Infrared Thermometer

SK-8940

JAN code : 4974425826698

Calibration : Available

JCSS Accredited Calibration : Not available

SK-8940 is an infrared thermometer with a wide measuring range from −40°C to 500°C. Distance-to-spot ratio is 10:1 thus it enables measurement of a narrower area. Emissivity is adjustable between 0.30 and 1.00 in steps of 0.01. Calibration traceability certificate service is available.

    Feature

    One of the best advantages of a contactless infrared thermometer is its quick response. With SK-8940 you can easily and instantly measure surface temperature in one hand.

    Applicable for a wide range of temperature from −40 to 500°C. Using a single-point laser marker helps you identify the target at a glance.

    D:S = 10:1 (D is distance to the object, S is a diameter of a spot circle)

    Emissivity is adjustable in steps of 0.01.

    Certified for PSC, a standard based on Japan's Consumer Product Safety Act, as a class II portable laser device.

    LCD backlight improves readability in a dark place.

    Turns off the power automatically if the keys are not pressed for 10 seconds, to prevent from running out the battery even when you forget to turn it off.

    Automatic hold function keeps the measured value on the LCD for 10 seconds.

    Traceable calibration available

    Description

    Caution! This device is for industrial use, not for clinical use.

    What is the distance-to-spot ratio?

    A distance-to-spot ratio, which is the ratio of the Distance between the object and the thermometer to the size of the Spot, is preset at D:S = 10:1 for SK-8940. For example, if the distance is 500 mm, a spot circle of diameter 50 mm can be measured. Make sure that the object is larger than the circle.

    The spot circle is defined as an area to receive 90% of the emitted energy from the object.

    Warning: Do not look into the laser marker source or point it on eyes as it may damage eyes.

    SK-8940 conforms to the Class II in the Standard for Safe Use of Laser Products (JIS C6802) which is defined as follows: A visible light (wavelength between 400 and 700 nm) with an output level less than 1 mW that a human's protective response can resist.

    PSC mark is labeled on the device to prove its quality based on Japan's Consumer Product Safety Act.
