Measurement onsiderations
Holding the meter y its handle, point the IR Sensor toward the o ject whose temperature is to e measured.
The meter automatically compensates for temperature deviations from am ient temperature. Keep in mind that it will take up to 30
minutes to adjust to wide am ient temperature changes.
When low temperatures are to e measured followed y high temperature measurements, some time (several minutes) is required
after the low (and efore the high) temperature measurements are made. This is a result of the cooling process which must take
place for the IR sensor
