8.3 Measuring temperatures

8.3.1 General

The crosshair and the two laser pointers are used as targeting pointers for infrared temper-
ature measurements. The crosshair indicates the center of the spot that the infrared ther-
mometer is sensing. The object of interest should be framed by the two laser pointers.
Note
• For best results, temperature measurements should not be taken closer than 10" (25.4
cm).
• The crosshair may not be in the center of the image. This is normal. The offset is due to
calibration of the camera, to ensure the alignment and accuracy of the laser pointers
and the infrared thermometer.

8.3.2 Procedure

Follow this procedure:
1. Aim the camera toward the area under test.
2. Pull and hold the trigger. This activates the two laser pointers.
