The IR270 infrared thermometer measures temperature over the range of -20 to 650°C with an assured accuracy of ±1°C.

The IR270 incorporates a clear, easy to read, LCD display with low battery, laser and backlight indication and an auto power off facility that turns the instrument off, maximising battery life. 

The thermometer also incorporates an 1 dot laser indicator, which allows you to precisely target the area to be measured. The unit incorporates a 12:1 optic ratio (target distance/diameter ratio), although this thermometer can be used for a wide range of other applications.

Note: If you select Accredited Calibration Certificate (IPAC) when purchasing this product, click the Product Customization TAB and fill in the second field (TEXT - Required temperature calibration points.) with the respective required points or simply attach a copy of a calibration certificate.

To optimize surface temperature accuracy:

1. Determine the emissivity of the object to adjust the spectrum range of the instrument that can be used for measurement.
2. Avoid reflection from other sources of temperature by thermally enveloping the object to be measured
3. For high temperature objects, use smaller wavelength instruments when possible.
4. For semi-transparent materials such as plastic films and glass, make sure that the bottom surface (behind the object) is uniform and below the temperature of the object.
5. Hold the instrument perpendicular to the surface of the object when the emissivity is below 0.9.
6. In all cases, do not exceed the 30 degree angle of incidence.
