meter to direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays or
extreme temperatures. Protect your device
from dust and keep the meter dry, moisture
may damage the device. Prevent it from
any shock.
Repairs to the device must be carried out
only by the Vogel Germany GmbH & Co.
KG.
The battery should be taken out, if not in
use for a long time.
Regard to environmental protection:
Do not dispose of batteries or
device in domestic waste. Please
give it to a special collecting
depot.

be displayed. The last reading will be shown
for 7 seconds in the display when the trigger
is released. Then the device turns off.
5.5 Change the default values
The emission value, the maximum and mi-
nimum measured values are preset. These
can be changed as follows. The button
(2) increases the value; the button (5)
reduces the value.
5.5.1 Set the emission value
Not every body has the same emissivity,
the thermometer consider this. Press the
button (4). On the display a Є appears
and behind the set emission rate (I) two
bars ( | | ) are shown. Press the button
(2) or the button (5) to change the
emissivity. To save the value, press the
button (4) again and the bars disappear.
For more information, please read chapter
10. Emissivity.
5.5.2 Set the maximum value
Press the button (5) till the Display
show „HAL“ (G). The preset of this value is
550°C. To change this value, press the but-
tons (2) or (5). The display will show
„H“ (D) as index for exceeding the limit.
5.5.3 Set the minimum value
Press the button (5) till the Display
show „LAL“ (G). The preset of this value is
-50°C. To change this value, press the but-
tons (2) or (5). The display will show
„L“ (D) as index for undercutting the limit.

5.6 Measuring results
Besides the display of current value (I) the
highest reading, the average and the lowest
value are also shown in the display.
5.6.1 Highest reading
Press the button (5) until the display
shows MAX (G). The value (H) next to it is
the highest value in the measured series.
5.6.2 Average value
Press the button (5) until the display
shows AVG (G). The value (H) next to it is
the average value in the measured series.
5.6.3 Lowest reading
Press the button (5) until the display
shows MIN (G). The value (H) next to it is
the lowest value in the measured series.

9. Measurement principle 10. Emission ratio 11. Technical data

Every device emits infrared rays, whose
intensity is denpendant on its temperature.
These rays are detected and evaluated
by the infrared thermomter. The basis for
this principle is the Stefan-Boltzmann-Law,
which says that the total ray capacity P for
a black body is dependant on the absolute
temperature T (in K). Together with the
Stefan-Boltzmann-Constant this is:
P = σ • A • T4
Real bodies radiate with an intensity which
is ε - times less than others:
P = ε σ • A • T4
For a contact free temperature measure-
ment you have to know the emission ratio ε,
the heat radiation capability of the object to
be measured.
The emission ratio of an object indicates Emission ratio: 0.1 ~ 1.0 adjustable
