Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 42580 IR Thermometer Printer-

Datalogger. This device measures temperature using a non-contact IR sensor. The

Datalogger feature stores up to 100 readings in each set (4 sets total) for a total of 400

readings. The Printer provides a hard copy of individual readings or entire data sets. PC

software permits downloading of data for further analysis. Careful use of this meter will

provide years of reliable service.

the button.

3. The printer will print the temperature, date and time.

4. Press the button to feed the paper.

Model 42580 Version 2.2 11/03

Field of View

The meter’s field of view is 8:1, meaning that if the meter is 8 inches from the target, the

diameter of the object under test must be at least 1 inch. Other distances are shown below

in the field of view diagram. Refer to the chart printed on the meter for more information.

Measurement Notes

1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field

of view diagram (see diagram on previous page or on side of the meter).

2. If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before

taking measurements.

3. If an object's surface is highly reflective apply masking tape or flat black paint before

measuring.

4. The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfaces such

as glass.

5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. will affect measurements.

6. The meter compensates for deviations in ambient temperature. It can, however, take

up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide ambient temperature

changes.

7. To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up

and down motion) until the hot spot is located.

Datalogging

Overview

The Model 42580 has two datalogging modes of operation, Manual Datalogging and

Automatic Datalogging. Each has 4 sets. Each set can hold 99 readings. Data sets can be

printed in their entirety.:

•Manual Datalogging: Up to 99 readings can be stored in Sets 1, 2, 3, & 4. Data storage

is performed manually by pressing followed by for each data point

(detailed in subsequent sections).

•Automatic Datalogging: Up to 99 readings can be stored in Sets 5, 6, 7, & 8. In

Automatic Datalogging mode, the user programs the recording start & stop date & time,

and the recording interval. Automatic Datalogging.

day is the date programmed in the END line.

4. To stop the datalogger before the programmed

SUSPEND time, press the 0 button.

5. To view the data recorded, press the

key twice. The data will be listed as shown in

the ‘Measure Screen’ diagram at right.

6. Use the numeric keys to move quickly through the data list. Pressing the ‘1’ key calls

up data point ‘01’; pressing the ‘2’ key calls up data point ‘21’, and so on.

7. To print data from the list, press the button. Press again when the

PRINT? display appears.

8. To clear (erase) the recorded data, press and hold the button for 2-3 seconds

with the data list shown on the display.

Backlight button

Editing Names and Labels:

The 42580 has the capability of storing a 14 character label with each set or record.

The label can be entered either through the numeric keypad or the optional software. (See

the software section for instructions on entering labels via the software)

To create a label, with the (11111111) cursor next to the set# or record, press to

switch to a single character cursor (1).

Press any button repeatedly to scroll through the available characters.

If the button is not active for a short period of time the character selected will be written to

the screen.

Press the or buttons to scroll forward or backwards.

For example, to select the letter ‘T’, press the ‘8’ key five times. The meter will move the

cursor to the next digit place automatically. Note that the ‘1’ button has special characters

in addition to the numeral ‘1’. The ‘0’ key has a blank space in addition to the numeral ‘0’.

Press to store the name.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe instrument with damp cloth as needed. Do not apply solvents or abrasives to the

meter. Store in a cool dry place with the batteries removed.

Battery Replacement

When the batteries weaken, the LCD display will dim or go completely blank. To replace

the batteries, open the rear battery compartment and insert four (4) new 1.5V ‘AA’ batteries

with correct polarity position.

Paper roll replacement

When the paper roll is depleted, flip up the

paper compartment, drop in a new roll, and

feed the paper using the LF button. New paper

rolls are available through Extech instruments

and Extech distributors.

Emissivity Considerations

The amount of IR energy emitted by an object is proportional to an object's temperature and

its ability to emit energy. This ability is known as emissivity and is based upon the material of

the object and its surface finish. Emissivity values range from 0.1 for a very reflective object

to 1.00 for a flat black finish. The 42580 senses IR energy and calculates the temperature

based upon the amount of IR energy it receives using a factory default emissivity setting of

0.95 (this setting covers 90% of applications).

Most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity factor of 0.95.

Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces which have

emissivity factors other than 0.95. To compensate for polished/shiny surfaces, cover the

surface with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time, before measuring, for the tape to

reach the same temperature as the material underneath it.

Emissivity Factors for Common Materials

Material under test Emissivity Material under test Emissivity

Asphalt 0.90 to 0.98 Cloth (black) 0.98

Concrete 0.94 Skin (human) 0.98

Cement 0.96 Lather 0.75 to 0.80

Sand 0.90 Charcoal (powder) 0.96

Soil 0.92 to 0.96 Lacquer 0.80 to 0.95

Water 0.92 to 0.96 Lacquer (matt) 0.97

Ice 0.96 to 0.98 Rubber (black) 0.94

Snow 0.83 Plastic 0.85 to 0.95

Glass 0.90 to 0.95 Timber 0.90

Ceramic 0.90 to 0.94 Paper 0.70 to 0.94

Marble 0.94 Chromium Oxides 0.81

Plaster 0.80 to 0.90 Copper Oxides 0.78

Mortar 0.89 to 0.91 Iron Oxides 0.78 to 0.82

Brick 0.93 to 0.96 Textiles 0.90
