568 handheld thermometer

The 568 handheld thermometer offers broad infrared (IR) temperature measurement functionality, an on-screen menu system and a dot-matrix display. It combines contact and non-contact temperature measurement capability in a single, easy-to-use tool. The thermometers have a temperature measurement range from –40°F to 1472°F at 1% measurement accuracy. Via a soft-key menu display, users can set alarms, log data and adjust emissivity with a few pushes of a button. Allowing users to choose a numerical setting or an item from the built-in materials table, the adjustable emissivity feature enables users to more accurately measure a wide variety of surfaces by compensating for shiny surfaces. The device’s display has two levels of backlight to facilitate viewing and features a distance-to-spot ratio of 50:1, so users can measure smaller objects or take readings from further away. The thermometer can capture and store up to 99 points of data, which can be viewed on the unit or downloaded quickly to a computer via a USB connection for later analysis and trending.
