  • Page 7: General Information

    1.1 Description Thank you for choosing the optris® CTvideo infrared thermometer. The sensors of the optris CTvideo series are noncontact infrared temperature sensors. They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►10 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The alignment of the sensor can be done with the integrated video sighting and crosshair laser aiming.
