The wide measurement range and high resolution allow for a very broad spectrum of applications. At home, you can identify insulation issues by detecting temperature differences on exterior walls, doors, and windows. In both hobbies and professions, the possibilities for using your infrared thermometer seem limitless (e.g., checking the temperature of electrical installations, inspecting heating systems, monitoring food safety, etc.). Additionally, IR thermometers are excellent for checking multiple measurement points from a single location, saving time and money. Adjustable emissivity: Thanks to the adjustable emissivity, the Voltcraft IR 2201-50D USB IR thermometer is suitable for measuring the temperature of various surfaces, whether they are dark masonry or shiny metal parts. Data logger function via USB interface: You can easily transform the IR thermometer into a data logger using its USB interface. All measurements can be saved with a timestamp and transferred to a PC. Many additional features integrated: The Min/Max memory informs you about the measured limit values afterward. Setting a measurement range alarm is also straightforward. If the limit values are exceeded or not reached, the thermometer will alert you with a red flashing backlight. With a quick response time, spot measurements can be conducted rapidly, and the measurement values can then be held on the LCD display using the Data Hold function. Special feature: Pyrometer.
