2.4 Temperature Measurements
2.4.1 General Operation
CAUTION... SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT TOUCH THE INSTRUMENT
TO ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS*
The DX™ measures temperature very quickly. To obtain an
accurate measurement, it is only necessary to touch the
surface for a fraction of a second.
For exact surface temperature measurements that are NIST
traceable, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the MEASURE button.
2. The display will briefly show [8888].
3. Touch the nosepiece to the target surface.
4. The display may or may not change, but the "beeping"
sound will indicate that measurements are being
made.
5. Record the temperature from the display.
6. Release the MEASURE button. The last reading will
remain locked on the display for 10 seconds after
releasing the button.
*If the target is electrical equipment, Exergen manufactures
the Model E Microscanner instruments for safe andconve-
nient inspection of electrical equipment. Contact Exergen
for more information on the Model E line of instruments and
electrical inspection. If the surface is metallic, be sure to
mark it as described in the Measurement Tips section in
Chapter Three.
