Measurement Notes 

1.  The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field of view 

diagram. 

2.  If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before taking 

measurements. 

3.  If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint to the surface 

before measuring. 

4.  The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass. 
5.  Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements. 
6.  The meter compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. It can, however, take up to 30 

minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide ambient temperature changes. 

7.  To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up and 

down motion) until the hot spot is located.
