PRODUCT OVERVIEW

FEATURES

• Temperature Range: It can measure temperatures from -50°C to 400°C (-58°F to 752°F), so it can be used for a lot of different tasks.
• Accuracy: It has a high level of accuracy, with a range of ±1.5°C or ±1.5%, so you can trust the temperature readings for exact tasks.
• °C or °F Setting: Makes it easy for users to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units, based on their needs or preferences.
• Resolution: Offers a fine resolution of 0.1°C or 0.1°F, which lets you measure temperatures more accurately by giving you more information.
• Conditions of Use: It is made to work in temperatures between 10°C and 40°C and humidity levels between 10 and 90% RH, so it will work well in a variety of settings.
• Temperature for Storage: It can be kept safely between -10°C and 40°C, which will make the device last longer.
• Response Time: It has a response time of less than 0.8 seconds, which makes it easy to measure temperatures quickly.
• This tool has a distance-to-spot ratio of 12:1, which means that as the distance from the target area grows, so does the size of the spot it measures, which can affect how accurate it is.
• Emissivity Setting: This setting lets users change the emissivity from 0.1 to 0.99, with 0.95 being the default. This makes sure that the temperature numbers are true for all materials.
• Power Source: It runs on two AAA batteries, so you don’t need to plug it into a wall or use an external power source.
• Backlighting: It has an LCD screen with backlighting that makes it easy to read temperature readings even when there isn’t much light.
• Automatic Power Off: This has an extra feature that turns off the device automatically after 10 seconds of inaction to save battery life.
• Multifunctionality: It can be used for many things, like finding air leaks, cooking, grilling, checking the temperature in your fridge, and home fixes (but not for measuring your body temperature).
• Laser Precision: It has a laser built in for accurate aiming, so users can lock in on the exact area they want to measure.
• Safety: It has a handle and is easy to use, so people can measure temperature without touching the surface directly. This keeps things safe and clean.
