Preparing the Environment and NCIT:
The non-contact Infrared Thermometers are affected by the environment in which they are being used. Instructions for its optimal use would typically include the following:
- Use the thermometer where there is draft-free space away from direct sunlight, avoid using it around radiant heat sources.
- Find out if the conditions are favourable for its use. Normally, the temperature of the environment must be between 16-40 degrees celsius and relative humidity has to be below 85%.
- You need to let the NCIT adjust to the environment where the testing is going to take place. Place it there for 10-30 minutes prior to use.
