Non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometer for Cooking and BBQ

Product Description

This infrared thermometer is designed for safely and quickly measuring the temperature of an object's surface, particularly for hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects without making contact. It consists of optics, a temperature sensor, a signal amplifier, a processing circuit, and an LCD display. The optics collect the infrared energy emitted by the object and focus it onto the sensor. The sensor then converts the energy into an electrical signal, which is processed and displayed digitally on the LCD. The unit has a Distance to Spot size ratio of 12:1.

When using the thermometer, it's important to pay attention to the Distance to Spot Size ratio as the target surface's distance affects the size of the area being measured. The unit is equipped with a laser for aiming and has a field of view that should match the target's size. The default emissivity setting is 0.95, suitable for most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces. Shiny or polished metal surfaces may result in inaccurate readings, requiring the target to be covered with masking tape or black paint.

Warnings should be heeded to prevent any potential harm or damage. Avoid pointing the laser directly at the eyes or reflective surfaces. The unit should not be used in environments with explosive gas, steam, or dust. Caution is also advised to protect the unit and target from EMF sources, thermal shock, and exposure to high temperatures.

The thermometer features a trigger for scanning and holding readings, with a built-in 8-second auto power-off function. It has buttons for laser activation, Celsius/Fahrenheit conversion, and backlight control for night use. The device operates on 1.5V AAA batteries with a typical battery life of 12 hours with the laser off. It has a temperature range of -50℃ to 500℃ (-58℉ to 932℉), with an accuracy of ±1.5℃ or ±1.5% depending on the temperature range. The resolution is 0.1℃ or 0.1℉, with a response time of 500 milliseconds and a Distance to Spot size ratio of 12:1.

In conclusion, this infrared thermometer is a versatile and accurate tool for various applications, providing convenient temperature measurements at a safe distance.
