Additional Information

The infrared thermometers designed and manufactured by Radiant Innovation Inc. offer features and performance characteristics well-suited to the temperature measurement needs of food professionals. Metris Instruments LLC is the North American distributor for Radiant products. Established in 2000, Radiant Innovation Inc. is the fastest growing global supplier of IR thermometers with over 200,000 units sold in the USA during 2003 and over 250,000 in 2004 (mostly under private label by such companies as Cooper-Atkins, Taylor Precision, Cole-Parmer and Grainger). All Radiant infrared thermometers include:

 ·         Temperature display resolution of 0.1 degrees (°F/°C)

 ·         Enhanced immunity to “thermal shock”

 “Thermal shock” is a very important performance characteristic for hand-held infrared thermometers. Temperature measurement errors resulting from a 10 degree change in environmental temperature of competitive infrared thermometers (e.g., Raytek MT) is about two degrees and requires 30 minutes to stabilize. By contrast, the Radiant TN408LC Model exhibits an error differential of only 0.7 degrees stabilizing in about 7 minutes. For example, this is especially important when the instrument may be used one moment in a hot food preparation area and a walk-in refrigerator the next. 

·         Low-voltage design

Eliminates the heavy 9V battery and provides 10 times more battery life compared with competitive models. Several units with laser include separate batteries for IR and laser power allowing the instrument to operate if the laser battery is drained.

 ·         Selectable measurement modes

Users can select Minimum, Maximum or “Lock” which permits measuring continuously without pressing a button continuously.

Infrared Thermometer Information

Introduction to Infrared Thermometers

How do infrared thermometers work?
The most basic design consists of a lens to focus the infrared (IR) energy on to a detector, which converts the energy to an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient temperature variation. This configuration facilitates temperature measurement from a distance without contact with the object to be measured. As such, the infrared thermometer is useful for measuring temperature under circumstances where thermocouples or other probe type sensors cannot be used or do not produce accurate data for a variety of reasons. Some typical circumstances are where the object to be measured is moving; where the object is surrounded by an EM field, as in induction heating; where the object is contained in a vacuum or other controlled atmosphere; or in applications where a fast response is required.

Common Questions When Using an Infrared Thermometer:

Why should I use an infrared thermometer to measure temperature in my application?
Infrared pyrometers allow users to measure temperature in applications where conventional sensors cannot be employed. Specifically, in cases dealing with moving objects ( i.e., rollers, moving machinery, or a conveyor belt), or where non-contact measurements are required because of contamination or hazardous reasons (such as high voltage), where distances are too great, or where the temperatures to be measured are too high for thermocouples or other contact sensors.

 FAQ
 
  What is the history of IR?
The Royal Astronomer Sir William Herschel discovered "Dark Heat" radiation in 1800.
In 1880 the term "infrared" was coined. Samuel Langley invented the bolometer that measures variations of resistance when heated.
In 1901 a bolometer could detect a cow at 400 meters.
After World War II, many countries invest huge amounts of money in IR for military application.
In 2002 Radiant Innovation, has designed the most compact; most long battery life (70hours continuous use) and the most affordable IR Thermometer by the proprietary SoC & Infrared Technology, use MEMS based; advanced Thermal Sensor.
 
 
  What is infrared radiation (IR)?
IR just like any light ray, is an Electromagnetic Radiation, with lower frequency (or longer wavelength)

Anything above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Kelvin), radiates in the infrared. Even ice cube, snow, your refrigerator emit infrared.
