2 Infrared K-Thermometer Model CA876CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONWarning• Thermometers are not designed to touch live electrical samples.• Do not use this instrument with Thermocouple K when voltagesat the sample point exceed 24V DC or 24Vrms.• Do not make temperature measurement in microwave ovens.Leaking microwaves may result in burns and serious injuries.• To prevent sensor damage, do not point the sensor lens directlyat the sun or any other source of strong infrared light.• Do not look directly into the laser beam, and do not aim the laserbeam into eyes.• Do not place the infrared thermometer directly on or close to objectsat temperatures exceeding 158°F (70°C).• To prevent measurement errors, do not expose the thermom-eter to strong electrical or electromagnetic fields.• To prevent sensor damage and erroneous readings, do notput the sensor lens into contact with any body or foreign/loosematerial when measuring. Keep the sensor perfectly clean.• Do not touch the sensor when taking measurements as it mayaffect the readings.• When the meter is exposed to sudden temperature changes(hot or cold), allow 20 minutes of stabilization before taking areading.• Be certain there is no condensation on the lens prior to takingmeasurements. Allow 10 minutes for condensation to dissipateas needed.• The Model CA876 is not waterproof or dust-proof. Take necessaryprecautions to protect it in wet or dusty environments.• Repeated sharp flexing can cause the thermocouple leads tobreak. To prolong sensor life, avoid sharp bends in the thermo-couple, especially near the connector.www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187
