Settings before taking measurements
Before measuring temperature, it is recommended to set the technical
unit : °C or °F
To set this parameter, open the battery door by pushing on both sides
of the trigger. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery to make this
setting.

Set the technical unit
Set the selector unit to °C or °F with
a screwdriver..

Emissivity
Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting
characteristics of materials.
Most (90% of typical applications) 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 material underneath it. Measure the
temperature of the tape or painted surface.
See table below for values of emissivity of specific materials :
Important information
For correct measurements :
• Do not take any measurement on metal or shiny or reflective
surfaces.
• Do not measure through transparent surfaces such as glass, for
example.
• Water vapor, dust, smoke, etc ... may prevent correct
measurements because they obstruct the optical of the instrument.
• Make sure that the target is larger than the size of the laser
sighting.
Command buttons
Mode button
Allows to define types of desired measurement : emissivity, lock, high
alarm, low alarm by pressing as many time on this button.
- EMS : when
KIRAY100
instrument is turned on, press
MODE
button,
ε
flashes. Set emissivity by pressing on
UP
button to
increment it or
DOWN
button to decrement it. By default, emissivity is
set on 0.95.
To back to measurement mode, press
ENT
button ;
press
MODE
button to go to next mode.
- Lock : when
KIRAY100
instrument is turned on, press

MODE
Trigger
- Turning on the device.
-
ENT
pressed : activation of the laser sighting and temperature
measurement.
-
ENT
released : display is on HOLD (HOLD fixed), and gives the last
measurement. Display stays on for 7 seconds. If no buttons are
activated and if continuous measurement is inactivated, the
instrument turn off after 7 seconds.
