and use, will provide years of reliable service.

Features

Triple digital LCD display.

Fast response, all data is calculated four times per second.

Standard type K (NiCr-NiAl) Thermocouple input jack suitable for any style of type K probe.

Infrared thermometer to measure surface temperature.

Red laser pointer included.

LCD with Backlight.

Automatic range selection.

USB interface.

Low battery indication.

Auto Power off.

Safety

Use extreme caution when the laser pointer beam is on

Do not point the beam toward anyone's eye or allow the beam

to strike the eye from a reflective surface

Do not use the laser near explosive gases or in other

potentially explosive areas

Operation

Basic Measurements

1. Press the button to turn power on.

2. Press the °C/°F button to change the units of measure from °C or °F.

3. The upper display will indicate Air Temperature, Wet Bulb Temperature or Dew Point

Temperature and % Relative Humidity, or Air Temperature and Grains Per Pound, or grams per

kilogram. Press the UNITS button to toggle between Air, WB or DP, and %RH, GPP or g/kg.

4. The lower display will indicate Type K temperature or IR Temperature. Press and hold the IRT

button to select the IR Thermometer. The TYPE-K function will display “-------“ if a type k probe is

not inserted into the meter.

Non-contact IR Surface Temperature Measurements

The built-in IR sensor can remotely measure the temperature of most surfaces. The

Laser pointer allows the user to aim accurately when taking non-contact

measurements.

1. Turn ON the meter using the button.

2. The IR sensor and laser pointer are located at the top of the meter.

3. Point the sensor toward the surface to be measured.

4. Press and hold the IRT button to begin measuring the surface temperature of a

desired target. IR TEMP and will appear on the display. The laser pointer will

switch on to help aim the meter.

5. The measured IR surface temperature will appear on the lower display.

6. When the IRT button is released, the laser pointer will switch off and the reading

will freeze (data hold) on the display for approximately 7 seconds.

7. After the 7 second hold time the meter returns to the type K mode.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers

do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for

extended periods of time.

Data Hold

1. Press the HOLD button (one for upper display and one for lower display) to freeze the displayed

value for the respective display. Press again to unlock the display.

2. The HOLD icon will appear on the display when the Data Hold mode is active.

MIN-MAX Recording Mode

1. Press the MAX/MIN button (one for upper display and one for lower display) to begin recording

the Maximum and Minimum reading. The REC MAX icon will appear and only the maximum

value measured will appear in the display. The display will update only if a value higher than the

currently displayed value is measured.

2. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display the minimum values. The REC MIN icon will appear

and only the minimum recorded value will appear in the display.

3. Press the MAX/MIN button again to display the currently measured values. The REC icon will

appear in the display and the Max and Min values will be stored in memory.

4. Press and Hold the MAX/MIN button for >2 seconds to exit the mode.

Auto-Power Off

The meter will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of operation if no buttons are pressed during

this period. Auto-power off can be disabled by:

Holding the IRT button and then pressing the button to turn the power on. When “disAPO”

appears in the display, release the IRT button and the APO will be disabled.

Low Battery

When the battery reaches the minimum operating voltage the battery icon will appear in the display.

Replace the 9V battery when this occurs.

Battery Replacement

When the battery icon appears on the LCD, the 9V battery must be replaced.

1. The battery compartment is located on the rear of the meter.

2. Press in and down on the arrow located above the tilt stand hinge.

3. Replace the 9V battery.

4. Replace the battery cover.

Backlight

Press the backlight button to turn the backlight ON or OFF.

Note: Continuous use of the backlight function will reduce battery life.

USB Interface and Software

The HD550 is equipped with a communication jack on its upper left side. The supplied

communications cable connects to this jack and to a USB port on a PC. The supplied software

allows the user to view and save readings to the PC. Instructions for use and features are detailed

in the supplied software HELP utility.

InfraRed Measurement Considerations

When taking IR measurements the meter automatically compensates for ambient temperature

changes. Note that it may take up to 30 minutes to adjust to extremely wide ambient changes.

Low temperature measurements quickly followed by high temperature measurements may

require several minutes to stabilize as a result of the IR sensor cooling process.

If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before taking

measurements.

If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint before measuring.

Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obstruct measurements.

To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up and

down motion) until the hot spot is located.

IR measurements cannot be made through glass.

IR Theory

IR thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The meter’s optics sense emitted,

reflected, & transmitted energy that is collected and focused onto the meter’s detector. The meter’s

circuitry translates this information into an LCD reading.

IR Field of View

Ensure that the desired target is larger than the spot size. As the distance from an object increases,

the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger. The meter’s field of view ratio is

30:1, meaning that if the meter is 30 inches (cm) from the target, the diameter (spot) of the object

under test must be at least 1 inch (cm). Refer below to the field of view diagram.

Emissivity

Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95. Inaccurate

readings will result when measuring shiny or polished surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface

under test with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same

temperature as the material underneath then measure the temperature of the tape or the painted

surface.
