Berrcom JXB-178 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Quick Start Guide

USING THE THERMOMETER

IMPORTANT: BEFORE TAKING FIRST MEASUREMENT

The thermometer needs to acclimate to the ambient environment (temperature) in which measurements will occur. It is important to allow the JXB-178 to acclimate to the room temperature for at least 15 to 20 minutes prior to first using the thermometer.

Subsequent usage – each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in the environment, allow the JXB-178 to acclimate to this ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes prior to using it.

CHANGING TEMPERATURE MODE

While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE button to toggle through the three temperature mode options: BODY, SURFACE or ROOM.

NOTE: When first using the thermometer, the default is set to BODY mode.

NOTE: Measurement ranges for each temperature mode are as follows:

BODY mode: 89.6°F to 109°F (32°C to 42.9°C)

SURFACE mode: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C)

ROOM mode: 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C)

NOTE: Once the thermometer is powered on, the last temperature mode measured will default as the current temperature mode.

NOTE: Always use the BODY mode to measure internal human temperature.

CHANGING TEMPERATURE UNIT

While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE button for 2 seconds, screen will display “F1”, then press the MODE button to transfer between degree Celsius and Fahrenheit, confirm by pressing the MEM button.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Press ON/SCAN button to power on the thermometer. When the devise is ready, the LCD screen will turn green.
2. Position the thermometer between 1.2″ to 2″ (3 to 5 cm) from the patient’s forehead.
3. Press ON/SCAN button to take measurement.
4. A measurement will be displayed on the LCD screen.
   • To repeat the process, return to step 2.
   • Allow 3 to 5 seconds between measurements.
5. The thermometer automatically turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

Note: High temperature alarm default setting is 100.4˚F (38˚C).

Documents / Resources

The Non-Contact Thermometer gives measurements in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The thermometer’s standard option is in degrees Celsius (degrees Celsius). To switch to Fahrenheit, comply with these instructions:

• Make sure that the thermometer has switched on. You can do that by pressing the trigger (power button). The display will turn on while the thermometer begins to take the temperature, possibly it will display the word ‘lo’ (low) in the event that there is no way to have it pointed toward an individual.
• Hold the button ‘Set’ until you can see the screen flash with ‘F1 and then “Unit”.
• In the corner of the display screen, you’ll notice a blinking Celsius thermometer. That is the measurement unit in which the thermometer is presently collecting data.
• To switch the measurement, press the ‘Memo’ icon at least once, to change to another measurement. The unit will start blinking in the display.
• You’ll be enabled to enter the Settings Section here.
• Press on the button (power button) to go back to your home screen. The newly constructed unit is found in the top left quadrant.

There are 2 temperature options on the Non-Contact Thermometer: “Body” and “Surface.” To move amongst the two modes, simply select the “mode” option on the thermometer’s right side. When taking forehead or body temperature. Keep the device 0.4 to 2 inches away from your body or forehead and push the trigger. 3 times, the gadget will buzz to signal that the scan is finished. Surface mode is used to measure a surface, room, or object’s temperature. The device should be held 0.4 to 2 inches away from your body or forehead and push the trigger. 3 times, the gadget will buzz to signal that the scan is finished.

The non-contact Thermometer will keep the prior 50 measurements. You can go between these measurements by hitting the “memo button for each measurement you wish to review. Make note of the number displayed on the screen to keep track of the reading you are currently viewing. Once you’re finished, hit the mode button to switch back to normal mode.
