English How to Accurately Measure Temperature Locating a Hot Spot To find a hot spot aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion until you locate the hot spot. Field of View Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. When accuracy is critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
English Emissivity Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface.
