3. east 1 foot 30cm of your target The accuracy of many infrared temperature measuring systems is adversely affected by ambient temperature You need to be aware that if the target surface is reflective enough it may reflect infrared from other objects For example if you take a reading of a shiny metal surface the infrared energy of your face may reflect enough energy off the surface to affect the reading Emissivity of the target surface also affects the temperature reading For a given temperature the higher the emissivity the higher the reading The lower the emissivity the lower the reading Emissivity of a surface indicates how easy it is for the infrared to get out Emissivity for a dull black surface is high nearly 100 so it s easy for the infrared to get out Emissivity for a shiny surface can be much lower If the emissivity is low the measured temperature will be lower than actual For relative readings of the same kind of surface this isn t a problem For some applications it may be neces sary to spray dull black paint on the target to insure a more accurate reading For best accuracy use contact sensors thermocouples thermistors etc anytime you take a temperature measurement Infrared instruments should only be used when you aren t able to touch the surface to be measured Limited Warranty This meter is warranted against defects in material or workman ship for one year from date of purchase Fieldpiece w

5. nds Metco in USA Model ii I Hl 6 MADE IN CHINA Description Use the SPK3 IR and Rod Thermometer to quickly mea sure surface temperatures or to check the dry bulb inside duct work It has an 8 1 field of view which means at 16 feet away you are seeing the average temperature of a 2 foot circle The backlit display automatically flips in ROD mode for hanging on duct walls WARNING A Never point the laser towards the eyes as permanent eye damage may occur Use extreme caution when using the laser Keep out of the reach of children Be careful around mirror surfaces since mirrors can reflect the laser Looking into the reflected laser is just as damaging as looking directly at the laser CE ce K WEEE Operation Press MEAS HOLD to power on into IR mode Press ROD to flip the display and view probe temp There is no OFF button Your SPK3 will turn off auto matically after 3 minutes 15 min in T1 T2 mode IR Infrared Mode 1 Hold the MEAS button while aiming the sensor at the surface you want to measure 2 The surface temperature will automatically be held on the display when MEAS is released ROD Thermistor Mode 1 Display flips so it can be seen when hanging 2 Press MEAS HOLD to freeze the display T1 T2 Works between both IR and ROD 1 Press T1 T2 to view T1 Note You must hold MEAS if in IR mode 2 Press T1 T2 to lock in T1 and switch to T2 3 Press T1
