1 Infrared Thermometers Introduction The 561, 566 and 568 Infrared Th ermometers (“the Thermometers” or “the Product”) a re for non-contact temperature measurement. These Thermom eters determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface.
56x Getting Started 2 *W Warning To prevent e ye damage and personal injur y: • Read all safety Information before you use the Product. • Do not look directl y into the laser with optical tools (for example, bi noculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous t o the eye.
Infrared Thermometers Safety Information 3 • Do not connect the opti onal external probe to live electrical circuits. • See emissivity informati on for actual temperatures. Reflective object s result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.
