A connected contact probe or a separate contact thermometer is required. The
emission level is calculated via a comparison of the measured surface temperatures
(contact measurement and IR measurement).
If the temperature differential between the measurement object and the surrounding
environment is too low, an automatic calculation is not possible (display: - - -) and the
previously set value is retained.
