USING YOUR THERMOMETER

TARGET DISTANCE GUIDE
DISTANCE TO SPOT RATIO (D:S)
Distance to spot is a ratio that determines the size of your target area based on your distance from the object you are measuring. This is used to help confirm your thermometer’s accuracy.
Your target object must fill the visual field in order to ensure an accurate reading. Larger objects require farther measurement distances, while smaller objects must be closer.
The D:S ratio of your thermometer is 12:1, which means it is capable of measuring a 1-inch diameter target area from 12 inches away. This target area scales up as you move further away from your target object.AC INFINITY AC-
TRV3 VPD Thermometer - POWERING AND SETUP 4 EMISSIVITY GUIDE
EMISSIVITY (EMS)
EMS measures an object’s efficiency in emitting thermal radiation and must be accounted for to ensure an accurate reading. Your thermometer’s default EMS setting is 0.98.
ACCURATE READINGS
Set your thermometer’s EMS to closely match the material you are targeting (see page 15 for instructions). The EMS of some common surfaces are listed below.

MEASURED SURFACE EMISSIVITY
STEEL 0.1
GLASS 0.3
ALUMINUM 0.85
WATER 0.93
CERAMICS 0.95
CLAY 0.95
CONCRETE 0.95
CLOTH 0.95
PAPER 0.95
PLASTICS 0.95
HEMP/LEAFY PLANTS 0.98
ICE 0.98
LIMESTONE 0.98
SOIL 0.9–0.98
WOOD 0.9–0.95

USE WITH UISTM DEVICES

MEASURING LEAF OFFSET
Use the climate readings generated by your thermometer to determine your leaf offset. This figure will help ensure that you get the most accurate VPD readings from your UIS devices.
Determine the leaf offset by taking your leaf temperature reading and subtracting your room temperature reading from it.
Note that this can result in a negative number. Round the leaf offset to the nearest whole number and enter this figure into your VPD-enabled device under its settings.
LEAF OFFSET FORMULA
LEAF TEMP – ROOM TEMP = LEAF OFFSET

PROGRAMMING

AC INFINITY AC-TRV3 VPD Thermometer - PROGRAMMING

  1. UP/DOWN BUTTONS
    Cycles through your previous 5 readings and adjusts the value of your current setting. The up button increases and down button decreases the setting. Hold both to reset values to OFF/Default.

  2. SETTING BUTTON
    Cycles through your thermometer’s settings: Emissivity (EMS), °F / °C, CALIB. T° / H% / LEAF T°.

  3. ALERT ICONS
    Displays statuses of the battery, laser, and HOLD statuses, and the emissivity rating.

  4. AMBIENT TEMP.
    Displays the current ambient temperature that your thermometer is detecting.

  5. AMBIENT HUMID.
    Displays the current ambient humidity that your thermometer is detecting.

  6. AIR VPD
    Displays the current air VPD that your thermometer is detecting.

  7. LEAF TEMP.
    Displays the current leaf temperature that your thermometer is detecting.

  8. LEAF VPD
    Displays the current leaf VPD that your thermometer is detecting.

CONTROLLER SETTINGS
Pressing the setting button will cycle through your thermometer’s available settings: Emissivity (EMS), °F / °C, and CALIB. T° / H% / LEAF T°.
EMISSIVITY (EMS)
Adjusts your thermometer’s EMS level. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the EMS level.
°F/°C SETTING
Switches the temperature scale between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Press the up or down button to cycle through F and C. All displayed units will automatically convert when adjusting this setting.

CALIB. TEMP. SETTING
Adjusts the temperature reading your thermometer is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 1° increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -20°F to 20°F (or -10°C to 10°C) and will be applied to the measurements. CALIB. HUMIDITY SETTING
Adjusts the relative humidity reading your thermometer is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 1%  increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -10% to10% and will be applied to the measurements. CALIB. LEAF TEMP. SETTING
Adjusts the VPD reading your thermometer is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 1° increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -20°F to 20°F (or -10°C to 10°C) and will be applied to the measurements.

OTHER SETTINGS

FACTORY RESET
Holding the setting, up, and down buttons together for 5 seconds will reset your controller and restore factory settings. This will clear all user parameters.
LASER TOGGLING
Holding the setting button for 3 seconds will toggle the infrared light off and hide the laser icon from the display.
