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 ‘-----‘. The

supplied thermocouple is rated for 482oF (250oC).

Repeatedly press the MODE button unit the LOG icon is displayed on the lower left. Take a

reading and then press the SET button to store the reading to the location represented by the

number shown next to the LOG icon. Use the arrow keys to navigate the 20 storage locations.

All dashes indicate that there is no reading stored in a memory location.

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 212ºF (100ºC).

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.

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.
