4 Basics
4.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperature
Everything emits an amount of infrared radiation according to its surface temperature. The intensity of the
infrared radiation changes according to the temperature of the object. Depending on the material and
surface properties, the emitted radiation lies in a wavelength spectrum of approximately 1 to 20 µm. The
intensity of the infrared radiation (”heat radiation”) is dependent on the material. For many substances this
material-dependent constant is known. It is referred to as the ”emissivity value”, see 10.2 Typical Emissivity
Values
on page 19.
Infrared thermometers are optical-electronic sensors. These sensors are able to detect ”radiation of heat”.
Infrared thermometers are made up of a lens, a spectral filter, a sensor, and an electronic signal-
processing unit. The task of the spectral filter is to select the wavelength spectrum of interest. The sensor
converts the infrared radiation into an electrical parameter. The connected electronics generate electrical
signals for further analysis. As the intensity of the emitted infrared radiation is dependent on the material,
the required emissivity can be selected on the sensor.
The biggest advantage of the infrared thermometer is its ability to measure in the absence of contact.
Consequently, surface temperatures of moving or hard to reach objects can easily be measured.
4.2 Sight
To assure the target is bigger than the spot size, the distance between the sensor and the target should
be nearer for a smaller target. Refer to the diagram below.

Operation Manual
When using the Right Angle Mirror, adjust the emissivity or transmissivity settings downward by
5%. For example, for an object with an emissivity of 0.65, you adjust the value down to 0.62. Or,
you can keep the emissivity 0.65 and adjust the transmissivity from 1.0 to 0.95. This correction
accounts for energy losses in the mirror.

Our customer service representatives are always at your disposal for any questions you might have. This service
includes any support regarding the proper application of your infrared measuring system, calibration or the solution to
customer-specific solutions as well as repair.
In many cases your problems will be application-specific and can possibly be solved over the telephone. So, if you
need to return equipment to us, please contact our Service Department before doing so. See phone and fax
numbers at the beginning of this document.

Never rely exclusively on the automatic error indication when monitoring critical heating processes. It is
strongly recommended to take additional safety measures.

Do not use any ammonia or any cleaners containing ammonia to clean the lens. This may result
in permanent damage to the lens’ surface.

10 Appendix
10.1 Determination of Emissivity
Emissivity is a measure of an object’s ability to absorb and emit infrared energy. It can have a value between 0 and
1.0. For example, a mirror has an emissivity of 0.1, while the so-called “Blackbody“ reaches an emissivity value of 1.0.
If a higher than actual emissivity value is set, the output will read low, provided the target temperature is above its
ambient temperature. For example, if you have set 0.95 and the actual emissivity is 0.9, the temperature reading will
be lower than the true temperature.

Operation Manual
To optimize surface temperature measurements, consider the following guidelines:
z Determine the object emissivity using the instrument that will also be used for the measurements.
z Avoid reflections by shielding the object from surrounding temperature sources.
z For higher temperature objects, use instruments with the shortest wavelength possible.
z For translucent materials, such as plastic foils or glass, assure that the background is uniform and lower in
temperature than the object.
