In addition to fixed-mounted sensors, high-precision handheld IR thermometers are available with advanced features to check product quality, or for use in equipment maintenance, environmental monitoring and safety checks. Overheating is often a sign of underlying problems, and when left undetected, it can result in equipment damage or even personal injury.

Regular temperature measurement should therefore be at the top of your list of things to monitor on a continuous basis. Routine temperature spot checks let you know exactly where potential or existing problems are, and allow you to quickly make in-process adjustments, or schedule repairs before shut-downs occur.

Troubleshooting in Automotive Applications
Portable IR thermometers have become indispensable tools for automotive troubleshooting and diagnostics. Quick noncontact temperature measurements make it easy to identify engine misfires, spot cooling system faults, check for proper A/C performance, verify catalytic converter operation and much more.

Measuring Electrical Components
Noncontact infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object from a safe distance, making them an indispensable tool in any electrical maintenance operation.

Performing Routine Facility Maintenance
The noncontact handheld thermometer easily determines whether motors, boilers, bearings, electrical systems, and all types of operating equipment are functioning properly, and detects signs of developing problems. These instruments quickly and conveniently measure surface temperatures from a safe distance to keep your plant operating efficiently and preventing costly shutdowns.
