TPI 381 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser, 9V Battery, -20 to 300 Degrees C, -4 to 572 Degrees F, Best Accuracy of + or - 2% of Reading

The TPI 381 infrared thermometer with laser is for measuring temperature in food safety, automotive repair, manufacturing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications. The infrared sensor measures temperature from -20 to 300 degrees C (-4 to 572 degrees F) with a best accuracy of + or - 2% of the reading or 3.5 degrees F, whichever is greater. The infrared sensor measures temperature from a distance for applications involving hard-to-reach, moving, hot, or electrified equipment. It has an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio, which means the measurement field measures approximately 8 feet in diameter when the target is 1 foot away. A built-in laser pointer helps improve aiming accuracy when taking measurements. The LCD screen displays the current measured temperature, it can recall the last reading measured before the thermometer was turned off. The operator can choose to display readings in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The hold function keeps a measurement on the display so it can be recorded. The display is backlit for readability in low light. The thermometer operates on one 9V battery. It automatically turns off after 10 seconds of non-use to conserve battery life. A soft carrying pouch helps protect the meter during transport and storage.

*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Digital infrared thermometers measure the temperature of surfaces from a distance. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Infrared (IR) thermometers work by focusing the infrared radiation emitted by a surface onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile turns the heat into electricity, which is measured and converted to a temperature reading. The reading is then displayed on an LCD display. IR thermometers are used to measure temperature when an object is fragile, as in ear thermometers, or dangerous to be near, as in the case of industrial equipment.

Test Products International (TPI) manufactures test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, manometers, multimeters, and test leads. The company, founded in 1997, is headquartered in Beaverton, OR.
