BATTERY INDICATOR
• Solid Green: Battery has more than 40% charge remaining
• Partial Yellow: Battery has less than 40% charge remaining
• Partial Red: Low battery, needs recharging
• Blinks Red 10 Times: No Power, Immediate Shut Down
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 TI290 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.
