WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service, follow these instructions.
- Read the instructions to ensure safe operation.
- Always wear approved eye protection.
- Do not use if the housing is damaged in any way.
- DO NOT use if the USB-C connector, micro-USB connector/adapter is damaged in any way.
- There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DO NOT open or attempt to repair.

EMISSIVITY
Emissivity is a measure of the ability of a surface to emit thermal energy by
radiation. Different types of surfaces (metals, masonry, wood, etc.) emit
thermal energy through radiation at different efficiencies. Accordingly, these
materials have different emissivity coefficients which must be considered in
order to make accurate measurements with an infrared thermometer.
Emissivity on the TI220 may be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.99 to enable accurate
measurement of the temperature of most types of materials. Generally speaking,
shiny bright surfaces such as chrome, white boards, etc. exhibit lower
emissivity than flat black materials.
For guidance only, the chart below may be used to estimate emissivity for many
different types of materials. However, the emissivity of surfaces is dependent
upon many parameters such as surface finish, temperature, shape of the
object, etc. This chart should be used for guidance only.
Material | Emissivity |
---|---|
Asphalt | 0.93 |
Red brick | 0.93 |
Gray brick | 0.75 |
Porcelain ceramic | 0.92 |
Fired clay | 0.91 |
Rough concrete | 0.94 |
Cotton cloth | 0.77 |
Smooth glass | 0.92 – 0.94 |
Granite | 0.45 |
Gravel | 0.28 |
Smooth ice | 0.97 |
Smooth white marble | 0.56 |
Black paint | 0.96 |
Hard rubber | 0.94 |
Wood | 0.80 – 0.90 |
Matte copper | 0.22 |
Commercial sheet aluminum | 0.09 |
Cold rolled steel | 0.75 – 0.85 |
