Troubleshooting - La Crosse Technology InfraScan IR-101 Instruction Manual

the darker and more matte the surface is, the larger their emissions
factor. If the factor is greater the 0.95, the temperature indicated will
be greater than the actual temperature of the object being measured. If
the factor is less then 0.9, the temperature indicated will be less than
the surface temperature. Polished metals have a very low emission
factor and are therefore not suitable for measuring with an infrared
thermometer. On the other hand, affixing adhesive tape to or painting
the surface will increase the emission factor and reduce the inaccuracy
of the measurement.
d. It is not possible to take measurements through transparent materials
(glass, plexiglas, etc.).
e. It is not possible to measure air temperatures.
f. Measurement errors can occur due to air contaminated with dust,
steam, smoke, etc.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

pressed for at least the duration of one measurement, i.e. for at least 1.5
seconds.
Problem: Display shows Err 1
Solution: The ambient temperature is outside the permitted range
Problem: Display shows 1
Solution: The measured value is outside the permitted range.
