This design is a compact, non-contact (infrared) thermometer with a 12:1 distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio and a wide measurement range of -40° to 1076°F. Using this IR thermometer and its unique Star Burst laser targeting system (which helps to define the size of the target area), the temperature of a target can easily and accurately be measured from a distance. This makes it possible to safely measure the temperature of very hot or cold surfaces, hard-to-reach objects and toxic substances.

Q:How do you put the battery in it?
by|Jun 18, 2020
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Open the battery compartment by pulling its cover away from the grip. Then plug the 9V battery that comes with the IRT657 into the wired socket inside the compartment. The terminals of the battery and the socket mate in only one way, with the smaller male terminal plugging into the larger female terminal. Close the battery compartment by snapping it shut.

          Q:How do you celebrate the IRT206 temperature gun? Or tell if it is the correct temp?
          by|Mar 10, 2019
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  The IRT206 requires special lab equipment to calibrate it. If you want to check whether or not it is reading accurately within the specified accuracy, you would need a target with an already know temperature. An easy example would be a cup of boiling water since the temperature of boiling water is known.

            Q:can it be used to measure AC air out of AC vents?
            by|Jun 29, 2018
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  Hi Mimi, this IRT is meant to measure surface temperature only. If you think the AC vents surface would have the same temperature as the AC air coming out, then you can point the IRT at the AC vents to get the AC air temperature. Hope this helps.

              Very good tool. Easy to use. Accuracy (+/- 3F above 32F and +/-5F below 32F) might not be good enough for critical applications.

              the metering portion of this device does a good job, and it has an excellent range of temperatures. But the visibility aspects of it are less admirable. The laser dot is not very bright compared to another thermometer I have, and the temperature display has a very shallow angle of view. If you're not directly behind the meter it can't be read.

              Excellent tool!
              Best temperature range I could find, and it proved to be very sensitive. I even found an air leak around a chimney, that I wasn't aware of. I would have given it 5 stars, but the targeting laser was very out of alignment. If it had a way to adjust laser alignment, it would have been much easier to use.
