5. MEASUrEMENT PrINcIPLE
Infrared thermometers detect infrared energy emitted by objects. The instrument focuses energy through its lens, changing the temperature of a special material that creates an electrical signal. A microcomputer processes this signal and displays the output on the panel of the thermometer. The laser is used only for sighting the instrument and has no other effect on temperature measurement.
6. MEASUrEMENT METhOD
1. To measure the temperature of an object, aim the unit at the object and press the trigger. As long as you hold the trigger, you can measure temperature continuously. After releasing the trigger, the LCD will hold the temperature values. The first display indicates the current value. The second display indicates the calculated (Avg., MAX, MIN or
MAX-MIN).
2. Use the laser button to activate the laser for aiming at distant objects.
3. Use the backlight button to illuminate the display in low-light conditions.
4. Press the “MODE” button to change the second temperature display. This display can show AVG (average), MAX
(maximum), MIN (minimum), MAX-MIN (span) or Alarm (Only ATE-2532).
5. Press the °C/°F button to change the unit of measure.
6. (Only ATE-2532) Press “+” button to add the emissivity, and press “-” to reduce the emissivity.
(Please refer to the chapter 8 “Emissivity”.)
7. (Only ATE-2533) Press “MODE” button, when “ALARM” symbol appears, you can set the alarming temperature value. Press “+” to add the alarming temperature value, and press “-” to reduce it. (Please refer to the chapter 9
“Temperature alarming function”.)
7. DISTANcE TO SPOT rATIO
The thermometer has an optical angle and spot size as shon below.
The target should be larger than the unit’s optical spot size. The distance to spot ratio for this thermometer is 12:1
(12mm spot at 1meter) as shown below.

8. EMISSIvITy
Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy emitting characteristics of a material. The higher the emissivity value a material has, the more infrared energy it will emit at a particular temperature. And the meter’s emissivity is more close to the material’s emissivity, the more particular measurement result you can get. So, it is important to set a just emissivity according to the material.
1. ATE-2530 and ATE-2533 have a fixed (non-adjustable) emissivity of 0.95. Most organic materials and oxidized metal range in emissivity between 0.85 and 0.98.
2. ATE-2532 has an adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.00. For different materials, you can set a different emissivity. An object’s emissivity is relative to its material, finish, color and temperature etc. The attached sheet is the emissivity of different substances in the normal temperature.

You also can get an object’s emissivity by the following method.
(1) Attach a black adhesive tape or spread some black paint on to the surface.
(2) Set the thermometer’s emissivity at 0.95, and then point the meter to the surface of the black adhesive tape (/ black paint), and make the measurement. Then you can get a measurement value (say for T1).
(3) Clear the black adhesive tape (/black paint), and point the meter to the same place. Adjust emissivity during measuring; when the measurement value is T1, the emissivity value on LCD is about the object’s emissivity.
(4) For some object (e.g. water or with high temperature) that can’t be attached a black adhesive tape or spread the black paint, you can use a contact thermometer make measurement first, and then use the same method as the above to get the emissivity.
9. TEMPErATUrE ALArMINg fUNcTION
(ATE-2533)
Press “MODE” button, and when the “ALARM” symbol appears on LCD, you can set the alarming temperature value. Press “+” to add the value, and press “-” to reduce the value. When the measurement temperature is more than the setting value, the inside buzzer will sound.
This function can help operator find the high temperature points by “scan” an object.
