*(no value given in the "Temperature" field indicates that the values shown are valid for a standard
temperature of 20 °C)
**(metals cannot be measured accurately due to their surface (e.g.: oxidised/polished surface
emissivity between 2 and 100%)) We therefore recommend using the paper sticker
(IR 30/E95
Order No. 5833
) with emissivity of 95%. This makes exact measurement of the object
temperature possible.
