Safety Section.
2. Inspect the object being measured to and confirm that you have

Shiny or polished surfaces have a low emissivity and will give
inaccurate readings. One way to compensate for this is to apply
masking tape or flat black paint to the surface. Allow the tape
or paint to come to the same temperature as the surface and
measure the temperature of the tape or paint.
Temperature – While the micro IR-100 compensates for vari-
