diameter, then the 
thermometer must be 
within 10" of the target 
for an accurate reading.

c. Aim the thermometer at the target and press 

the SCAN button to display the surface 
temperature. Hold the SCAN button to 
continuously update the measurement 
reading.

5. Emissivity 

Everything gives off a certain amount of 
radiation. Emissivity is the measure of this 
thermal radiation. The infrared thermometer is 
supplied with a default emissivity of 0.95, which 
standard for most uses. The emissivity of the 
thermometer can be changed from 0.05 (5E) to 
1 (100E). 

Only experienced personnel should 

attempt to make changes.

 For information 

relating to the emissivity of specific materials, 
please contact CDN.
a. Press the SCAN button to turn the 

thermometer on.

b. Press the MODE button six times to enter 

Emissivity Mode. 

95E

 flashes on the display.

c. Press the SCAN button to adjust the 

emissivity value in 0.01 (1E) increments.

d. Press the MODE button again to exit 

Emissivity Mode. 

Note:

 Infrared thermometers are not recommended for 

use in measuring the temperature of shiny or polished 

metals.

6. Error Messages 

The IN482 incorporates visual diagnostic 
messages as follows:
a. 

Hi 

or 

Lo 

is displayed when the temperature 

being measured is outside of the range of  
the thermometer.
1.) 

Hi 

indicates that the temperature is 

higher than 482°F/250°C.

2.) 

Lo 

indicates that the temperature is 

lower than -67°F/–55°C.

b. Allow a minimum 30 minutes for the 

thermometer to stabilize to the working/room 
temperature.
