Making settings
1
- Press (7) to open the menu.
2
- Move and press (7) to select the menu item.
3
- Moving and pressing (7) applies the settings.
Setting the emissivity
Materials have various emissivities, i.e. they emit various amounts of
electromagnetic radiation. The emissivity of the instrument has a default
setting of 0.95. This is ideal for the measurement of non-metals (paper,
ceramic, gypsum, wood, paints and varnishes), plastics and foodstuffs.
1
- Press (11).
2 - For Customise manual and Customise auto,
move (7) right to enter the emissivity.
For Customise auto, please refer to the instruction manual.
3
- Press (7) to confirm the selected emissivity.

Measuring lens
(Ratio of distance: measuring range)
Depending on the distance of the measuring instrument from the measurement
object, a specific measuring range is recorded.
