Fluke 80T-IR Thermometer User Manual


 
Compatibility
The probe is compatible with all DC millivolt measuring
instruments that have a minimum of 1 MW input
impedance and accept safety shrouded, standard
diameter 0.16 in. (4 mm) banana plugs.
Operation
To take a measurement, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the red connector into the VW dc input jack
and the black connector into the common or
ground input jack on the test instrument.
2. Select mV dc on the test instrument.
3. Slide the probe switch forward to the "ON"
position.
4. Point the tip of the probe as close as possible to
the object being measured without touching the
object.
5. Read the test instrument display.
Additional considerations are:
· After 10 minutes of use the probe will
automatically shift to Sleep mode (the display will
show 0°F). It can be restarted by sliding the
switch to "OFF" and then to "ON" (see Table 1).
· Sleep mode extends battery life. However, for
maximum battery life, switch the probe to the
"OFF" position.
· If the test instrument displays an overload
condition, switch the DMM range from mV dc to V
dc. Increasing the range to V dc moves the
decimal position three places to the left (1000°F
displays as 1.000V dc).
