Settings

4.2.1

Set the emissivity

To set the emissivity, press the "Set" key. Now you can see the currently set emissivity on the
bottom right display. Use the "Up" and "Down" keys to adjust the value. Press the "Esc" key
afterwards to return to normal measuring mode.
4.2.2

Change the measuring unit

To change the measuring unit, press the "Set" key two times. Now the measuring unit indication
right next to the main display begins to flash. Use the "Up" or "Down" key to switch between °C
and °F. Press the "Esc" key afterwards to return to normal measuring mode.
4.2.3

Heating mode settings

Press the "Set" key three times to set the threshold value for activating the heating mode. The
"ON" indication above the bottom left display starts to flash quickly. Use the "Up" and "Down"
keys to set the value.
Afterwards, press the "Set" key again to set the threshold level for deactivating the heating
mode. Use the "up" and "Down" keys to adjust the value. Press the "Esc" key afterwards to
return to normal measuring mode.
4.2.4

Cooling mode settings

Press the "Set" key five times to set the threshold value for activating the cooling mode. The
"ON" indication above the bottom left display starts to flash quickly. Use the "Up" and "Down"
keys to set the value.
Afterwards, press the "Set" key again to set the threshold level for deactivating the cooling
mode. Use the "up" and "Down" keys to adjust the value. Press the "Esc" key afterwards to
return to normal measuring mode.

Measuring principle

The infrared thermometer measures the surface temperature by focussing the IR radiation
emitted, reflected or transmitted by an object on a detector. The detector emits an electric signal
based on the radiation which is processed by the thermometer. The laser is for aiming purposes
only.
Due to the functional principle, you have to mind the following points:
1. It is not recommended to use the infrared thermometer on shiny or polished metal
surfaces (stainless steel, aluminium, etc.).
2. The meter cannot measure through transparent surfaces, such as glass. Instead, the
thermometer will measure the surface temperature of the glass.
3. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can affect the accuracy of the measurements heavily.
