When the target diameter is small, it is Distance to important to bring the ther- object (mm) mometer closer to the target 1000 to ensure that only the target is measured, excluding the surroundings. Remember that the measurement size is one-tenth the dis- tance to the target. For example, if the thermometer is at 10", then the size measured is 1". Infrared Thermometer Model CA870... -

Page 10: Operation
Infrared radiation, which is emitted from the object, is focused into an infra- red radiation sensor through an optical system. This system includes an optical lens, which is transparent to infrared radiation, and a 5.3μm cut off filter. The output signal from the infrared radiation sensor is input to an electronic circuit, along with the output signal from a standard temperature sensor, to calculate the temperature and display it on the meter display. Recommendations before Operating • If the measured surface target diameter is less than 2"/50mm Ø, then place the sensor as close as possible to the target surface (<20"/50cm away). See Field of View (FOV) information under Specifications. • If the target surface is covered with frost or any matter, clean it before taking a measurement. • If the target surface is highly reflective put some matte tape, or matte paint, over it before measuring. • If the Thermometer is erratic, or seems not to be measuring properly, make sure that the sensor is clean and not covered by condensation.
