Actron, a leader in OBDII diagnostic tools, introduces the IR Thermometer PRO (Product Number CP7876) diagnostic tool. This non-contact temperature reader safely measures surface temperatures of hot, hazardous or hard-to-reach objects. The IR Thermometer PRO is ideal for a variety of applications, including automotive, electrical, HVAC/R, industrial and general home use.
Simply aim the laser pointer at the target, press a button and read the temperature display. The IR Thermometer PRO utilizes an innovative optical lens to provide highly accurate measurements over wide temperature ranges. The unit features S.O.C. (System-On-Chip) technology, which allows a complete IR design to be incorporated on a single chip, providing a lightweight unit that weighs only .5 lbs.
The infrared thermometer measures temperature by sensing the magnitude of radiated energy at infrared frequencies. Using this data and the actual temperature of the detector, the thermometer calculates the temperature of the surface that emitted the energy.
Technicians can use the IR Thermometer PRO to detect overheating electrical components, pinpoint radiator core restrictions, read the temperature of exhaust systems, electronics, cylinder heads, catalytic converters, heating and cooling systems, radiators, air-conditioning systems and brakes.
“This is a handy tool for DIYers and professional mechanics,” says Shilpi Biswas, director – Marketing & Product Development Aftermarket Diagnostic Group for Actron. “It’s a great safety measure because you just point and click to get an accurate temperature.”
