The TME SK-8700 Mini Infra-Red Thermometer is a portable hand-held device for quickly and accurately measuring the temperature of any object. In the range of -20°C to +200°C it is accurate to ±2°C and over 200°C it is accurate to 1%. Resolution is to the nearest 1° and is selectable in either Celcius or Fahrenheit.How does it work? All objects emit infrared energy. The hotter an object is, the more active its molecules are, and the more infrared energy it emits. An infrared thermometer houses optics that collect the radiant infrared energy from the object and focuses it onto a detector. The detector converts the energy into an electrical signal, which is amplified and displayed.
Use SK-8700 with fixed emissivity to measure surface temperature of many materials such as asphalt, most ceramics, and highly oxidized metals. The laser sighting feature helps your aiming accuracy.
The thermometer comes supplied complete with a vinyl protective cover, 9V battery, hand strap, lens cover and vinyl carrying/storage pouch.

(*) Emissivity: An object's ability to emit or absorb energy. Perfect emitters have an emissivity of 1. An object with emissivity of 0.8 absorbs 80% and reflects 20% of the incidental energy. Emissivity may vary with temperature and spectral response (wavelength).(**) Distance-to-target-size ratio: The infrared thermometer focuses infrared energy form an object onto its detector at the rate. An 8:1 distance to target size ratio means that the infrared thermometer will read 10cm diameter area 80cm away.
(***) Spectral Response: The specific wavelength region where an infrared thermometer responds (in the 0.7 to 20ƒÊm band of the electromagnetic spectrum). Instrument response is dependent on the emissivity, reflectance, and the transmission of infrared energy. A spectral response in the range of 8 to 14ƒÊm is good for general use.
