Page 9: Introduction
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. -
