Accuracy

Accuracy is given at 18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F), less than 80%RH

50.0°C~-20.0°C (-58.0°F~-4.0°F): ±5°C/±9°F
-20.0°C~200.0°C (-4.0°F~200.0°F): ±2% of reading or ±2°C/±4°F
200.0°C~760°C (-200°F~1400°F): ±2.5% of reading or ±2°C/±4°F

Measuring operation

1. Hold the meter by its Handle Grip and point it toward the surface to be measured
2. Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light
3. While measuring, the SCAN display icon will flicker in the upper left hand corner of the LCD
4. While continuing to pull the Trigger:
   • Push the Laser button to turn on the laser pointer. When the laser is on the laser icon will appear on the LCD over the temperature. Aim the red beam approximately a half inch above the point of test (pressing the Laser button again turns the laser off).
   • Select the temperature units (°C or °F) using the °C/°F buttons.
   • Push the Backlight key to turn on the LCD backlighting function.
   • Push the mode key to enter the max temperature or min temperature measurement
5. Release the Trigger and the HOLD display icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held
6. The meter will automatically power down after approximately 7 seconds after the trigger is released.

How can I measure temperature with ATE-2523 pyrometer?

Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light if the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light. While measuring, the SCAN display icon will flicker in the upper left hand corner of the LCD. Release the Trigger and the HOLD display icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the reading is being held. The meter will automatically power down after approximately 7 seconds after the trigger is released. Up

How can I set emissivity when using ATE-2523?

Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cove the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape or painted surface. Up
