WARNING
IF TARGET EMMISSIVITY IS LESS THAN 0.95, THE
PROBE CAN INDICATE A TEMPERATURE LOWER
THAN THE ACTUAL TARGET TEMPERATURE.
AVOID TOUCHING THE TARGET; THERMAL BURNS
COULD RESULT.
CAUTION
·
  Do not place the probe on or around hot objects (70°C
/ 158°F). It will damage the probe case.
 
·
  If the probe is exposed to significant changes in
ambient temperature (hot to cold or cold to hot),
allow 20 minutes for temperature stabilization,
before taking measurements.
 
·
  Do not operate the probe near large electrical or
magnetic fields such as arc welders and
induction heaters. These fields can cause
measurement errors.
 
·
  Condensation may form on the lens when going
from a cold to hot environment - wait 10 minutes
for condensation to dissipate before taking
measurements.
 
·
  Connectors must only be plugged into voltage
measurement input jacks of the test instruments.
 
·
  Do not touch or hold by the front cone.
Temperature readings can be affected by heat
from the hand.
 
·
  Equipment use not specified by manufacturer
may impair safety.
