How the Thermometers Work
Operating the Thermometer
Temperature Measurement
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object. The thermometer’s
optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused
onto a detector. The unit’s electronics translate the signal into a temperature reading
which the unit displays (see Figure 3).
To measure temperature, point the thermometer at an object and pull the trigger. You can
use the laser pointer to help aim the thermometer. You may also insert the K-type
thermocouple probe for contact measurement. Be sure to consider distance-to-spot size
ratio and field of view (see “Distance and Spot Size” and “Field of View”). The
temperature appears on the display.
The thermometer features an auto off function that automatically powers down the
thermometer after 20 seconds of inactivity. To turn the thermometer on, pull the trigger.
The laser is used for aiming purposes only and is not related to temperature
measurement.
