1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 DESCRIPTION ® ™ The Raynger 3i series of instruments are portable infrared temperature measure- ment devices. Each model is rugged and easy to use for making fast, noncontact, non- destructive temperature measurements. They can measure operating temperatures of mechanical, electrical, or production equipment without removing the equipment from service. They can also measure product temperatures during manufacturing or storage without contaminating or marring the product.

2.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION An infrared thermometer and the human eye are very similar. An infrared ther- mometer has a lens that focuses infrared radiation from an object onto a detector. The eye focuses light onto the retina. The detector is stimulated by the incoming infrared energy and produces a signal that is transmitted to the circuitry. The retina is stimu- lated by incoming light and sends a signal to the brain. The circuitry processes this signal and computes the temperature of th

Your portable thermometer has the following: Trigger—Two-stage trigger. The first stage activates the unit to take temperature readings. The second stage is functional only in the datalog mode. To store a tem- perature reading, pull the trigger all the way in until you hear the tone (the tone signals that the reading has been stored). When you release the trigger, the unit goes to sleep. Control Panel and Display—All controls (except the trigger) are located on the control panel. The di

2.4 OPERATION AND CONTROLS This section instructs you in the operation of the instrument. It describes battery and/or AC adaptor installation and the controls and functions of the different control loops and operating modes. 2.4.1 Battery/AC Adaptor Installation The instrument may be powered by batteries or an AC adaptor. Battery power is sup- plied by 4 “AA” batteries. The batteries are located in the base of the handle. AC power is supplied by an optional AC power adaptor (DIN VDE 0551 app
