Thermometer Operation
4.1 General
It is recommended that the 'Emissivity' and 'Response Speed' controls are
set to match the requirements of the specific application and measurement
location, before installation. This is particularly relevant if the thermometer
is to be used in a location which is difficult to access and/or is used in
conjunction with a protective jacket and back cap.
4.2 Location of Controls
The 'Emissivity' and 'Response Speed' control switches are located on the rear
face of the thermometer. The controls are protected by a screw-on cap
(see Fig. 6).
NOTE
To ensure that the electronics of the thermometer are fully sealed
against the ingress of moisture and dirt, the screw-on cap covering the
thermometer controls must be replaced immediately after making any
settings or adjustments.
