Ir chill infrared thermometer - eti 814-090
ETI 814-090 - The IR-Chill thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of chill cabinets, freezers and cold storage units. Simply aim the thermometer at the target and press the measurement button to display the surface temperature instantly, with little ambient effect. The IR-Chill indicates temperature over the range of -9.9 to 219.9 C with a resolution of 0.1 C.
Each unit incorporates maximum and minimum temperature functions together with an auto power off facility that automatically turns the instrument off after 15 seconds, maximising battery life. A lock function is included for continuous temperature measurement, this is particularly useful when scanning a number of products in chill cabinets. The distance to target ratio is 1:1 therefore the thermometer should be positioned as close to the target as possible. The default emissivity is 0.95 but is adjustable from 0.01 to 1, so you can point and measure just about any surface.
The IR-Chill is perfect for supermarkets, food processors and general purpose applications. Whilst the IR-Chill is cheaper than many infrared gun-type thermometers, it out-performs most in low temperature applications.
why use an IR-Chill thermometer?
The accuracy of electronic infrared (IR) thermometers is often affected by the temperature of the environment in which they are being used. Large changes in the ambient temperature can introduce errors in the readings of the IR thermometer. When an IR thermometer is first taken into a refrigerated space, the readings may be as much as five or six degrees different. If the IR thermometer is allowed to acclimatise to the new ambient temperature before being used, it will provide fairly accurate readings.
Most IR thermometers are fitted with a lens to focus energy on the IR sensor. Many use a Fresnel lens made of plastic materials. These are particularly susceptible to thermal shock. Some IR thermometers use a Mica lens, these are less susceptible to thermal shock but will still display an error of a few degrees.
The IR-Chill is designed to be used only a few inches from the surface being measured, so the lens is eliminated completely. The electronics incorporate an accurate temperature compensation circuit to inimise thermal drift. Therefore, the IR-Chill gives maximum reading accuracy in changing ambient temperatures. This means that you can come and go between cold and warm environments and take accurate temperatures on the move.
