Infrared K-Thermometer Model CA876

Field of View (FOV) ratio:

10:1  (Distance : Diameter)
The FOV is the ratio of the dis-

tance to the target to the target 

diameter.  When  the  target 

diameter  is  small,  it  is  impor-

tant to bring the thermometer 

closer to the target to ensure 

that  only  the  target  is  mea-

sured, excluding the surroundings. Remember that the measurement size 

is one-tenth the distance to the target. For example, if the thermometer is 

at 10", then the size measured is 1".

3.1.2  K TYPE
