouple probe to a hot
surface.
WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE
The IRT659K comes in a blister pack along with a “9V” battery, a nylon pouch
and this user’s manual. A wide temperature range “K” type stem thermocouple
is inside the pouch.
