4. Operating Instructions Taking Measurements To take a temperature measurement using your INF185 215 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 The maximum temperature is viewed beside the MAX icon 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 e Be sure the measured object fills the spot seen by the aperture The distance to spot ratio for the INF185 Is 12 1 The distance to spot ratio for the INF215 is 30 1 This shows the one foot spot fitting within the one foot target area At this distance and anything closer the target s temperature will be accurately measured Fig 1 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 temperature and throw off your measurement
