About INFRARED THERMOMETER MT16
The underlying technology for Infrared Radiation Pyrometers is based on the principle that all objects emit radiation at wavelengths in the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Infrared is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies beyond the visible (blue to red, 0.4-0.75 um) response of the human eye.Infrared thermometers measure this radiation and provide an output signal calibrated in a variety of ranges.Precision Measurement Made EasyWith a distance spot ratio of 12:1 and a Class 2 laser pointer, the MT16 ensures accurate, targeted readings from a safe distance. Its fixed emissivity of 0.95 is optimized for common materials, increasing reliability in industrial and laboratory settings.
User-Friendly Operation & DesignWeighing just 150g, the MT16 is lightweight and ergonomically designed for handheld use. The manual, button-controlled interface, backlit LCD, and data hold function make temperature monitoring straightforward and efficient in any work environment.
Versatile Application RangeSuitable for usage in industries like food safety, automation, laboratory research, and HVAC maintenance, the MT16 thermometer handles environmental conditions with operating temperatures between 0C and 50C and relative humidity up to 85%.
FAQ's of INFRARED THERMOMETER MT16:
Q: How do I operate the INFRARED THERMOMETER MT16?
A: The MT16 is operated manually with easily accessible buttons. Simply aim the device at the target, press the measurement button, and view the temperature on the backlit LCD display. The laser pointer helps with accurate positioning.
Q: What is the benefit of using a fixed emissivity value of 0.95?
A: A fixed emissivity of 0.95 is ideal for measuring temperatures of most non-reflective surfaces, such as food, metals, or plastics, saving users the need to adjust settings for common industrial and laboratory materials.
Q: When should I replace the battery in the MT16 thermometer?
A: You should replace the 9V battery (6F22) when the display indicates low power or when the device cannot be switched on. Typically, the battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use before needing replacement.
Q: Where can I use this infrared thermometer?
A: The MT16 can be used in a variety of environments including factories, laboratories, kitchens, HVAC maintenance sites, and other locations that require non-contact temperature measurements within the specified range.
Q: What is the process for measuring temperature with the MT16?
A: To measure temperature, point the thermometer towards the target surface, ensure the area is within the distance spot ratio (12:1), activate the laser pointer for accuracy, and read the temperature instantly on the LCD. Use data hold and min/max functions as needed during measurement.
Q: How does the auto power-off feature work?
A: The auto power-off function automatically switches off the MT16 after 7 seconds of inactivity, helping conserve battery life and ensuring the device remains energy-efficient during prolonged usage.
Q: What safety function does the high/low temperature alarm provide?
A: The built-in high/low temperature alarm alerts users when a reading exceeds preset thresholds, which helps in monitoring critical processes in industrial, food safety, or laboratory settings without continuous manual supervision.
