6.5 Specials Attentions
• If the surface to the measured is covered by frost
or other material, clean it to expose the surface.
• If the surface to be measured is highly reflective,
apply masking tape or finish black paint to the sur-
face.
• If the meter seems to be giving incorrect readings
check the front cone. There may be condensation
or debris obstructing the sensor; clean per in-
struction in the maintenance section.
