Top of RED is approx. 450°F The bottom of RED is approx.150°F THOUSAND PLUS MODE Top of RED is approx. 2,000°F Beginning of RED is approx. 1,000°F Beginning of YELLOW is approx. 500°F Electronic Integration icon will appear. Copyright 2008 ISG Thermal Systems USA, Inc.
Page 12: Emissivity And Its Effects On Ddt
The better the characteristic to absorb heat (the higher the emissive value), generally the more accurate the temperature reading. The DDT installed in the K1000 ELITE assumes an emissivity of 0.95. That is, for objects with emissivity of 0.95, the DDT will return temperature readings accurate to within 10% of the actual temperature.
Page 13 DDT is measuring the temperature of an object and NOT the air temperature. Failure to observe this warning could result in death or serious injury. Copyright 2008 ISG Thermal Systems USA, Inc.
