Infrared Thermometers Introduction The 561, 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers (“the Thermometers” or “the Product”) are for non-contact temperature measurement. These Thermometers determine an object’s surface temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the object’s surface. The Thermometers also support contact-temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. Note that the Japanese models indicate Celsius only. Safety Information A Warning identifies condit

56x Getting Started *WWarning To prevent eye damage and personal injury: • Read all safety Information before you use the Product. • Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye. • Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces. • Do not use laser viewing glasses as laser protection glasses.

Infrared Thermometers Safety Information • Do not connect the optional external probe to live electrical circuits. • See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard. • Do not leave the Product on or near objects of high temperature. • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation expo
