When using the gun to find hot -spots,
accuracy of the reading is not as
important as keeping the gun at the
same distance from the target for
each sample measurement.
If you are looking for hot-spots on
electrical panels, for instance, you
could take the readings from 6' away
each time, even though you may
only be filling half the spot diameter.
The critical information in this process
would be any significantly higher
temperature .
Emissivity of an object will also
affect accuracy.
This instrument is sensitive to
electromagnetic interference (EMI),
such as that generated by spark
plug wires, radio transmitters and
welders. Do not use this instrument
in close proximity to equipment that
may produce such interference
The instrument must be used within
the ambient temperature range
specified in the specification table
For example, using the meter,an object
that is 6" in diameter can be accurately
measured from 72" away.
