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 and convenient inspection of electrical equipment. Contact Exergen for more information on the Model E line of instruments and electrical inspection. -
Page 8: High Temperature Targets
** If the surface is metallic, be sure to mark it as described in the Measurement Tips section in Chapter Three. 2.4.3 High Temperature Targets When using the DX™ to measure high temperature targets, above 100 °F, quickly touch the target's surface -- one second is long enough to get an accurate reading. -
Page 9: Scan Mode Temperature Measurements
2.6 SCAN Mode Temperature Measurements Use this measurement mode for thermal scanning of a target or when measuring targets located at a distance. The DX is a wide-angle ther- mal scanner with a fixed emissivity of 0.9. The target's temperature is continuously displayed and updated 10 times per second for as long as you hold the MEASURE button down. -

Page 11: Measuring Wet Or Icy Surfaces
If the DX responds to the heat source, the material is transparent in the infrared, and requires marking the surface for proper measure- ment. Mark the surface with an opaque non-metallic coating, such as paint or grease. Alternatively, place a shiny metallic object, such as aluminum foil, behind the transparent material. -
