OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EMISSIVITY
Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal
energy by radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry,
wood, etc.) emit thermal energy through radiation at different
efficiencies. Accordingly, these materials have different emissivity
coefficients which must be considered in order to make accurate
measurements with an infrared thermometer.
Emissivity on the IR5 may be adjusted from 0.10 to 1.00 to enable
accurate measurement of the temperature of most types of materials.
Generally speaking, shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white
boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity than flat black materials.
For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate
emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the
emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as
surface finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc.
This chart should be used for guidance only.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When
1. Open the battery compartment
2. Remove exhausted 9V battery and dispose of appropriately.
3. Replace 9V battery and return battery compartment cover,
Be sure meter is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Take care
to keep the sensor lens clean at all times. If required, loose
debris may be removed from lens using clean compressed air.
Lens may also be cleaned using a soft cloth or cotton swab
with water or rubbing alcohol only . Lens must be allowed to
completely dry prior to use.
