Operation
Surface Temperature Measurement
NOTE: The ThermoPro TP30 cannot measure the temperature of objects behind glass. Inaccuracy may also occur when exposed to steam, dust or any other contaminants in the air.
- Place the included AAA batteries into the Battery Compartment, then press the Measurement Trigger to activate the thermometer.
- Point the TP30 thermometer towards the surface you wish to measure.
- Press and hold the Measurement Trigger and the laser will activate for aiming guidance. (Laser will only appear if enabled. Laser is turned on by default.)
- Keep holding the Measurement Trigger as you move the TP30 if you wish to continually take a measurement of the surface.
- Once the laser is pointed to the desired point of measurement, release the Measurement Trigger and the Upper Display will show the last measured temperature.
- Press the Measurement Trigger once again to make another measurement.
Emissivity
The emissivity of a material is its efficiency in emitting thermal energy. Non-reflective surfaces have a higher emissivity (closer to
- than reflective surfaces (closer to 0). Inaccurate results may occur when measuring reflective surfaces such as glass, polished wood, and granite.
To take accurate temperature measurement of reflective surfaces with low emissivity, place a strip of masking tape over the surface and allow for it to adjust to the temperature of the surface for approximately 30 minutes. Measure the surface, scanning the taped section, eliminating the issue of inaccuracy.
The default emissivity of this device is 0.95, which is suitable for surface temperature measurement of most organic materials and painted objects. If you would like to improve the measurement accuracy of different objects, you can refer to the emissivity table below.
Distance-Spot Ratio
The ThermoPro TP30 measures surface temperature based on the distance to spot diameter ratio (D: S). As the distance between the thermometer and the surface increases, the total surface area measured will also increase. With a distance to spot ratio of 12:1, the surface area measured has a diameter of roughly 1/12 the distance.
For the most accurate results, make sure the target has a surface area of twice the corresponding spot diameter. Insufficient surface area will result in inaccurate results. The recommended distance to hold the thermometer from the surface of measurement is 7.87inch (20cm) away from the surface. This creates a spot measurement area of 0.66inch(1.67cm) in diameter.Distance(D) to Spot (S) size D:S=12:1
Replacing Batteries
Low Battery Indication will appear on the thermometer’s batteries are running low. Immediately replace the batteries when the icon appears.
- Open the Battery Compartment and remove the used batteries.Dispose of the used batteries properly.
- Insert two new AAA batteries with the correct polarity.
- Close the Battery Compartment.
The device certification information is labeled directly on the device. The sticker is located on the left side of the thermometer
The device warning and aperture safety information are also labeled directly on the device; this sticker is located on the right side of the thermometer.

Safe Use & Care
- DO NOT point the laser beam at another person or animal.
- DO NOT attempt to point laser beam at an aircraft.
- Avoid direct/indirect eye contact with the laser-beam. Laser radiation may cause eye damage.
- DO NOT view the beam with optical instruments.
- If using near bystanders, make them looking directly into the laser beam. aware of the dangers of DO NOT allow children to operate the device.
- Use two 1.5V AAA batteries when replacing the batteries within the device.
- Make sure to insert the batteries in accordance with the correct polarities.
- ALWAYS remove the batteries when cleaning the device.
- DO NOT use leaking batteries or dispose of old batteries in fire.
- Remove the batteries if storing the device for a prolonged period of time.
- DO NOT disassemble the device or tamper with internal components. Doing so will void any warranty.
- DO NOT touch the lens or wipe it using anything other than a soft cloth or cotton swab.
- Keep the thermometer away from electromagnetic fields produced by objects such as arc welders and induction heaters.
- DO NOT expose the thermometer to direct sources of heat for extended periods of time.
- The thermometer measures surface temperature, not internal temperature. Do not use it as a reliable source to measure body temperatures.
Disposal
Meaning of the “Dustbin” Symbol
- Protect our environment: do not dispose of electrical equipment in the domestic waste.
- Please return any electrical equipment that you will no longer use to the collection points provided for their disposal.
- This helps avoid the potential effects of incorrect disposal on the environment and human health.
- This will contribute to the recycling and other forms of reutilisation of electrical and electronic equipment.
- Information concerning where the equipment can be disposed of can be obtained from your local authority.
CAUTION: Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with household waste!
- The batteries must be removed from the appliance.
- Take spent batteries to the appropriate collection point or to a dealer.
- Your town or local authority can provide information about public collection points.
This symbol can be found on batteries/rechargeable batteries which contain hazardous:
Pb = contains leadCd = contains cadmiumHg = contains mercuryLi = contains lithium
