Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun for Cooking, BBQ, Pizza Oven

This infrared thermometer is designed for safely and quickly measuring the surface temperature of various hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects without direct 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 translates the energy into an electrical signal, which is amplified and processed before being displayed on the LCD.

When taking measurements, it's important to consider the distance-to-spot-size ratio, which is 12:1 for this unit. As the distance (D) from the target surface increases, the spot size (S) of the area measured by the unit becomes larger. To ensure accuracy, the target should be larger than the unit's spot size. For critical measurements, the target should be at least twice the size of the spot.

The unit is preset with an emissivity of 0.95, which is suitable for most organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces. However, measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces may result in inaccurate readings. To compensate, the target surface can be covered with masking tape or flat black paint, and the measurement should be taken when the tape or paint has reached the same temperature as the material underneath.

To avoid potential harm or damage, users should carefully inspect the plastic housing before use and never point the laser directly at the eyes or indirectly off reflective surfaces. The unit should also not be used in environments with explosive gas, steam, or dust.

To prevent damage to the unit or the target, users should protect it from electromagnetic fields from arc welders or induction heaters, as well as from thermal shock caused by large or abrupt ambient temperature changes. The unit should not be left on or near objects of high temperature.

The unit features several user-friendly functions, including: 1. Trigger-activated display: Pull the trigger to display the reading with the SCAN icon, release the trigger to display the reading with the HOLD icon. 2. Laser on/off button 3. Celsius/Fahrenheit switch button 4. Backlight on/off button: The backlight will activate with any operation.

The unit has the following specifications: - Temperature range: -50°C to 500°C (-58°F to 932°F) - Accuracy: ±1.5°C (±2.7°F) or ±1.5% of reading, whichever is greater - Resolution: 0.1°C or 0.1°F - Repeatability: 1% of reading or 1°C - Response time: 500 ms, 95% response - Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) - Operating humidity: 10% to 90% RH, non-condensing up to 30°C (86°F) - Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) - Power: 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries - Typical battery life: 12 hours with laser off

Overall, this infrared thermometer is a versatile and user-friendly tool for safely measuring the surface temperature of a wide range of objects.
