Adjusting Emissivity

The amount of infrared energy radiated by an object depends on emissivity and

temperature. The emissivity depends on the material and its surface characteristics. For

more accurate readings adjust the emissivity value for the type of material you are

measuring. See Appendix C for typical emissivity values of various metallic and

non-metallic sources.
As emissivity changes, the live thermal image will also change as the displayed

temperature changes. The default emissivity setting is 0.95 and the adjustmentment range

is from 0.01 to 1.00.

1. From the Home display, press G (

MENU

) three times to navigate to the Adjust

Emissivity and RTC display.
