... How the Thermometers Work Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading which the unit displays (see Figure 3). ...

Users Manual Locating a Hot or Cold Spot To find a hot or cold spot, aim the thermometer outside the desired area. Then, slowly scan across the area with an up and down motion until you locate the hot ...
Page 21
... As the distance (D) from the object being measured increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between distance and spot size (D:S) for each unit is shown in Figure 5. The spot sizes indicate 90 % encircled energy. 568 Figure 5.

... The thermometers have numerically adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00 that can be used in conjunction with the emissivities in Table 3. Also, the thermometers have a built-in table of the most common materials that can be set from the Emissivity Menu. The built-in values are indicated in Table 3. ...

... The probe readings are shown below the non-contact measurements. The thermometer will stay on when there is a probe inserted. When used with a personal computer and FlukeView Forms (568 only), the auto off feature is disabled. Troubleshooting Use the following table to remedy possible problems when using the thermometer. ...
