7.17 What is reflected Temperature?
This is only applicable if an emissivity of less than 1 is selected.
Some of the infrared energy seen by the camera from a surface with an
emissivity of less than 1.00 is reflected background energy. If there is a hot
object in the background, this can have a significant effect on the temperature
measured. By entering a reflected temperature value, the camera can correct
for the effect of this reflected background energy.
How to set Relected Temperature?
1. Press Hotkey 4
to select the menu (Fig 1).
2. “Infrared Settings”
.will be highlighted. Press Hotkey 3
to select
it.
3. Use the up/down navigation buttons
to move to the Reflected Temp. option.
4. Use the left/right navigation buttons
to change the value.
5. Press Hotkey 4
to exit.

TIP:
A good method to determine the reflected temperature in a
room or setting is to set the emissivity to 1.00, turn 180
degrees from the object being measured, and take an
average temperature measurement, using area mode (see
7.3), of the background or of any hot object.
