Unit Settings
With the MODE button you can select the
different setting functions. The unit must be in
the HOLD mode. The respective function will be
flashing in the display. With the UP and DOWN
buttons you can change parameters or activate/
deactivate functions.
To save the settings you have to press the
MODE button again (will also switch to the next
function) or the TRIGGER.
If you have not activated any button for 7
seconds, the instrument will not save the current
modification and shut down.
EMISSIVITY
The intensity of infrared radiation, which is
emitted by each body, depends on the
temperature as well as on the radiation features
of the surface of the measuring object.
The emissivity ( = Epsilon) is used as a stable
factor of the material, with which to describe the
ability of the body to emit infrared energy. If the
emissivity chosen is too high, the infrared
thermometer may display a temperature value
which is much lower than the real temperature.
The unit will be delivered with a preset fixed
emissivity of 0,95. This emissivity value is very
common for most organic materials and painted
or oxidized surfaces.
