measurement of a target with a shiny or metallic
surface. Experimentation may be required to
benchmark temperatures, and experience will
help you choose the best setting for specific
measurements.
The imaging thermometer has emissivity adjustable
from 0.1 to 1.0 in increments of 0.01. Refer to the
Nominal Emissivity Table in this manual. The
reference to emissivity settings in the table are
suggestions for typical situations and your particular
situation may differ.
NOTE: Calibration of this product was performed at
0.95 emissivity.

To Change Emissivity
1. Press the menu/power button (l).
2. Press the forward (j) or back (h) arrow to
highlight the emissivity option in the menu.
3. Press the select button (i) to confirm selection.
4. Press the forward (j) or back (h) arrow to adjust
the emissivity setting. The emissivity can be
adjusted in increments of 0.01 from 0.10 to
1.00.
5. Press the the select button (i) to confirm the
emissivity setting.
6. After saving the emissivity setting, the imaging
thermometer will automatically return to the
main menu screen.
