Frequently Asked Questions About This Product

It is a handheld thermometer that measures non-contact by infrared and also accepts a Type K thermocouple probe for contact readings. The IR185VHK reads up to 1850°C by infrared and up to 1370°C by probe.

Infrared gives fast non-contact readings from a distance, while the Type K probe gives direct contact readings, so users can cross-check or measure targets where one method suits better.

By infrared it covers -50°C to 1850°C; by the K-type probe it covers -50°C to 1370°C.

Yes. A bead-type K-type probe with a miniature plug is provided with the instrument.

The IR185VHK offers a 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio, so it can measure smaller targets from further away.

Yes. It offers 20-point data logging with data hold (7 sec) and recall of Max, Min, Difference, Average and Log.

Users should check the maximum target temperature, whether contact input is needed, distance, spot size and emissivity.
