Description
Feature
- One of the best advantages of a contactless infrared thermometer is its quick response. With SK-8920 you can easily and instantly measure surface temperature in one hand.
- Applicable for a wide range of food-related temperature from –40 in a freezer to 250°C on a frying pan. Using a single-point laser marker helps you identify the object at a glance.
- D:S = 10:1 (D is distance to the object, S is a diameter of a spot circle)
Three different emissivity described with illustration on the body, 0.85, 0.92, and 0.95 are available.
- Certified for PSC, a standard based on Japan’s Consumer Product Safety Act, as a class II portable laser device.
- Turns off the power automatically if the trigger is not in use for 6 seconds, to prevent from running out the battery even when you forget to turn it off. Press the trigger again to power on.
- Automatic hold function keeps the measured value on the LCD for 6 seconds.
- Traceable calibration available
Description
Caution! This device is for industrial use, not for clinical use.
What is the distance-to-spot ratio?
A distance-to-spot ratio, which is the ratio of the Distance between the object and the thermometer to the size of the Spot, is preset at D:S = 10:1 for SK-8920. For example, if the distance is 500 mm, a spot circle of diameter 50 mm can be measured. Make sure that the object is larger than the circle.
The spot circle is defined as an area to receive 90% of the emitted energy from the object.
Warning: Do not look into the laser marker source or point it on eyes as it may damage eyes.
SK-8920 conforms to the Class II in the Standard for Safe Use of Laser Products (JIS C6802) which is defined as follows: A visible light (wavelength between 400 and 700 nm) with an output level less than 1 mW that a human’s protective response can resist.
PSC mark is labeled on the device to prove its quality based on Japan’s Consumer Product Safety Act.
