The MODE button options 

The MODE button is used to access the programming functions of the instrument. The selected 
function is displayed on the bottom line of the LCD. Each parameter is listed below with an 
explanation for its use. Press the MODE button to step from one parameter to the next. 
 

EMS  

(Emissivity Value)

 

To change the emissivity value, use the UP and DOWN arrows (the range is 0.10 to 1.00). 
The current emissivity setting is always shown at the top of the LCD display. A setting of 
0.95 covers about 90% of all applications and, when in doubt, should be set as such. 
Emissivity is discussed in a dedicated section of this manual. 

MAX  

(Maximum function) 
In the MAX mode, only the highest reading encountered in the current measurement 
session is displayed 

MIN

   (Minimum function) 

In the MIN mode, only the lowest reading is displayed 

DIF

   (Max minus Min value) 

In the DIF mode, the MAX less the MIN is displayed. 

AVG

  (Average value) 

In the AVG mode, all of the readings in the current measurement session are averaged 
and the value is displayed. 

HAL

   (High Alarm setting) 

The temperature that, when exceeded, causes the audible/visual alarm to trip. 

LAL

   (Low Alarm setting) 

The temperature that, when exceeded high to low, causes the audible/visual alarm to trip. 

 
 

Battery Replacement 

 
When the battery symbol     appears empty or close to empty, replace the meter’s 
9V battery. The battery compartment is located behind the panel that surrounds 
the meter’s trigger. The panel can be pried open near the trigger and folded down 
as shown in the diagram. Replace the 9V battery and close the battery 
compartment cover.
