Display functions / Setting keys 

 
Additionally to the temperature measurement the IGA 15 

plus

 provides some more functions which 

are necessary for a correct measurement and usefully enlarging the functionality of the pyrometer. 
 

 
 

Temperature display 

 

Parameter / function 

 
 

Laser targeting light function on / off 

 

 
Indication °C or °F 
 
 
Parameter value / function value 
 
Setting keys: 
1) Parameter selection 

PAR

 

2) change of parameter values: 

 

 

 
Indication °C or °F: 

indicates the temperature in °C or °F. 

 

Temperature display:

 shows the actual or stored temperature value.  

 

Parameter / function:

 selecting a parameter or a measuring function for indication or changing a 

corresponding short form will be displayed. 

 

Parameter value / function value:

 indicates the value of the adjusted parameters or the tempera-

ture of the selected measuring function.

 

 

PAR key:

 Repeated pushing of the PAR

 

key displays all available parameters (as EMI, HI, INT, 

C/F) or additional measuring functions in the following sequence mentioned below. Parameters 
are part of the basic settings of the pyrometer. They are only displayed during adjustment. Meas-
uring functions are displayed additionally to the measuring temperature (MAX, MIN, AVG, DIF), 
can give an acoustic signal (HI) or can be used for data analysis (RCL). Selected measuring 
functions are stored when the pyrometer is switched off and will be activated by restarting the 
instrument.
