FAQs

What is the distance to spot ratio?

The Draper Infrared Thermometer has a 12:1 distance to spot ratio, meaning it measures a 1-inch area from 12 inches away.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses one PP3 battery (code 38240).

How do I change the temperature unit?

Refer to the user manual for instructions on changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the lens. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is emissivity and why is it important?

Emissivity is a measure of a material's ability to emit infrared energy. Setting the correct emissivity for the material being measured ensures accurate temperature readings.

What is the maximum temperature alarm?

The maximum temperature alarm alerts you when the measured temperature exceeds a pre-set value. Refer to the user manual on how to set the alarm.

Can I use this thermometer on moving parts?

Yes, but be cautious and ensure a safe distance. Always prioritize safety when using the device.

Troubleshooting

Thermometer does not turn on.

Check the battery and ensure it is installed correctly. Replace the battery if necessary.

Temperature readings are inaccurate.

Ensure the correct emissivity setting for the material being measured. Check the distance to the target is within the specified range (based on the 12:1 ratio). Make sure the lens is clean.

The laser guide is not working.

Ensure the laser guide is enabled in the settings. Check the battery level. If the issue persists, the unit may need servicing.

Display shows an error message.

Consult the user manual for the specific error code and recommended solution. This may involve replacing the battery or recalibrating the device.

Pros and Cons

  • Compact and portable design enhances convenience.

Cons

  • Requires a battery (PP3) which needs to be replaced.
  • Accuracy can be affected by surface emissivity; requires correct settings.
  • Readings are of surface temperature, not internal temperatures.
  • May be affected by environmental factors like ambient temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Battery Installation: Install a 1 x PP3 battery (code 38240) in the battery compartment. Ensure correct polarity.
  2. Power On/Off: Press the trigger to turn the device on and off.
  3. Measurement: Point the thermometer at the target surface, pull the trigger, and read the temperature on the display.
  4. Distance to Spot Ratio: The 12:1 ratio means that for every 12 inches of distance, the thermometer measures a 1-inch area. Maintain the correct distance for accurate readings.
  5. Emissivity: For best results, adjust the emissivity setting according to the material being measured. Refer to the included manual for recommended settings.
  6. Care:
  • Clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Do not immerse the device in water.
  • Store in a cool, dry place.
