Infrared thermometers are not harmful, they do not emit radiation, only measure it like a digital camera.

The majority of IR thermometers have a measurement error specification, which shows their best accuracy. The surface being measured can also affect accuracy. Reflective objects result in lower measurements than the actual temperature, whilst non-reflective surfaces give higher measurement. The emissivity of a surface is how effective it is at emitting energy as thermal radiation, as such some IR thermometers have adjustable emissivity settings.
Distance to spot ratio is also essential in providing accurate temperature measurements, if an infrared thermometer is too close to its target area, heat can build up in the device. This can give false readings or damage the temperature sensors, therefore it is essential to always follow a manufacturers guidelines.

Hard carry case, type K bead thermocouple, 2 x AA batteries, quick start guide and user manual on CD-ROM

To keep your system – and yourself – safe, use this infrared thermometer from FLUKE. Its single-point laser lets you hone in on objects from a distance, making it just the thing for temperature measurements in hazardous areas. A trigger button and user-friendly menus mean it's a doddle to operate. The device comes with a Type K thermocouple bead probe for contact measurements, making it a versatile choice. Its distance-to-spot ratio of 30:1 helps you pinpoint small objects from afar. Thanks to its wide temperature measurement range between -40°C and +650°C, this tough option doesn't break a sweat in demanding environments.

• Logs up to 20 data points for easy recording and analysis
• Long battery life up to 100 hours for long-term use
• Audible and visual alerts let you know when limits are exceeded
• Two-level backlit display lets you see your results clearly in low-light conditions

• Food processing
• Electrical installations
• HVAC systems

This infrared thermometer can measure the temperature of common materials including metals, glass and wood. It's also suitable for monitoring oil and food. The emissivity is adjustable, so you can accurately detect the temperature of matt and shiny surfaces.
