Incoming food, food on display, food in storage. The ScanTemp 450 infrared thermometer allows you to carry out quick and reliable temperature and food safety checks in the course of your busy working day. Ideal for use in the food sector, restaurants, hotels, catering and the retail industry.

This infra-red thermometer has a clear, easy to read, LCD display with low battery indication and incorporates an auto power off facility that turns the instrument off after 60 seconds, maximising battery life. The ScanTemp 450 now features an eight dot circle laser indicator, which allows you to precisely target the diameter of the area to be measured. As you move closer or further from the target the laser circle changes diameter.

The ScanTemp 450 three-button keypad allows the user to select °C/°F and max/min. Additionally, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature and the average temperature can be displayed.

Two instruments in one

The ScanTemp 450 infrared thermometer incorporates a miniature thermocouple type K probe socket (probe not supplied) that enables a wide range of type K thermocouple probes to be used for a variety of temperature measurement applications, including air, liquid and surface temperatures.

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.
