Infrared Thermometers Introduction The 561, 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (“the Thermometers” or “the Product”) are for non-contact temperature measurement. These Thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface. The Thermometers also support contact-temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. Note that the Japanese models indicate Celsius only.
56x Getting Started *WWarning To prevent eye damage and personal injury: 2 • Read all safety Information before you use the Product. • Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye. • Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces. • Do not use laser viewing glasses as laser protection glasses.
Infrared Thermometers Safety Information • Do not connect the optional external probe to live electrical circuits. • See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard. • Do not leave the Product on or near objects of high temperature. • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Infrared Thermometers Using the Thermometer Using the Thermometer To take a temperature reading, point the Thermometer at the desired object and pull the trigger. You can use the laser pointer to help aim the Thermometer. You may also insert the K-type thermocouple probe for contact measurement. Changing Batteries To change the batteries, see Figure 3. AA (+) ewm04.eps Figure 3.
56x Getting Started Cable Connections (568 Only) To connect the USB and Thermocouple to the 568, see Figure 4. ewm05.eps Figure 4. Connecting the K-Type Thermocouple, USB Cable (568 Only) Note To prevent incorrect readings, do not perform a temperature measurement of an earthed conductor while the 568 is connected to a PC that is earthed by a threephase grounding plug. 561 Display The primary temperature display reports the current or last IR temperature read until the 7-second hold time elapses.
