10.8.4 Temperature Range 
The device has a standard range in which it is calibrated. This range may be extended by the internal 
reserve.  
RT=S  switches to the standard temperature range 
RT=E  switches to the extended temperature range 
All  parameters  of  the  technical  specification  (e.g.  accuracy)  are  valid  only  inside  the  standard 
temperature range – there is no specification for the extended temperature range! 
10.8.5 Emissivity Setting 
The emissivity setting is selected by means of the “ES” command. 
ES=I  sets emissivity by a constant number 
ES=E  sets  the  emissivity  by  an  analog  voltage  on  the  external  input.  The  ambient 
background  temperature  compensation  will  be  set  off  (“AC=0”)  when  it  was  in 
external  mode  before  (“AC=2”).  For  more  information  see  section  7.4.3  External 
Input, page 44. 
?E  asks for the current emissivity value 
10.8.6 Ambient Background Temperature Compensation 
In case the ambient background temperature is not represented by the internal sensor temperature, you 
must set the ambient background temperature values as follows: 
A=250.0  current  ambient  background  temperature  according  to  the  setting  of  “AC” 
command 
AC=0  no compensation (internal sensor temperature equal to ambient temperature) 
AC=1  compensation with a constant temperature value set with command “A” 
AC=2  compensation  with  an  analog  voltage  signal  at  the  external  input, 
0 – 5 VDC corresponds to a temperature range set by using the commands AL and 
AH. 
Resulting temperature is read out by command “A”. The emissivity setting will be 
set  to  internally  (“ES=I”).  For  more  information  see  section  7.4.3  External  Input, 
page 44. 
10.8.7 Temperature Hold Functions 
The  following  table  lists  the  various  temperature  hold  functions  along  with  their  resets  and timing 
values. Use this table as a guide for programming your sensor and adjusting the hold times. 
Please note, the setting of some commands is not possible by using of the control panel, these commands 
are only available by means of the software. For further information see section 7.3 Signal Processing, 
page 37.
