WARNINGS

Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe
operation. Failure to observe these warnings can result in risk of
 re or electric shock. Keep these instructions for future reference.

• DO NOT use the product if it is damaged or modified. Damaged or

modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in
fire, explosion, or injury.

• Risk of fire and burns. DO NOT open, crush, heat above specified

maximum temperature or incinerate. Prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight can result in elevated temperatures.

• If the battery’s internal temperature gets too high, the unit will
shut down until the internal temperature is lowered.

• DO NOT expose to moisture, rain, or snow.

• DO NOT subject to impacts or drops greater than 6.6 ft. (2 m).
Drops larger than this may not show signs of damage, but internal
components may have been compromised. It is advisable to
replace the unit if any such severe events occur.

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DO NOT open or
attempt to repair.

CAUTION

• BURN HAZARD. Reflective materials may have a higher actual

temperature than the measured temperature. Set emissivity to
match the object being measured (see Emissivity section).

• Do not point the camera at the sun or any other strong energy source.
This can affect the accuracy of the camera or cause damage to the sensor.

EMISSIVITY

Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal
energy by radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry,
wood, etc.) emit thermal energy through radiation at different
efficiencies. Accordingly, these materials have different emissivity
coefficients which must be considered in order to make accurate
measurements with an infrared thermometer.

Emissivity on the TI270 may be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.99 to enable
accurate measurement of the temperature of most types of materials.
Generally speaking, shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white
boards, etc. exhibit lower emissivity than flat black materials.

For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate
emissivity for many different types of materials. However, the
emissivity of surfaces is dependent upon many parameters such as
surface finish, temperature, shape of the object, etc.

This chart should be used for guidance only.

Material Emissivity

Asphalt 0.93
Red brick 0.93
Gray brick 0.75
Porcelain ceramic 0.92
Fired clay 0.91
Rough concrete 0.94
Cotton cloth 0.77
Smooth glass 0.92 - 0.94
Granite 0.45
Gravel 0.28
Smooth ice 0.97
Smooth white marble 0.56
Black paint 0.96
Hard rubber 0.94
Wood 0.80 - 0.90
Matte copper 0.22
Commercial sheet aluminum 0.09
Cold rolled steel 0.75 - 0.85
