Supco LIT6P Laser Infrared Thermometer with Probe, -20 to 270 Degrees C, -4 to 518 Degrees F, Accuracy of + or - 1% of Reading Plus 3 Degrees C
The Supco LIT6P infrared thermometer with built-in penetration probe is for measuring surface and internal temperatures in a range of commercial and industrial applications. The infrared sensor measures temperature from -20 to 270 degrees C (-4 to 518 degrees F), with a best accuracy of + or - 1% of the reading plus 3 degrees C (5 degrees F). The infrared sensor takes measurements from a distance for applications involving hard-to-reach, moving, hot, or electrified equipment. The penetration probe takes internal temperature measurements. The infrared sensor has a 6:1 distance-to-spot ratio, which means the measurement field measures approximately 6 feet in diameter when the target is 1 foot away. A built-in laser pointer helps improve aiming accuracy when taking infrared measurements. The 4" stainless steel probe resists wear. The LCD screen displays the current measured temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The display is backlit for readability in low light. The thermometer operates on three AAA batteries (included), and it can be set to automatically shut off after 30 seconds of non-use to conserve battery life. A carrying case is included for transporting and storing the thermometer.

Digital infrared thermometers measure the temperature of surfaces from a distance. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Infrared (IR) thermometers work by focusing the infrared radiation emitted by a surface onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile turns the heat into electricity, which is measured and converted to a temperature reading. The reading is then displayed on an LCD display. IR thermometers are used to measure temperature when an object is fragile, as in ear thermometers, or dangerous to be near, as in the case of industrial equipment.
