II.INTRODUCTION

The AT2103 Non-contact Infrared thermometer has been developed by 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

AT2103 is, up to now, the most suitable thermometer for no risk on 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 AT2103 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 AT2103 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 AT2103 to

acclimatize to this ambient temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before using it.

It is important to allow 3~5 seconds interval between two measurements.

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 AT2103 infrared thermometer is therefore able to measure

the temperature of a person by the energy the person emits. This measurement can be taken

thanks to an external temperature probe on the device which permanently analyses and registers

the ambient temperature. Therefore, as soon as the operator holds the thermometer near the

body and activates the radiation sensor, the measurement is taken instantly by detection of the

infrared heat generated by the arterial blood flow. Body heat can therefore be measured without

any interference from the heat of the surrounding environment.
