The Model IR267 IR thermometer measures and displays non-contact (infrared) temperature readings and ambient air temperature. In addition, the Type K thermocouple provides contact temperature measurements. The built-in laser pointer increases target accuracy while the backlit LCD and handy push-buttons combine for convenient, ergonomic operation. The adjustable emissivity feature allows the IR thermometer to measure the temperature of virtually any surface. This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
Compact non-contact InfraRed (IR) Thermometer measures up to 1112ºF (600ºC) with built-in laser pointer to identify target area and improve aim. Type K input allows for high temperature measurements up to 1832°F (1000°C). Built-in temperature sensor also measures Air Temperature. Adjustable emissivity feature allows for a higher accuracy when measuring temperature on various surfaces.
Meter Power
The meter is powered by one 9V battery located in the meter handle. Refer to the Maintenance section for replacement instructions. The displayed battery icon provides battery status. Replace the battery as soon as the battery status icon flashes.
Non Contact IR Surface Temperature Measurements
The IR267 thermometer remotely measures the surface temperature of an object. The emissivity must be properly set to obtain optimum accuracy (see the Emissivity section for details).
1. Hold the meter by the handle grip and pull (and hold) the trigger to power the meter. Use the arrow button to select the O (object/surface) mode if necessary. Scan the surfaces under test; the symbol S (scan) blinks while scanning. Refer to the Field of View section for distance‐to‐target (spot) ratio considerations.
2. Aim the laser pointer approximately a half inch below a specific point of interest.
3. Release the Trigger; the symbol H will appear and the reading (larger digits at center of display) will hold for 10 seconds, after which the meter will automatically shut off.
4. Note that the smaller digits, lower right, reflect the MIN‐MAX‐AVG or DIF reading as selected in the Settings mode.
5. The meter defaults to the settings in use when the meter was last switched OFF.
Ambient (Air) Temperature Measurements
The IR267 can measure the temperature of ambient air using the recessed temperature sensor located on the front of the meter next to the laser pointer lens.
1. Pull and hold the Trigger to keep the meter powered.
2. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the A (ambient) mode.
3. Hold the meter by its handle grip in the ambient air.
4. When finished, release the Trigger; the symbol H will appear and the ambient air.
5. Temperature reading will hold for 10 seconds.
