    CHAPTER 2 PRODUCT FEATURES 2.1 Description The Infrared Thermometer Model CA879 is a non-contact temperature measuring instrument. It provides precision measurement with its laser target feature. To measure the temperature of an object, simply point the gun at the surface of the object and the temperature will appear on the digital display. The thermometer has an automatic shut-off feature. Shut-off will occur approximately 10 seconds after the trigger is released. 2.2 Emissivity All objects whose temperature is higher than absolute zero (-273.15°K) emit infra- red energy. This energy radiates in all directions at the speed of light. When the gun is pointed at an object, the probe’s lens senses this energy and focuses it onto an infrared detector comprised of a thermocouple stack. The detector produces a voltage signal proportional to the amount of energy received, and therefore propor- tional to the object’s temperature. Certain objects emit infrared energy, but also reflect it. Unlike matt surfaces, shiny or highly-polished surfaces tend to reflect energy. This reflection is represented by a factor called emissivity, which may vary from 0.1 for a highly reflective object to 1 for a flat black object. In the case of the Model CA879 thermometer, the emis- sivity is preset at 0.95, the most frequent value, enabling approximately 90% of all applications to be covered.

    4.2 Ratio Between Distance from Target/Diameter of Measurement Field • This ratio, also called the field of vision, indicates the diameter of the measurement field at a given distance from the target; D/S = 12:1 (D = distance, S = spot). • When measuring smaller areas, it is important to bring the probe sufficiently close to the target to avoid including other points in the measurement field. • Refer to the diagram on the instrument’s side panel as shown below. 5.0@60 inch 3.0@36 1.0@12 25@300 75@900 125@1500 mm Infrared Thermometer Model CA879 ShopAEMC www. .com 1.877.766.5412 Shop for AEMC products online at:...

    5. Press the trigger to measure the temperature. If you hold the trigger in this position, the thermometer will continuously measure variations in temperature. 6. Release the trigger. The displayed value is the last value measured. NOTE: The instrument automatically shuts down after a few seconds (10 seconds approx), storing the last configuration in its memory.
