This beauty is one of the neatest thermometers we've ever seen! You can measure the temperature of anything merely by pointing a IR beam of light at it! That's right, no contact, no sensors, no wires, glass, nothing but a beam of IR light! Is your motor running hot? Is your refrigerator cold enough? How cold IS that bottle of soda? If you want to know, just aim and push the button. The temperature is immediately displayed on the backlit LCD display! Last measurement is automatically held and stored until power-off. Measurements can be momentary or continuous, with minimum and maximum temps held during measurement! You can't ask for much more than that in a handheld thermometer that is contact-free besides!

How does it work, you ask? Well if you really want to know, when making a temperature measurement the surface radiation of the object to be measured is evaluated using the principle of radiation thermometry. This is a purely passive process, i.e. no radiation is transmitted, but instead, use is made of only the natural electromagnetic radiation energy (heat radiation) that every body above a temperature of absolute zero (-273C) has. The temperature can be determined very accurately from this radiation energy if the emission factor of the object being measured is known. We'll stop there, because we only have so much space for all this copy! Runs on 4 LR44 cells (included) for a long life. If you want to know what the temperature is, check it out with the IR101! (The bartender didn't care when I told him my "ice cold beer" was 47.3 degrees so I showed him...he still didn't care!)
