4. Intended Use
0516 8302
testo 830 is a compact infrared thermometer for the non-contact
0554 0051
measurement of surface temperatures. Using testo 830-T2, it is

9. Service and Maintenance

9.2 Clean instrument
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solutions.
Clean the housing with a damp cloth (soap water).
Carefully clean the lens with water or cotton buds dipped in
water or medical alcohol.
11.2 Emissivity
Materials have different emissivities, i.e. they emit different levels
of electromagnetic radiation. The emissivity of testo 830 is set in
the factory to 0.95. This is the ideal value for measuring non-
metals, plastics and food (paper, ceramics, plaster, wood, paints
and varnishes).
Bright metals and metal oxides are only suited to a limited extent
to infrared measurement on account of their low or nonuniform
emissivity.
Apply emissivity enhancing layers such as varnish or emission
adhesive tape (Item no. 0554 0051) to the object being
measured. If this is not possible, measure with the contact
thermometer.

11. Information on infrared measurement
11.1 Measurement method
Infrared measurement is an optical measurement
Keep lens clean.
Do not measure with clouded lens.
Keep measurement field (area between instrument and object
being measured) free of interferences: no dust and dirt
particles, no moisture (rain, steam) or gases.
Infrared measurement is a surface measurement
If there is dirt, dust, frost etc. on the surface, only the top layer will
be measured, i.e. the dirt.
In the case of shrinkwrapped foodstuffs, do not measure in air
pockets.
If values are critical, always subsequently measure using a
contact thermometer. Particularly in the food sector, the core
temperature should be measured with a penetration/immersion
thermometer.
Adaptation time
If the ambient temperature changes (change of location, e.g.
inside/outside measurement) the instrument needs an adaptation
time of 15 minutes for infrared measurement.
11.3 Measurement spot, Distance
A specific spot is determined depending on the distance from the
measuring instrument to the object being measured.

measurement
Observe minimum penetration depth in immersion/penetration
probes: 10 x probe diameter
Avoid applications in corrosive acids or bases.
Do not use spring-loaded surface probes on sharp edges.
