7. NOTES
• Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit or absorb en-
ergy. Your IR Gun measures emitted energy using a
fixed emissivity value of 0.95 (which covers about 90%
of typical applications). When measuring highly reflective
surfaces, apply masking tape to the surface or a paint
that has a 0.95 emissivity. If the object you are measur-
ing is covered with frost, clear the frost to expose the
object's surface before taking the measurement.
• Your IR Gun has an 8:1 Distance-to-Spot ratio.
• The target must be larger than the IR Gun's spot size.
(The smaller the target, the closer you must be to it.)
• Your reading may fluctuate if the IR Gun is moved
during measurement.
• Allow the IR Gun to adjust to the ambient temperature
for 1/2 hour before use for the most accurate results.
• This IR Gun is not intended for medical evaluations.
• Protect the IR Gun from water, physical or electrical
shock, dust, and extreme environments.
• Contains a laser pointer. Keep out of reach of children.
