The MODE button options

The MODE button is used to access the programming functions of the instrument. The

selected function is displayed on the bottom line of the LCD. Each parameter is listed

below with a detailed account of its use. Press the MODE button to step from one

parameter to the next.

EMS (Emissivity Value)

To change the emissivity value, use the UP and DOWN arrows (the range is 0.10 to

1.00). The current emissivity setting is always shown at the top of the LCD display. A

setting of 0.95 covers about 90% of all applications. Emissivity is discussed in a

dedicated section of this manual.

MAX (Maximum function)

In the MAX mode, only the highest reading encountered in the current measurement

session is displayed

MIN (Minimum function)

In the MIN mode, only the lowest reading is displayed

DIF (Max minus Min value)

In the DIF mode, the MAX less the MIN is displayed.

AVG (Average value)

In the AVG mode, all of the readings in the current measurement session are

averaged and the value is displayed.

HAL (High Alarm setting)

The temperature that, when exceeded, causes the audible/visual alarm to trip.

LAL (Low Alarm setting)

The temperature that, when exceeded high to low, causes the audible/visual alarm to

trip.

T k (Type-K contact thermocouple sensor function)

The temperature reading of the Type-K contact probe is shown next to the ‘T k’ icon display.

If the sensor is not correctly inserted to the meter the display will show all dashes ‘-----‘.

Automatic Emissivity Adjustment

The 42515 has the ability to automatically calibrate the emissivity setting. However, in

order to do so, the temperature of the measured surface must be above 100ºC (212ºF).

Follow the steps below to use the automatic emissivity adjustment feature:

1. Press the MODE button until the EMS (Emissivity) icon appears on the lower LCD line.

2. Press and hold the Laser/Backlight button until the EMS icon begins to blink and the

emissivity value is displayed as “___”.

3. The IR temperature will be displayed on the middle line of the LCD and the Type-K

temperature will be displayed on the lower LCD line.

4. Touch the Type-K sensor to the surface and, at the same time, take an IR reading.

5. When both the IR and the Type-K measurements stabilize, press the UP or DOWN

arrow button. The new emissivity value will now be displayed.

6. Proceed to take measurements.

If the temperature measurement exceeds the specified temperature range, the thermometer

will display dashes in place of a temperature reading.

High and Low Alarm Feature

The Model 42515 has an alarm feature whereas a High Alarm setting and a Low Alarm

setting can be programmed by the user. When either Alarm point is reached the meter will

alert the user via an audible beep and LCD display icon. Follow the steps below:

1. Press the MODE button until the HAL (High Alarm) parameter is displayed. Use the

UP and DOWN arrow keys to set the desired High Alarm setting.

2. Press the MODE button until the LAL (Low Alarm) parameter is displayed. Use the

UP and DOWN arrow keys to set the desired Low Alarm setting.

3. When an alarm limit is reached, the audible alarm will sound and the display icon

IR Measurement Notes

1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field

of view diagram (printed on the side of the meter and in this guide).

2. Before measuring, be sure to clean surfaces that are covered with frost, oil, grime, etc.

3. If an object's surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black paint to the

surface before measuring. Allow time for the paint or tape to adjust to the temperature

of the surface it is covering.

4. Measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass may not be accurate.

5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements.

6. The meter automatically compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. However,

it can take up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide changes.

7. To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up

and down motion) until the hot spot is located.

Field of View

The meter’s field of view is 13:1. For example, if the meter is 13 inches from the target

(spot), the diameter of the target must be at least 1 inch. Other distances are shown in the

field of view diagram. Note that measurements should normally be made as close as

possible to the device under test. The meter can measure from moderate distances but the

measurement may be affected by external sources of light. In addition, the spot size may

be so large that it encompasses surface areas not intended to be measured.

Emissivity and IR Measurement Theory

IR Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s optics

sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy. The thermometer’s electronics translate

the information into a temperature reading which is then displayed on the LCD.

The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature

and its ability to emit energy. This ability is known as emissivity and is based upon the

material of the object and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for a very

reflective object to 1.00 for a flat black finish. For the Model 42515, the emissivity is

adjustable from 0.1 to 1.00. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have

an emissivity factor of 0.95. When in doubt, set the emissivity to 0.95.
