FUNCTIONS/APPLICATIONS
Infrared thermometer Maxwell 3 CONDTROL is designed for
non-contact measurement of object surface temperature.
Ergonomic, shock-resistant housing, small size and weight,
intuitive interface, laser pointer, scanning mode provide ease
and convenience of temperature measurement of dangerous,
moving, hard-to-reach distant objects in less than one second
at short press of the trigger.
The principle of operation of infrared thermometer is based
on measuring the intensity of infrared radiation of the object
surface.

4) Emissivity
All objects emit thermal energy. The volume of radiated
energy depends on the surface temperature
and emissivity of the object. The IR-thermometer measures
the intensity of radiation and
uses it to calculate the temperature of the object. Objects with
different surfaces but
equal temperature emit different amount of thermal energy.
Most of the objects and materials, for example, painted
metals, wood, water, leather, fabric have a high emissivity
(0.9 and more) and emit more energy than shiny surfaces and
unpainted metals with emissivity less than 0.6. Adjustment
of emissivity allows the device to take it into account and to
minimize the measurement error.

Measurements
Switch on the device. Aim the device at the object of
measurement and press the trigger. Keep the trigger
pressed to enter continuous measurement. Symbol of active
measurement will appear on the display. Measurement
results will appear on the display in real time mode.
If measurement result is beyond the set limit, LED indicator
turns red, the symbol
Hi or Low appears on the display. When
the trigger is released, the device keeps the last measured
values on the display. The symbol appears on the display.
OPTICAL RESOLUTION
As the distance from the device to the object increases, the
size of the measured spot on object surface increases as well.
To determine the size of the spot (S) you need to divide the
distance from the device to the target (D) by 12.
Laser points serve as the reference to determine the size and
position of measured spot.
125 84 42 - spot (S)
1500 1000 500 - distance (D)
