Ergonomically designed for a natural hand fit
Small and lightweight
Clips to tool belt or belt loop, or easily fits into tool box
Precise laser technology makes for accurate and repeatable measurements
The 62 MAX+ has dual rotating lasers to help identify area to be measured (the measurement area is the spot between the dots)
Large backlit display makes data easier to read, even in dark areas
Displays the minimum, maximum or average temperature - or the difference between two measurements
Alarm: Hi and Lo alarms for rapid display of measurements outside the limits
62 MAX and 62 MAX+ powered by single, standard AA battery

How accurate are infrared thermometers?

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 sensors, therefore it is essential to always follow a manufacturers guidelines.
