MODEL 42560

      The MODEL 42560 is a infraRed (IR) thermometer
with wireless datalogger, Type K input & Laser Pointer.The MODEL 42560 IR thermometer measures and displays non-contact (infrared) surface temperature to a maximum of 1922oF (1050oC). The built-in laser pointer increases target accuracy while the backlit LCD and handy push-buttons combine for convenient,ergonomic operation. The Type K thermocouple input provides contact measurements up to 2498oF (1370oC)*. Adjustable emissivity allows the IR thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of virtually any surface.
      The MODEL 42560 is also a datalogging instrument for use with the supplied wireless USB datalogging kit. The kit includes PC software and a USB data receiver (915MHz).The instrument also includes a 20-reading internal memory bank.Other special features include Test Lock, High-Low Alarm display, and MAX-MIN-DIFAVG memory.This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.The supplied thermocouple is rated to a temperature of 482oF (250oC) maximum.
      The MODEL 42560 has 3 safty.The first one is use extreme caution when the laser pointer is on.The second one is do not point the beam toward anyone's eye or allow the beam to strike the eye from a reflective surface.The third one is do not use the laser near explosive gases or in other potentially explosive areas.
      The MODEL 42560 has some operating instructions.The first one is power.The meter is powered by one (1) 9V battery.The transmitter base can also be powered by the 9V battery in the meter or by the supplied AC adaptor.The second one is IR (non-contact) measurements.Hold the meter by its handle and point it toward the surface to be measured.Pull and hold the trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The temperature reading, the flashing 'SCAN' icon, the emissivity, the unit of measure and other icons as shown in the Display Description will appear. Note: Replace the meter's 9V battery if the display does not switch on.Release the Trigger and the reading will hold for approximately 7 seconds (HOLD will appear on the LCD) after which the meter will automatically shut off.If the Test Lock switch is set to ON (center DIP switch located inside the battery compartment set to the right position) the meter will remain ON and continue testing until the switch is moved to the left position (OFF) or until the battery loses power.Select the temperature units (ºF/ºC) using the top switch inside the battery compartment. The left switch position is ºC and the right position is ºF.The third one is backlight/laser pointer.While pulling the Trigger, push the backlight/laser button to turn on the backlight.Press it again to turn on the laser pointer. When the laser is ON the laser icon will appear in the LCD.Press again to turn the backlight off.Press one more time to turn the laser off.The fourth one is Type-K (contact) measurements.Plug the Type-K thermocouple sensor into the jacks at the bottom of the instrument.The jack accepts a standard sub-miniature connector. Note that one plug spade is wider than the other and the plug can only be inserted into the meter in one direction.Pull the trigger to turn the instrument ON.In order to keep the instrument's power on while testing, the user can a:) hold the trigger or b:) lock the instrument on by setting the center dip switch to the ON position (switches are located inside of the battery compartment).Repeatedly press the MODE button until the bottom display line of the LCD reads 'T k'.Hold the thermocouple in air or touch the tip of the sensor to the device that is to be tested. The temperature shown to the right of the 'T k' symbol is the temperature that the Type-K thermocouple is sensing.The supplied thermocouple is rated for a maximum temperature of 482oF (250oC).
