PCE-889 infrared thermometer
professional handheld device for a non-contact measurement of temperature, with adjustable emissivity, optical resolution of 50:1 and a temperature range of up to 1000°C

With the PCE-889 infrared thermometer, the professional has a tool to measure surface temperatures. Some of the most attractive features of the infrared thermometer are its clear laser point, wide temperature range and adjustable emissivity (depending on the material). Thanks to its high optical resolution of 50:1 you can measure an object's temperature from a substantial distance. Due to it's small point diameter of 6mm at a distance of 30cm, the temperature of small construction parts can be determined. This infrared thermometer with adjustable K value (emission levels) can be used to measure the temperature of different materials. Here is a table of K values for different materials. At this link you can see more information about the temperature units that are used internationally. Here you will find another model of infrared thermometer similar to this one or different infrared thermometers to measure temperature.

Measurement point ratio

The distance of the infrared thermometer from the object and the size of the measurement point are related. It must be taken into consideration that measurements from a greater distance generate a much larger measurement point resulting in a measured temperature over a larger surface area. The image above demonstrates the correct way to use the infrared thermometer. At a distance of 2.4m, the measurement point has a surface area of 16mm and at a distance of only 30cm, the point is just 6mm, which is suitable for small components.

Examples of use for the PCE-889 infrared thermometer

The range of uses for the infrared thermometer is extensive. These devices are widely used in all industrial processes, at both a professional and an amateur level, to control electrical units in cabinets or to check the temperatures on engine components. As an example, below you can see a video of the thermometer making a temperature measurement of an engine block next to the nozzles.
