Extech infrared thermometers are used to measure surface temperatures up to 1400 degrees F (760 degrees C) with a built-in laser pointer which identifies the target area and improves the aim. These units feature an adjustable high / low audible alarm and an adjustable emissivity function that increases the measurement accuracy on different reflective surfaces. They further come equipped with a lock function for continuous display of readings, a 9 V battery, a carrying case and a user manual. Choose from an extensive range of these infrared thermometers, available in 150, 300 and 1000 msec response time options on Raptor Supplies.
When activated, light reflects off the object's surface and detects radiation the thing is emitting.
The thermometer accurately deduces the temperature from that electrical emission.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to clean infrared thermometers?
Make sure the metre is off before cleaning it with a fresh dry, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using chemicals or harsh cleaners. Be sure to keep the sensor lens clean.
Clean compressed air can remove loose particles from the lens if necessary.
A delicate cloth or cotton swab dampened with water or rubbing alcohol to clean lenses. Before usage, the lens must be dry.
Where is an infrared thermometer most accurate on living beings?
The wrist is the most suitable spot to take a temperature reading.
What is the emissivity of infrared thermometers?
The ability of a surface to radiate thermal energy is measured by its emissivity.
Different surface types (metals, masonry, wood) radiate heat with varying degrees of efficiency. As a result, these materials have various emissivity coefficients to obtain precise readings from infrared thermometers.
