Using the latest infrared temperature reading technology, this innovative product will allow you to measure accurately in a fraction of a second temperature levels without the need of touching the object matter. The thermometer is used contact-free for the measurement of stationary or moving objects such as the temperature inside various parts of a fridge or a certain parts of the body. The data is displayed on the LCD together with the minimum and maximum readings.

Continuous temperature measurements can be made by holding down the IR-101's button. Areas that are heating up very quickly, such as on machines or as the result of heat distribution in a room, can be detected in seconds. The IR-101 continuously captures minimum and maximum values and simultaneously displays them below the current temperature for quick evaluation of the hottest and coldest points. A data-hold function stores the last measurement value in the display. The IR-101 features a good D:S (distance to measuring spot) ratio of 5:1. For example, the diameter of the IR-101's measuring area is 10 cm at a 59 cm measuring distance.

Features

• The IR-101 provides easy, contact-free temperature measurement:
• For hard-to-reach and inaccessible locations.
• On and inside buildings (heating and cooling loss, cold spots in a house)
• For foodstuffs (no transfer of germs or opening of packaging)
• On hot components (engines and other machinery, motorsports, model construction)
• For heating and sanitation applications (e.g., heat lost)
• For engineering (how hot is your CPU cooler getting?)
• For cooking (is the griddle, waffle iron or pizza stone up to temperature yet?)
  
  Note: The IR-101 is preset for an emission factor of 0.95. Most surfaces have an emission factor of 0.8 to 0.98 (the darker and less reflective the surface, the greater the emission factor). Please be aware that infrared thermometers are not suitable for measuring the temperature of polished metals, which have a very low emission factor. Affixing adhesive tape to polished metals, or painting them, increases the emission factor and reduces the inaccuracy of the measurement. Also, infrared thermometers cannot be used to measure the temperature of transparent objects or air temperature
