About Industrial Infrared thermometer
testo 826-T4 - infrared penetration thermometer
Order-Nr.0563 8284
During food controls in Incoming Goods, you regularly check the temperature of your goods. The testo 826-T4 infrared penetration thermometer allows quick temperature scans by means of infrared measurement without damaging the products. If temperature limit values are exceeded, the permanently attached penetration probe can be used to take accurate core temperature measurements (e.g. in yoghurts).

Easy limit value monitoring with the min./max. function; immediate alarm when limit values are exceeded
Watertight and robust thanks to the TopSafe protective case (in scope of delivery)
Versatile Temperature MeasurementDesigned for industrial and laboratory use, this infrared thermometer enables users to measure surface temperatures from -50C to 550C without physical contact. Its adjustable emissivity ensures accurate readings across different material types. The 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio helps users obtain precise results from a safe distance, making it suitable for high-temperature or hard-to-reach environments.
User-Friendly Controls and DisplayThis thermometer features manual control and a digital LCD with backlight, making it easy to operate in diverse lighting conditions. The integrated laser target pointer allows users to precisely pinpoint measurement areas for hassle-free operation. With auto power-off and data hold functions, users can efficiently record measurements and extend battery life during demanding tasks.
Reliable Performance in Challenging ConditionsEngineered for durability, the thermometer operates reliably in ambient temperatures from 0C to 50C and can be safely stored between -20C and 60C. It functions optimally in humidity levels from 10% to 90% (non-condensing), making it ideal for industrial applications. The overrange indication features HI or LO readouts to alert users of measurements beyond device limits.
FAQs of Industrial Infrared thermometer:
Q: How does the distance-to-spot ratio of 12:1 affect temperature measurement accuracy?
A: The 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio means the thermometer measures the temperature of a one-unit diameter spot for every twelve units of distance from the target. This allows for precise, non-contact readings even when measuring hot or inaccessible surfaces from a safe distance.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the emissivity range from 0.10 to 1.00, and why is it important?
A: Adjusting the emissivity is done through the control settings of the device. Its crucial because emissivity affects how infrared energy reflects off surfaces, impacting measurement accuracy. Tailoring the emissivity to the material being measured ensures precise temperature readings.
Q: When should the overrange indication (HI or LO) be used, and what does it mean?
A: The overrange indication appears when the measured temperature is outside the devices range of -50C to 550C. HI signals readings above the upper threshold, while LO indicates values below the lower limit, prompting users to adjust their measurement approach.
Q: Where is this infrared thermometer most effectively used?
A: This thermometer excels in industrial environments such as HVAC servicing, electrical maintenance, laboratory experiments, and automation systems. Its non-contact, handheld design allows users to measure surfaces that are hazardous, moving, or otherwise inaccessible.
Q: How long can I continuously use the thermometer before replacing the battery?
A: The infrared thermometer operates on a 9V battery and provides approximately 12 hours of continuous use. Features like auto power-off help extend battery life during intermittent measurements.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this device for industrial applications?
A: Key benefits include safe, non-contact measurement, fast response time under 500 ms, adjustable emissivity for material-specific accuracy, and an ergonomic design suitable for frequent handheld use. The backlit LCD display and laser pointer streamline operations in varied lighting and working conditions.
