Precautions for using Fluke 561 Infrared Thermometer
Precautions when using
Locate the hot spot. To find the hot spot, the instrument aims at the target, and then scans up and down on the target until the hot spot is determined.
Temperature measurement cannot be performed through glass, glass has very special reflection and transmission characteristics, which does not allow accurate infrared temperature readings. But the temperature can be measured through the infrared window. Infrared thermometers should not be used for temperature measurement on bright or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.).
Only the surface temperature is measured, the infrared thermometer cannot measure the internal temperature.
Be aware of ambient conditions: steam, dust, smoke, etc. It blocks the optical system of the instrument and affects accurate temperature measurement.
Ambient temperature, if the thermometer is suddenly exposed to an ambient temperature difference of 20°C or higher, allow the instrument to adjust to the new ambient temperature within 20 minutes.
1. To avoid damaging the infrared thermometer, please use compressed air to remove large particles and dust first, then wipe it with a piece of cloth.
2. Gently use slightly moistened non-corrosive solution or mild diluted soap solution (solution or mild diluted soap solution (never use soluble soft cotton cloth to wipe the lens (do not immerse the cloth in liquid) Wipe the lens with a soft cotton cloth (do not soak the cloth in the liquid). Use a clean computer monitor cleaning cloth to gently wipe the display.
3. Gently wipe the display screen with a clean computer monitor cleaning cloth.
4. Use a clean slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the body of the thermometer. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a solution of water and a little mild soap.
5. After use, please cover the infrared thermometer with the lens cover as soon as possible, and put it in the carrying case for storage.
