FIELD OF VIEW
Make sure that the target is larger than the spot size.
The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it.
See Figure 7.
EMISSIVITY
Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most organic materials and
painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of about 0.95.
If possible, to compensate for inaccurate readings that may result from measuring shiny metal
surfaces, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint (<150 ºC/ 302 ºF)
and use the high emissivity setting. Allow time for the tape or paint to reach the same temperatures
as the surface beneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
If you cannot use paint or use tape, then you could improve the accuracy of your measurements
with the emissivity selector. Even with emissivity selector, it can be difficult to get a completely
accurate infrared measurement of a target with a shiny or metallic surface.
USER SETUP
Press SET button to step through Emissivity Setup Trigger Lock Switching ºC/ºF Normal
Measurement.
Press YELLOW button to save and exit Setup.
EMISSIVITY SETUP
This feature is to change the value of emissivity. To adjust values for emissivity, follow the below
procedure:
1. Press SET to select emissivity set up, icon E=0 on the display is blinking.
2. Press
to increase the value by 0.01 or press and hold
maximum value is 1.00.
3. Press
to decrease the value by 0.01 or press and hold
minimum value is 0.10.
