ETI Thermapen IR Instrucciones De Operación página 2

INSTRUMENT OPERATION - The Thermapen IR is both a non-contact infrared (IR) and a
penetration probe thermometer:
IR MODE (Probe in closed position) - Aim the thermometer at an object whilst pressing
the Scan button . The target's surface temperature will be displayed. The symbol will
appear in the display and the instrument will continue to measure whilst the Scan button
is held down. When the Scan button is released 'HOLD' is displayed and the reading is
automatically held for 30 seconds after which the thermometer will shut down.
PROBE MODE - Unfold the probe and insert the tip into the medium or substance to be
measured. The instrument will take a few seconds to stabilise. The instrument is turned
off by folding the probe until fully located into the rubber probe retainer. The probe
should not be rotated more than 180 degrees as damage will occur. When not in use, it
is recommended to store the probe in the closed position. The probe tip is very sharp
and therefore caution should be taken when using.
MEASUREMENT ZONE/TARGET DISTANCE - The measurement zone is proportional to the
distance the Thermapen IR is away from the target. The Thermapen IR is equipped with a 5:1
lens. If the target is 10 cm away, the measurement zone will be 2 cm across.
ROTATIONAL DISPLAY - The display will rotate through 90° steps depending on the direction
the instrument is pointing so that it can be used at any angle or in either hand, in both modes.
MAX/MIN - In IR mode, when 'HOLD' is displayed, press the Mode button to show the
maximum or minimum values of the readings previously taken. These values are lost
when the instrument goes into sleep mode after 30 seconds, or if the probe is opened. If
the Scan button is pressed whilst viewing Max/Min values the instrument immediately
measures and reverts back into Hold mode when released. Please note: Max/Min is only
available in IR mode.
INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION - The Thermapen IR has two settings menus that
are accessed depending on the mode in use. Settings in Probe Mode apply to both IR
and Probe measurements whilst settings in IR mode are specific to infrared. Whilst in
settings the LCD will be locked to horizontal rotation.
°C/°F - Whilst in Probe mode press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to enter the
Instrument settings menu. The display will show 'CorF', press the Scan button to change
between °C and °F. Press the Mode button twice to save and exit - 'End' is displayed.
RESOLUTION - Whilst in Probe mode press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds
to enter the Instrument settings menu. Press the Mode button again to display the
resolution (either 1° or 0.1°). Press the Scan button to change the resolution setting and
then press the Mode button to save and exit - 'End' is displayed.
EMISSIVITY - The Thermapen IR is supplied with a default emissivity setting of 0.95, that
can be adjusted between 0.10 and 1.00 when in IR mode. To adjust, hold down the Mode
button for 3 seconds to enter the IR settings menu. Press the Scan button to increase
the value in 0.01 steps or hold the Scan button down to increase the value in 0.1 steps.
Once you have set the required emissivity press the Mode button twice to save and exit
- 'End' is displayed. For information relating to the emissivity of specific materials, please

recommended for measuring the temperature of shiny or polished metals.
AMBIENT – Whilst in IR mode press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to enter
the IR settings menu. Press the Mode button again to view the ambient temperature. To
exit the menu, press the Mode button once more - 'End' is displayed.
