The Fluke FoodPro infrared thermometer takes noncontact temperature measurement and is used to monitor the surface temperatures of food products and foodservice equipment. This thermometer measures temperature from -30 to 200 degrees C (-20 to 390 degrees F) with an accuracy of or - 1 degree C ( or - 2 degrees F) from 0 to 65 degrees C (32 to 150 degrees F) and or - 1.5% of the reading above 65 degrees C (150 degrees F). It has a 2.5:1 infrared distance-to-spot ratio with LED illumination for highlighting the measurement area. Go/No-Go lights indicate when food is in an unsafe temperature range (40 to 140 degrees F) to meet Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) guidelines. It is Ingress Protection certified IP54 for dust and splashing liquid and can be hand washed without submersion after use. The CE mark indicates compliance with applicable European Union (EU) directives. It comes with one AA battery and instructions. This thermometer is used by foodservice professionals to measure food product and equipment temperatures and help detect potential food safety problems.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.
Digital infrared thermometers measure the temperature of surfaces from a distance. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Infrared (IR) thermometers work by focusing the infrared radiation emitted by a surface onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile turns the heat into electricity, which is measured and converted to a temperature reading. The reading is then displayed on an LCD display. IR thermometers are used to measure temperature when an object is fragile, as in ear thermometers, or dangerous to be near, as in the case of industrial equipment.
