The laser spot needs to be showing inside the target area. An 8:1 "distance to spot ratio" means you are measuring a 1" diameter area at a distance of 8".How far can I measure?Distance is unlimited. The size of the target area sets the limit on distance for accurate measurements. Example: If the area you wish to measure is 1 foot in diameter, then you will need to be within 8 feet to record an accurate temperature.What is the smallest target I can read?Approximately one-half inch in diameter.What is emmisivity?This is a ratio of an object's infrared emission compared to a theoretical black body considered 1. Emissivity is always less than 1. Adjustable emissivity allows your non-contact thermometer to be adjusted to the surface you are checking to make readings more accurate.
