Introduction
1
The Southwire 31011F Infrared (IR) Thermometer measures
surface temperature from -4° to 752°F (-20° to 400°C). The IR
thermometer has a 10:1 Distance-to-Spot ratio which means
that when you aim the thermometer at a surface that is
10-inches away, the thermometer gathers temperature
information from a measurement area (“spot” size) of 1 inch in
diameter. See diagram below. If the IR thermometer is
moved further from the object surface, the measurement area
or spot size increases.
