This no-contact thermometer offers the possibility of adjusting the emissivity for inspections that match reality. To detect hot spots, a simple scan of the target is all it takes (scanner function). Equipped with an extensive temperature range, it also has a high distance/spot targeting ratio. Alarm thresholds can be set to warn of any temperature overruns.

IR Temperature Instruments – contactless, fast & safe
IR temperature instruments (infrared thermometers/pyrometers) measure surface temperatures without contact and in real time—ideal for moving, hard-to-reach or very hot objects. Typical applications: maintenance/service, HVAC/facilities, food/HACCP, process/production, electrical systems and safety.
Depending on the model you get adjustable emissivity (ε), various optics (D:S/spot size), laser aiming (single/twin/circle), Min/Max/Hold, alarms, logging and interfaces (USB/Bluetooth/Modbus) for documentation and integration.
ICS Schneider Messtechnik supports instrument selection, ε setup, blackbody calibration and integration into QA/IIoT environments.
FAQ on IR Temperature Instruments
Answers on principles, emissivity, D:S/spot size, optics, accuracy/response, calibration, documentation and practical use.
Where do IR thermometers work best?
On hot or moving surfaces, electrical components, rollers/pipes, food surfaces, near furnaces/exhausts, and in places you cannot touch without stopping the process.
How does IR measurement work—and why does emissivity (ε) matter?
The instrument senses thermal radiation emitted by the surface. Emissivity describes how efficiently the material emits radiation. A wrong ε creates systematic errors—set ε to match the material or create a matte reference.
What does D:S mean and how big is the spot?
D:S is the ratio of distance (D) to spot diameter (S). The measurement spot must be smaller than the target; otherwise surrounding areas will bias the reading.
Which optics/aiming options exist?
Standard single-point laser, twin-laser (marks spot edges), circle laser (shows full spot), plus telephoto/wide optics to match working distance and target size.
Accuracy & response time—what should I expect?
Typically ±1…2 K or ±1 % of reading (model-dependent). Response times are often < 250 ms. Key influences: ε setting, D:S, ambient conditions (steam/dust), gloss/reflections and focus.
How do I measure shiny/reflective surfaces?
Reduce reflections: apply a matte black patch/tape as a reference, adjust ε accordingly, change viewing angle, or complement with a contact probe.
Emissivity reference values (rules of thumb)
Material | ε (typ.) | Note |
---|---|---|
Food/organic | 0.90–0.98 | usually matte, stable |
Painted/oxidized metals | 0.80–0.95 | generally easy |
Bare, polished metal | 0.05–0.30 | critical → matte the spot |
Plastics | 0.85–0.95 | wavelength-dependent |
How do I choose the right temperature range?
Select a range that covers your process with a safety margin. For very high temperatures consider spectrally selective pyrometers.
IR vs. contact measurement—when to use which?
IR is fast and non-contact but depends on surface properties. Contact is slower yet can be traceably more accurate with proper coupling. Many workflows use both.
Which environmental factors affect readings?
Steam, dust, smoke attenuate/scatter radiation; viewing windows must suit the instrument’s spectral band. Minimize air turbulence where possible.
How do I calibrate/verify an IR thermometer?
Use a blackbody source across the relevant range; set ε and distance/focus, wait for stability, then document the results.
How do I set emissivity correctly?
Create a reference (e.g., matte sticker/paint or a parallel contact probe), then adjust ε until the IR reading matches the reference.
Choosing the right D:S for your task
Optic | D:S (typ.) | Use case |
---|---|---|
Standard | 12:1 … 20:1 | everyday, mid distance |
Telephoto | 30:1 … 50:1 | small targets, long distance |
Macro/close-up | 2:1 … 8:1 | very small targets up close |
How do I document for QA/HACCP?
Use instruments with logging, time stamps, alarms and export (CSV/PDF); reference users/batches and define limits.
What interfaces/integrations are available?
USB/Bluetooth for apps/PC; often analog/RS-485/Modbus for PLC/SCADA/cloud integration (via gateways).
Food/HACCP—what should I consider?
IR measures the surface only. For core-temperature requirements (e.g., doneness), use a penetration probe. Check for sheen/moisture and adjust ε.
Is medical use allowed?
Standard industrial IR devices are not approved for medical diagnostics. For human screening, use certified devices and procedures.
Maintenance & lens care
Clean lens/windows with a lint-free cloth; avoid abrasives. Use protective caps, avoid shocks/vibration, and store dry.
Common pitfalls & quick fixes
- Spot larger than target → move closer / use higher D:S optics
- Wrong ε → adjust ε, add a matte reference
- Reflections → change angle, matte the surface
- Steam/dust path → shorten/clean the path, use a protection window
Do you help with selection, calibration & integration?
Yes. We define optics/D:S and ε concepts, provide calibration certificates, integrate with QA/SCADA/cloud and train your team.
