The only way to tell is to switch gauges and probes.
You can check the low end accuracy by removing the sensor with the wire leads still connected and place it in boiling water. The temperature should read 212 deg. F.

By the way you must use the thermocouple wire that came with the pyrometer. You cannot splice the wire unless you use thermocouple extension wire.
