Temperature Measurement


Infrared thermometer simplifies HVAC inspection

April 2007 Temperature Measurement

Within Instrotech's new Eurotron agency is a low-cost professional infrared thermometer: an ideal tool to diagnose, inspect and check temperature in heating, ventilation and airconditioning applications.

The advantage of using non-contact technology is that it allows easy measurement of moving, obstructed or heated objects from a comfortable distance. The MicroRay HVAC range offers immediate response to temperatures from -30°C to +600°C with accuracies of ±1,5°C.

Equipped with Class II Laser, the offset sighting allows the user to identify the approximate centre of the target being measured. The ultra sharp definition makes it easier to read outdoors as well.

A 9 V battery is provided and a kit is available with rechargeable battery and external charger.

With the model HVAC+ there is a connector for contact measurement. The temperature probes are for contact, immersion, penetration and ambient air. One contact probe can be stored inside the unit for easy access.

On the MicroRay HVAC++ model there is a sensor for ambient temperature (ranges -10 to +50°C) and rH (10 to 95% rH) measurement. The internal sensor is ideal to check the comfort index in offices and living rooms. This model can also store up to 64 tests using the realtime clock. Datalogging can be manual or automatic with selectable sampling times.
