Safety warnings
■ Tampering or technical
modifications will result in
the loss of warranty cover
and exemption from liability.
■ Do not expose the device to
any major mechanical strain
or strong vibration.
■ The device must not be ex-
posed to high levels of air
humidity nor must it be al-
lowed to get wet. Outdoors,
the device must only be
used in appropriate weather
conditions or provided with
appropriate protection.
■ Smoke, dust, steam and/or
other vapours may adverse-
ly affect the HL-Scan's opti-
cal system and lead to in-
correct results being dis-
played.
■ Before use, please wait until
the device has acclimatised
to ambient temperature.
■ Switch the device OFF and
prevent it from being
switched ON unintentionally
if it must be assumed that
safe operation cannot be
ensured. e.g. if
- the device shows visible
damage
- the device does not
work or
- the device has be exposed
to adverse conditions for a
prolonged period
- the product has been
exposed to severe strain
in transit.
Designed for use with Steinel hot-air tools,
HL-Scan is a temperature scanner that uses
infrared for measuring temperature on a con-
tactless basis. During use, HL-Scan gives you
an acoustic and visual warning if the tempera-
ture measured exceeds or falls below the tem-
perature selected. HL-Scan is powered by a
9V block battery.
Please familiarise yourself with these operating
instructions before using this product because
prolonged reliable and trouble-free operation
will only be ensured if it is handled properly.

HL-Scan measures an object's surface tem-
perature. The heat radiation reflected from and
passing through the object is detected by the
tool's sensor. This information is then convert-
ed into a temperature reading. Emissivity is a
value used to describe the relative ability of a
material to emit thermal energy by radiation
(characteristic "radiance").
The higher the emissivity, the more capable
the material is of emitting thermal energy. Most
organic materials and surfaces have a emissiv-
ity coefficient of approx. 0.90. Metallic sur-
faces or shiny materials have a lower emissivi-
ty coefficient. HL-Scan's emissivity can be se-
lected so as to rule out imprecise measured
values.
How it works
■ This device may be used by
children aged 8 or above
and by persons with re-
duced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if
they are supervised or have
been given instructions on
how to use the tool safely
and understand the hazards
involved. Do not allow chil-
dren to play with the device.
Children are not allowed to
clean or carry out mainte-
nance work on the device
without supervision.
■ Never look into the LED light
beam and never aim it at
persons or animals.
