FAQ
Can the TC005 detect objects underwater, through glass or a
wall?
No. Infrared detectors mainly detects 8 to 14 μm long-wave
infrared areas, and can only be used to measure surface
temperature.
Why is there a lower temperature reading when the device
gets far from the object and a higher reading when the
device gets closer to the object?
Infrared radiation attenuates when passing through the
atmosphere. The longer the distance, the greater the
attenuation. Thus, the accuracy of temperature measurement at
a distance will decrease.
To ensure accuracy of measurement, go to Setting > Measure
Parameter > Distance, and input the actual distance (max: 5
meters) to get the corrected temperature.
Why is the measured temperature not very precise?
The temperature resolution of TC005 is ±2%. And the TC005
provides a normal temperature range of -4 to 302°F (-20 to
150°C), and a high temperature range of 302° to 1022°F (150 to
550°C). Please select the corresponding range in the app before
measuring.
What external factors will affect the infrared temperature
measurement?
The following factors will have an impact on the measurement
results:
a) Emissivity of the object surface.
b) Ambient temperature: The object will reect the infrared
rays emitted by surrounding objects, which affects the
temperature measurement of the object itself.
c) Atmospheric temperature: The atmosphere itself also emits
infrared rays.
d) Atmospheric transmittance: the infrared rays emitted by the
object are attenuated in the atmosphere.
e) Distance: the longer the distance, the greater the attenuation
of the infrared rays emitted by the object in the atmosphere.
