The TPI 371 infrared thermometer with laser pointer is for measuring temperature in automotive repair, manufacturing, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications. It measures temperature from -10 to 260 degrees C (14 to 500 degrees F) with an accuracy of + or - 2% of reading or 3.5 degrees F, whichever is greater. The infrared sensor takes measurements from a distance for applications involving hard-to-reach, moving, hot, or electrified equipment. The thermometer has an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio, which means the measurement field measures approximately 8 feet in diameter when the target is 1 foot away. A built-in laser pointer helps improve aiming when taking measurements. The LCD screen displays the current measured temperature, and the operator can choose to display readings in degrees C or F. The backlit display is readable in low light. A hold feature keeps a reading on the display so it can be recorded, and the trigger lock allows continuous measurements. The thermometer operates on one 9V battery (included) and it automatically turns off after 10 seconds of non-use to conserve battery life. It comes with a soft carrying case for transport and storage.SpecificationsTemperature measurement range-10 to 260 degrees C (14 to 500 degrees F)Resolution0.1 degree C or FAccuracy, at 23 degrees C and 0.95 emissivity+ or - 2% of reading or 3.5 degrees F, whichever is greaterDistance-to-spot ratio8:1Emissivity0.95, fixedResponse time1 secondOperating temperature0 to 50 degrees C (32 to 120 degrees F)Power supply9V (one, included)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 ob...
