Specifications:
The
ThermoHAWK Infrared Thermometer is available in a few different models;
ThermoHAWK� 200, ThermoHAWK� 400, and ThermoHAWK� 400L. The specs on these are
generally the same, except the ThermoHAWK� 400 tests up to 428� F (220�C),
whereas the ThermoHAWK� 200 only tests to 230� F (110�
C). The 400L model is
fitted with an ultra-Bright Flashlight. Detailed specs for the
ThermoHAWK� 200 are listed below:
Measurement Range: -33 to 110�C (-27 to 230�F)
Operating Range: 0 to 50�C (32 to 122�F)
Accuracy: +/- 2.5% (2.5�C)
Accuracy: +/- 1�C
Resolution: 0.2�C (0.5�F)
Response Time: 1 second
Distant to Spot Ratio: 1:1
Emissivity: 0.95 fixed
Update Frequency: 1.4 Hz
Dimensions: 13 mm x 128 mm
Wave Length: 5 um to 14 um
Weight: 45.0 g
Battery: 2 1.5V LR44 Batteries
All of the pen-sized thermometers are very handy and allow an instant temperature
check of almost any object. Inside is a patent-pending thermopile sensor on a
chip technology that has advantages over the older pyrometer infrared sensors.
This basically means that the once large sensor device needed is now small
enough to fit inside a metal housing. This metal cylinder is designed to
prevent electromagnetic and electrostatic interferences, and results in accurate
temperature readings, +/- 2.5%. I found this spec to be correct. After
spending some time running around the house checking surfaces, the accuracy was
about a 1-2�C. This is certainly very acceptable for most applications, like
Electrical, Household, Automotive, Recreation, Office, Hobby, and more.
Computer
gurus will find a product like this very useful for keeping an eye on the case
temperature, monitor, memory temperature, chips, heatsinks, etc...
