Oakton TempTestr IR User Manual

Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an
object. The unit’s optics sense emitted, reflected, and transmitted
energy, which is collected and focused onto a detector. The unit’s
electronics translate the information into a temperature reading
which is displayed on the unit. In units with a laser, the laser is used
for aiming purposes only.
