II.INTRODUCTION

The AT2102 Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer has been developed using the latest

infrared technology. This technology allows temporal artery (TA) temperature to be

taken at a distance of about 3cm~5cm away from the forehead. Precise,

instantaneous, and without contact, the AT2102 is, up to now, the most suitable

thermometer for temperature measurement. It has been demonstrated that this

method of TA temperature measurement is more precise than the tympanic

thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry (1).

However, as with other types of thermometers, it is essential to use the AT2102

properly in order to obtain reliable and stable results. You are therefore advised to

read this instruction manual and the safety precautions carefully before use.

III.PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

The AT2102 is pre-set at the factory.

It is not necessary to calibrate the device when starting it up.

In order to obtain reliable and stable results, you are advised each time there is a

significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment, to

allow the AT2102 to acclimatize to the new ambient temperature for 15 to 20

minutes before using it.

It is important to allow a 1 minute interval between each measurement.

IV. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

All objects, solid, liquid, or gas, emit energy by radiation. The intensity of this energy

depends on the temperature of the object. The AT2102 infrared thermometer is

therefore able to measure the temperature of a person by the energy the person
