4.13 Ambient Temperature Compensation
The compensation of the ambient temperature can be set for temperatures
within the basic measuring range. This compensation is only used for very
few special applications. The standard setting of this parameter is “auto",
because the temperature of the air around the pyrometer is normally the
ambient temperature of the measured object. Should the measured object be
placed in an area with a higher wall temperature (e.g. inside a furnace), the measurement might
be falsified (probably too high temperature indication). This influence can be compensated by
presetting the ambient temperature of the object (presetting within the measuring range of the
instrument). After switching over to “man” the corresponding data field T
amb
is activated so that
the ambient temperature value can be entered.
Attention: It has to be considered that this method only improves the results if the
ambient temperature at the place of the measured object is always constant and the
emissivity is well known.
