The Extech IR301 infrared thermometer is a combination non-contact IR thermometer and probe thermometer. The Extech IR301 infrared thermometer is equipped with an LCD display which features both IR and probe temperatures simultaneously.

The non-contact Extech IR301 infrared thermometer has a 1:1 distance to target ratio and a temperature range of -27 to 428°F (-33 to 220°C). The MIN and MAX modes allow the user to take measurements while only viewing the highest (MAX) or lowest (MIN) reading.

The Extech IR301 infrared thermometer also has an adjustable 4.5 inch (114 mm) contact Type K probe. Made of stainless steel, this probe folds into storage position when not in use. The probe has a temperature range of -67 to 626°F (-55 to 330°C). The Extech IR301 infrared thermometer compensates for deviations in ambient temperature, although it can take up to 30 minutes for the meter to adjust to extremely wide ambient temperature changes.

The combination Extech IR301 infrared thermometer and probe thermometer is powered by a CR2032 button battery and provides 30 hours of continuous use (minimum).

Infrared Thermometry - Technology Explained:

Infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance by detecting the amount of thermal electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object being measured. This allows users to accurately measure surface temperatures in hazardous or hard-to-reach places, or other situations in which non-contact temperature measurement is desirable. Infrared thermometer technology is useful in a wide range of applications – including industrial, laboratory, food service, fire fighting, hobby, and home use.

While the technology is relatively simple, the myriad of names given to these devices can be confusing. "Laser Thermometers" makes reference to the laser that helps aim the thermometer. "IR Sensors" and "IR Thermometers" make use of a common abbreviation for "infrared". "Non-Contact Thermometers" is descriptive of the device's ability to measure temperature from a distance. "Radiation Pyrometers" is a scientific/technical term for these devices.
