Overview

GAOTek Portable Infrared Thermal Imager (Dual Laser, Tripod Mount) is a non-contact high quality Infrared Thermometer Temperature Tester with a temperature ranging from -58 °F to 716 °F (-50 °C to 380 °C)  and a field of view: 12:1. It is a compact, easy to use and a very useful device for measuring surface of hot, hazardous or hard to reach objects without having to touch them. One has to aim with the laser point, press the button and get the temperature measurements in less than a second. The thermometer is also featured with backlight LCD, large distance to spot ratio (12:1), with 0.95 emissivity, maximum and minimum functions which can take measurements in °C and °F.

Meter View

The meter’s field of view is 12:1. For an example if the meter is 12 inches from the target, the diameter of the object under test must be at least 1 inch. The target should be larger than the unit’s spot size. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. When accuracy is critical, the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.

Emissivity:

0.95 Fixed values

Fixed emissivity (0.95)

Measurement Operations:

  1. Hold the meter by its Handle Grip and point it toward the surface to be measured.
  2. Pull and hold the Trigger to turn the meter on and begin testing. The display will light it the battery is good. Replace the battery if the display does not light.
  3. While measuring, the Scan display icon will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD
  4. While continuing to pull the Trigger:
  • Push the Laser button to turn on the laser pointer. When the laser is on the laser icon will appear on the LCD over the temperature. Aim the red beam approximately a half inch above the point of test (pressing the Laser button again turns the laser off)
  • Select the temperature units (◦C or◦ F) using the C and ◦F buttons
  • Push the backlight key on the LCD backlighting function
  • Press Mode button to change Max/Min value

5. Release the trigger and the Hold display icon will be appeared on the LCD, which indicates that the reading is  being held

6. The meter will automatically power down after approximately 7 seconds after the trigger is released

Measurement Considerations:

Holding the meter by its handle, point the IR sensor toward the object whose temperature is to be measured. The meter automatically compensates for temperature deviations from ambient temperature. It will take up to 30 mins to adjust to wide ambient temperatures are to be measured followed by high temperature measurements. Several minutes are required after the low temperature measurements are made.

This is a result of the cooling process which must take place for the IR sensor.

Locating a hot Spot

To find a hot spot, aim the thermometer outside the area of interest, and then scan across with an up and down motion until user locate hot spot.

Reminders:

  1. Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, etc)
  2. The unit cannot measure through transparent surfaces. It will measure the surface temperature of the glass instead
  3. Steam, dust, smoke etc can prevent accurate measurement by obstructing the unit’s optics

Emissivity:

Most (90 % of typical applications) organic materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To compensate, cove the surface to be measured with masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the tape of painted surface.
