Gun Style IR Thermometer
The SIG1 thermometer is a low cost, standalone non-contact infrared thermometer. Simply aim the thermometer at the target and pull the “trigger” to display the surface temperature. The temperature measured will be the average of all the temperatures in the field of view. The closer you are to the target, the smaller the area. The further away, the larger the area measured. The infrared temperature measurement is fast and easy. It works best for fast readings, relative readings (one to another or the same one at different times), or temperature readings of hard to reach places.
Laser Sight!
When the trigger is pulled the red laser dot will shine about 1/4” above the center of the circular area being measured by the thermometer. Be sure to remove protective cap before taking measurements.
Applications:
- “Shoot” an inside wall for quick and fast indoor ambient temperature reading.
- Heating and air conditioning where fast and/or easy measurement is most important.
- Motor bearings: high temperature can indicate bearings that might need replacement.
- Circuit breakers: a circuit breaker that is not operating properly can get hot. By scanning a panel, you will be able to find the hot one.
- Poor power line connections: a bad connection can get hot.
