3-1 Laser Sighting 3 3.1 W arnings and Cautions You may receive harmful laser radiation exposure if you do not adhere to the warnings listed below: • USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HERE MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
Laser Sighting 3 3-2 3.2 Description The Laser Sighting is built into the thermometer. It provides a visual indication of the field of view of the thermometer. Aiming at distant targets (up to 40 feet) becomes much easier by using the Laser Sighting. It is offered in two different models, laser dot, and laser dot/circle switchable.
3-3 Laser Sighting 3 3.3 Operating the Laser Sighting 1. Set the laser power switch to the ON position as shown in Figure 3-2. 2. Aim at the target and pull the trigger. 3. The laser beam and the red power indicator LED will turn on. Refer to Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2.
The Laser Sighting turns on only when used with the thermometer. The module does not turn on by itself. The line of sight of the thermometer does not coincide with that of the Laser Sighting, as shown in Figure 3-4. The two lines of sight become less critical when measuring distant targets.
4-1 4.1 Sighting Scope The Sighting scope is an accessory for the thermometer. It provides a visual indication of the target being measured. Aiming at distant targets (up to 200 feet) becomes much easier by using the Sighting scope. 4.2 Installing and Operating the Sighting Scope 1.

A-1 Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A Thermal Radiation Heat is transferred from all objects via radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves or by conduction or convection. All objects having a temperature greater than absolute zero (-459°F, -273°C, 0 K) radiate energy.
Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A A-2 Blackbody When thermal radiation falls on an object, part of the energy is transmitted through the object, part is reflected and part is absorbed. A blackbody is defined as an ideal object that absorbs all the radiation incident upon it.
A-3 Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A Wien’s Displacement Law describes the exact mathematical relationship between the temperature of a blackbody and the wavelength of the maximum intensity radiation.
Appendix: How Infrared Thermometry Works A A-4 Optics Field of View Accurate measurement of temperature via infrared means depends strongly on the size of the object and the distance between the thermometer and the object.
B-1 Appendix: Emissivity V alues B Table B-1 provides guidelines for estimating the emissivity of various common materials. Actual emissivity, especially of metals, can vary greatly depending upon surface finish, oxidation, or the presence of contaminants.

Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity C C-2 Method 3 1. Use this method to measure objects at temperatures below 500°F (260°C). 2. Place a large piece of masking tape on the object (or at least a sample of the object material). Allow time for the masking tape to reach the object temperature.
C-3 Appendix - Determining an Unknown Emissivity C Method 4 1. Paint a sample of the object material with flat black lacquer paint. 2. Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature of the painted portion of the sample material - Area ‘A’ in Figure C-1.
