Emissivity 

Most  organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre -set in the 
unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To 
compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for 
the tape to reach the same temperature as the the material underneath it. Measur e the temperature 
of the tape or  painted surface. 
 

Maintenance 

Lens Cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris 
away with a camel’s hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a moist cotton swab. The swab  may 
be moistened with water. NOTE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the plastic lens. 
Case Cleaning: Use soap and water on a damp sponage or soft cloth. NOTE: DO NOT submerge the 
unit in water.

CE=Certification 

This instrument conforms to the following standards:

 

 

 

EN50081-1:1992 (Electromagnetic Emissions) 

 

EN50082-1:1992 (Elektromagnetic Susceptibility) 

 

Tests were conducted using a frequency range of 27-500 MHz with the instrument in three 
orientations. The average error for the three orientations is 4,8°C (+8,6°F) at 3 v/m throughout the 
spectrum. However, between 

190 MHz and

 500 MHz at 3 v/m, the instrument may not meet ist stated 

accuracy.
