Operating Modes (Model Specific)
SCAN: In the SCAN mode, the target’s instantaneous tempera-
ture is continuously displayed and updated 10 times per second
for as long as you keep the button depressed. After the power
button is released, the display will lock on the last temperature
measured and hold that reading for 10 seconds.
MAX: In the MAX (peak hold) mode, the display will lock on the
highest temperature measured for as long as you hold the power
button down. Each time a new peak temperature is measured or
repeated, an audible beep will sound. After you release the power
button, the display will lock on the maximum recorded tempera-
ture and hold that reading for 10 seconds.
MIN: In the MIN (valley hold) mode, the display will lock on the
lowest temperature measured as long as the power button is de-
pressed. Each time a new low temperature is measured, a beep
will sound. After the power button is released, the display will lock
on the minimum recorded temperature and hold that reading for
10 seconds.
Non-Contact Scanning
For situations where even light contact is contraindicated, bring the
instrument nose as close to the measuring site as safely possible, keep-
ing the following in mind:
The instrument’s field-of-view, also referred to as the distance-to-
spot ratio, is 1:1. A 1:1 field-of-view means that the sensor sees
a circular area with a diameter equal to the distance between the
sensor and the target area.
For example, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm), the sensor sees a 2
inch (5 cm) diameter spot. The minimum spot size is approxi-
mately 1/4 inch (6 mm) when touching.
The DermaTemp averages the temperature of everything in its
field-of-view.
A small hot spot may get lost in a large viewing area. The closer
you hold the instrument to a surface, the sharper its target resolu-
tion.
