Actron CP7876 Non-contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Pointer

Infrared thermometers measure surface temperatures, leading to a wide variety of applications. You can use the Actron CP7876 to verify the temperature in your car or home AC system, determine where heat loss is occurring in your home, and ensure your cooking surfaces are reaching proper temperatures.

Recent advances in optics make this technology more accurate and cost-effective. Just aim the IR Thermometer at the target, press a button, and read the temperature display. The device has an optical lens that collects the radiated infrared energy from the object and focuses it on the detector. The detector then converts the energy into an electrical signal that's amplified and displayed as a temperature reading. An infrared thermometer measures temperature by sensing the magnitude of radiated energy at infrared frequencies. Using this data and the actual temperature of the detector, the thermometer calculates the temperature of the surface that emitted the energy.
