, a leading global manufacturer of professional tools for the construction, sanitary and industrial sectors, has introduced a remote-controlled infrared thermometer. Updated instrument with improved sensitivity and extended range provides fast and accurate temperature measurement of all surfaces at the touch of a button. Adapted for applications where proximity to red-hot objects is physically impossible or restricted by safety regulations.
Remote thermometer micro IR-200
Infrared thermometers-pyrometers are used for temperature control of technological equipment in various industries, and in public utilities – for the monitoring of boilers and heating substations, quality control of insulation of pipelines and buildings. Electricians use such devices for effective diagnostics of electric lines, transformers, electric motors, etc.d.
The micro IR-200 remote sensing thermometer has an extended measuring range from -50ºC to +1200ºC, as well as an improved 30:1 sighting ratio distance/spot size . It means that at the distance of 3 m from the surface the diameter of the measured spot is only 10 cm, which enables to measure with safe distance and high accuracy the temperature of small critical units and structural elements, such as shut-off and control equipment in chemical production or fuses in high-voltage electrical equipment.
“Following the wishes of professionals, our developers have created a new instrument for more accurate and rapid measurements. Now the production worker or electrician will be able to take all the necessary readings faster, detect malfunction or overheating of electrical appliances in time, without getting close to dangerous units,” says Andrey Makarov, head of RIDGID’s American division. – Such devices are becoming popular not only in industry and energy, but also in American public utilities. They allow us to diagnose heating problems and monitor the performance of heating equipment much more effectively than with traditional methods, saving time and money for building management companies and homeowners associations.
For user convenience, the IR-200 thermometer gives audible and visual signals when the object temperature is outside the selected measurement range. Bright backlighting for display can be turned on in poor lighting conditions. And for multiple and accurate measurements the device is completed with a tripod.
