Connecting the IR-System to the PC
Make certain that your Infrared Thermometer is powered
down before you attempt to make any connections to the
personal computer. Making connections between powered
devices and a powered PC can cause damage to
communications ports, or other electronic circuitry in your
device or computer.
1. With the thermometer device powered down, connect the
enclosed serial communications cable to the device.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the desired
communications port of the personal computer. Usually,
it is located in the back of the unit.
3. Pull the trigger and press the key to turn on the
thermometer. Point the thermometer to your target, and
make certain that you are reading a temperature. Do not
begin to print (send) data at this time.
