2 Preparations
The BYK t200 IR Thermometer is capable of non-contact, infrared
temperature measurement. By depressing the trigger button, a
dual-beam laser pointer illuminates the target area and measures
the surface temperature. The non-contact Infrared Thermometer
measures surfaces that are difficult to reach or not possible to
measure by contact measurement devices.
FEATURES
• Rapid detection function
• Precise measurements
• Dual laser targeting
• Ergonomic housing design
• Automatic data hold
• Illuminated display screen
• MAX/MIN function
DISTANCE & SPOT SIZE
As the distance (D) from the object increases, the spot size (S) of the
area measured by the unit becomes larger. The relationship between
distance and spot size is shown below. The focal point for the unit is
914 mm (36”). The spot sizes shown indicate 90% encircled energy.
FIELD OF VIEW
Make sure that the target is larger than the unit’s spot size. The
smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. When accuracy is
critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
