Functional description
The infrared thermometer BP10 uses an infrared sensor
to measure surface temperatures without contact. So
that you can accurately see where the device is measu-
ring, a built in laser pointer can be switched on. The de-
vice can show either the highest or lowest value of the
measurement. For the maximum or minimum value, a
temperature alarm can also be set.

Temperature measurement
• Ensure that the surface to be measured is free of
dust, dirt or similar substances.
• To be able to gain exact measurement results on sur-
faces which reflect heavily, stick matt masking tape
to the surface or apply matt black paint with a very
high and known level of emissivity.
• Note the 6:1 ratio of the distance to the measuring
spot size. The larger the distance to the object, the
larger the measuring spot size and hence, the less
precise the measured result.
