Operating Instructions

Taking Measurements

To take a temperature measurement using your INF195, you

simply point the aperture at an object (with or without using

the laser sighting) and pull the trigger. The object’s

temperature will show up on the display and update at a rate

of approximately 2 times per second.

There will be a delay of approximately one-second between

the time you initially pull the trigger and the time the display

comes on. The 60-second auto-hold initiates at the moment

you release the trigger.

NOTE: This thermometer will automatically shut off if left

idle for more than 60 seconds, unless in PRB mode. When in

PRB mode, instrument will shut off if left idle for more than

12 minutes.

Follow these general guidelines to ensure you get the most

accurate readings possible:

• Besurethemeasuredobjectfillsthe“spot”seenby

the aperture. The distance to spot ratio for the INF195

is 12:1.

This shows the one-foot spot fitting within the one-foot tar-

get area. At this distance, and anything closer, the

target’s temperature will be accurately measured.

NOTE: If the two-foot diameter spot includes unwanted

objects in the background that are not part of the

one-foot square target. The temperature of the

background objects will be figured in with the target’s tem-

perature and throw off your measurement.

•Whencomparingtemperaturesofsimilarobjects

that are far away, take your measurements at the

same distance and angle to the target each time.

•Whenlookingforabnormallyhotorcoldtargetsit

may be acceptable to include background objects

so long as the temperatures in the background

and your methods are consistent.

•Considertheemissivityoftheobjectsyou

are measuring.

•Prepareasurfaceformeasurement.Infrared

thermometers measure only the outer surface of

an object. If emissivity is affecting the

measurement, or you have difficulty putting the

object in the sensors line-of-site, you may need to

prepare a surface that’s easy for the infrared

thermometer to read. A piece of masking tape is a

good target and it will rapidly take on the

temperature of the object it is attached to.

•Beawarethatyoucannotmeasurethe

temperature of air between the Infrared

thermometer and an object. Air vents (registers)

are quick to take on the temperature of outlet air.

However, you must aim directly at the vent if you

are measuring outlet air temperature.

•Keepyourinfraredthermometerawayfrom

  strongelectricalfields.Whenworkingneara

strong electrical field, like that under the hood of

  yourcar,watchforunusualreadingsoran“over

  load”indication.Often,youcanmovethe

thermometer just a few inches to escape the

influence of the interference.

•KeepyourINF195withinitsuseandstorage

temperature range. Excessive heat or cold will

adversely affect the accuracy of your readings.

  Whenthetriggerispulledthetarget’s

temperature will be displayed in a near real-time

mode (less than 1/2 second between

measurements). The temperature will remain

on the display for seven seconds after the trigger

is released.

Emissivity

Not all surfaces emit infrared energy at the same

level. A shiny surface will emit much less infrared

energy at a given temperature when compared to

a flat black surface. The INF195 has three preset

emissivity levels used to compensate for variances

in your target.

High (0.95) will work for most common surfaces

and is set as default for many infrared

thermometers. Medium (070) is best for oxidized

copper or rusty iron. Use Low (0.30) for surfaces

that emit less energy such as aluminum or brass.
