Infrared Thermometers

Introduction

The 561, 566 and 568 Infrared Thermometers ("the
Thermometers" or "the Product") are for non-contact
temperature measurement. These Thermometers determine an
object's surface temperature by measuring the amount of
infrared energy radiated by the object's surface. The
Thermometers also support contact-temperature measurement
via K-type thermocouple.
Note that the Japanese models indicate Celsius only.
