5.2 Adjustable Emissivity

Emissivity is the ability of a material to emit thermal energy. Different materials have different emissivity values. Adjusting the emissivity setting (EMS) on the thermometer ensures more accurate readings for various surfaces. The default value is 0.95, suitable for most organic materials and painted surfaces. You can adjust it from 0.1 to 1.0.

1. With the device on, press the 'MODE' button. The 'EMS' indicator will appear on the display.
2. Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the emissivity value.
3. Press the 'MODE' button again to confirm the setting or wait for the device to return to measurement mode automatically.

5.3 Unit Switching (°C/°F)

Hei whakawhiti i waenga i te Celsius (°C) me te Fahrenheit (°F):

• Press the '°C/°F' button located below the display. The unit will change instantly.

7. Tiaki

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your ERICKHILL Infrared Thermometer:

• Te horoi: Horoia te taputapu ki te ngohengohe, damp kakahu. Kaua e whakamahi i nga taputapu horoi, kaua e rukuhia te taputapu ki te wai.
• Rokiroki: Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Tiaki Mata: The infrared lens is the most delicate part. Clean it gently with a soft cloth or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol if necessary.

8. Te Raru

• Kaore te taputapu e ka ana:
  • Tirohia mehemea kei te tika te whakauru o nga pākahiko me te polarity tika.
  • Whakakapihia ki nga pākahiko AAA hou.
• Ko nga panui kore tika:
  • Ensure the emissivity setting is appropriate for the material being measured (refer to Section 5.2).
  • Check that the lens is clean and free from dust or debris.
  • Ensure the distance-to-spot ratio is respected; avoid measuring objects too close or too far.
  • Avoid measuring through transparent surfaces like glass, as they can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Kaore e mahi ana a Laser:
  • Ensure the laser function is enabled (refer to Section 5.4).
  • Tirohia te taumata pākahiko.
